Websites and AI Receptionists for New Zealand Tradies

We build websites, AI receptionists and missed-call text-back for tradies and small local businesses across New Zealand, from Northland to Southland. Websites start from NZ$770 one-off, shown in New Zealand dollars on this page, with optional monthly extras agreed on a free discovery call. We are a UK-based team, and we are upfront about how that works.

Who we help in New Zealand

We work with builders, sparkies, plumbers and gasfitters, roofers, painters, landscapers, heat pump installers, drainlayers, cleaners and pest control. We also help mechanics, salons, physios and gyms.

Most are owner-operators or small crews. Many cover big areas with long drives between jobs and patchy mobile reception on the way, which makes answering every call close to impossible.

What a website and AI receptionist do for Kiwi tradies

Your website shows customers your work, the areas you cover and how to reach you. If you are a Licensed Building Practitioner, a registered electrician or a certifying plumber, we make that easy to see, because customers check. We build it mobile-first and set it up for local search.

The AI receptionist answers website chats at any hour and, if you want, covers calls you cannot take. It collects the address, the job and the best callback number, and sends you one clear message so you can get back to the good ones fast.

Missed-call text-back for New Zealand customers

Kiwi customers are patient, but not that patient. If your phone rings out, they will often try the next tradie instead of leaving a message. Missed-call text-back sends a text from your number within moments, so they know you are on a job and will be in touch.

How New Zealanders find tradies

People search on their phones by trade and suburb or town, read Google reviews, ask on neighbourhood groups and use sites such as Builderscrack, NoCowboys and Neighbourly. Your Google Business Profile, reviews and website work together. We set them up properly and make sure every enquiry gets a quick reply.

Phone numbers

New Zealand mobiles start 02, such as 021, 022 or 027, or +64 from abroad. The AI receptionist and text-back work with your existing number. Our team line is a UK number, so we book video calls or ring you back rather than asking you to call overseas.

Time zones

New Zealand is between eleven and thirteen hours ahead of the UK depending on daylight saving. We book calls in your evening or early morning, and the AI receptionist runs on New Zealand time around the clock.

How we work remotely

Our team is based in Dundee and Belfast in the UK. We do not have an office in New Zealand and we will not pretend otherwise. Everything is done by phone, video call and screen-share.

It starts with a free discovery call at a time that suits you, usually your evening or early morning. We learn what work you want more of, where you work and how enquiries reach you, then agree what you need and the price.

We then build a free demo of your website and walk you through it on a screen-share. You only pay once you are happy with it.

Because we are on the other side of the world, the work often happens while you sleep. You wake up to progress and a short update by email or text, and changes after launch are a message away.

Prefer to talk? Call 0141 230 0198 (UK number) or use the form above and we will call you.

Answers for tradies in New Zealand

How much does an AI receptionist cost for a small business?

With us, an AI receptionist is a monthly extra added to a website that starts from NZ$770 one-off. The monthly price depends on how many calls and chats you get and what you want it to do, such as answering questions, taking job details or texting back missed calls. We agree the exact figure on a free discovery call.

There is no long contract. You can start with missed-call text-back on its own and add the full AI receptionist later. Prices on this page are guides; your final quote is confirmed in writing before any work starts.

What is the best AI receptionist for plumbers, electricians and air-con and heating companies?

The best AI receptionist for a trade business is one that answers instantly, asks the questions you would ask, such as postcode, job type and urgency, and sends you a clear summary by text. It should also text back missed calls and hand emergencies to you straight away rather than trying to book them itself.

We set ours up around your trade: a plumber's version asks about leaks and boiler make, an electrician's asks about fault type and property, and a air-con and heating version asks about system type and service history. It always says it is an assistant and never makes up prices.

Is a website or an AI receptionist better for getting more jobs?

You need both, because they do different jobs. A website helps new customers find you and trust you. An AI receptionist makes sure that, once they get in touch, nobody is left unanswered. A website without fast replies loses enquiries, and fast replies without a website means fewer enquiries to begin with.

If budget is tight, most tradies start with a website from NZ$770 one-off plus missed-call text-back, then add the full AI receptionist once enquiries pick up. We talk this through honestly on the discovery call.

How does missed-call text-back work?

When you cannot answer, your phone forwards the missed call to our system, which sends the caller a text from your business within moments. It says you are on a job and asks what they need. Their reply comes straight to your phone, so you can call back the right people first.

It works with your existing mobile number using normal call forwarding. Only people who have just rung you get a text, and you choose the wording. You can switch it off at any time.

How much does a website for a tradie cost?

Our websites for a tradie start from NZ$770 one-off. That covers a professional, mobile-first site built around your trade and the areas you cover, with Google Business Profile setup. Hosting, updates, the AI receptionist and other extras are optional monthly add-ons, all agreed on a free discovery call first.

We build a free demo of your site before you pay anything, so you can see exactly what you are getting. Bigger sites with lots of service and area pages cost more, and we tell you the price before any work begins.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with tradies all over New Zealand?

Yes. We work with tradies and small businesses across the North and South Islands, entirely by phone and video call. We are a UK-based team, so we book calls in your evening or early morning and do much of the build overnight.

Will my prices be in New Zealand dollars?

Yes. Prices on this page are shown in New Zealand dollars, converted from our sterling base and rounded to clean numbers. Your final price is agreed on your free discovery call before any work begins, and we can invoice in NZ dollars.

How much does a website for a tradie in New Zealand cost?

Our websites start from NZ$770 one-off, shown here in NZ dollars. Extras such as the AI receptionist, missed-call text-back, hosting and review requests are optional monthly add-ons. We agree exactly what you need, and the total, on a free discovery call.

Is the AI receptionist compliant with New Zealand rules?

We set it up to identify itself as an assistant and to text only people who have just called you. You remain responsible for rules such as the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act and the Privacy Act 2020, so we go through them on your discovery call. This is not legal advice.

Can I keep my mobile number?

Yes. Missed-call text-back and the AI receptionist work with the number your customers already have, using call forwarding when you cannot answer.

Does this replace Builderscrack or NoCowboys?

It does not have to. Many tradies keep using those sites while building their own source of work through their website and Google profile. We make sure every enquiry gets a fast reply wherever it comes from.
