Someone searching for a handyman usually has a short list of small jobs and does not want the cost or the wait of calling a specialist trade for each one. Your website’s job is to say clearly what you do take on and what you do not. We build it first, from what is already public about you, and then give it to you. It costs nothing to have and nothing to keep.
“Handyman [suburb]”, “odd jobs near me”, “small repairs quote”: the searcher usually has one or two specific jobs in mind — a fence paling, a door that sticks, flat-pack furniture — and is checking whether it is worth your time as much as theirs.
That changes what the website is for. It is there so someone can see, fast, the kinds of small jobs you actually take on, the towns you cover, and a phone number that gets answered.
There is no single licence for general handyman work, which is exactly why being clear about the edges of what you do matters. Electrical work and gas fitting legally have to go to a registered electrician or a certifying plumber — a handyman cannot do either, no matter how capable. Saying that plainly, rather than staying vague, tells a careful customer you know where the line is.
Most people calling a handyman are not sure what counts as a small job and what needs a licensed trade. Naming your public liability insurance, and the jobs you do not take on, does more to build trust than a long list of everything you might do.
Nothing. We build the page from what is already public about your business and send you the link. If you want it, we put it live and you pay us nothing for it. There is no card, no trial, and no fee that starts later. It sits at an address of ours, not your own domain name, and it carries one line at the bottom saying we built it.
It asks one thing of you. Once a year we send one message asking whether the details are still right, and two reminders over the month after it. If we cannot reach you, the page comes down — a page with your name and a wrong phone number on it is worse for you than no page at all. It also comes down when you ask, for any reason or none, within five New Zealand working days at the latest, and we will not ask you why.
The only thing you can pay for is changes made for you. You message us a new price, new hours, a holiday closure or a photo of the new van, and we make the change, within five New Zealand working days at the latest. That is NZ$299 for the year, and it includes your own domain name registered in your business name and email on it. No monthly fee, no minimum term, and it does not renew itself. No GST is added. The full terms are here.
If somebody else would suit you better — and for plenty of handyman businesses they would — we have listed every option we could find, with the price each company publishes on its own site: who should build your website.
We build the first version of your page from your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, and anything else already public about your business, then send you the link. You look at it before anything happens. If you do not want it we take it down, you owe nothing, and we will not contact you about it again.
If you have not claimed your Google Business Profile yet, It matters even more for a handyman than for a licensed trade, because there is no register to check you against, so being upfront about what you will not touch is the trust signal that replaces it. The walkthrough is here: how to claim your Google Business Profile in New Zealand.
Being straight with you: we build and host the website, not your Google Business Profile, because that needs a verified New Zealand address and we are not in New Zealand. The walkthrough above covers the whole process yourself; it takes about twenty minutes and it is free.
Electrical work and gas fitting. Both legally have to go to a registered electrician or a certifying plumber, and a handyman cannot do either job, however capable. Being upfront about that on your website builds more trust than staying vague.
The kinds of small jobs you take on, the towns you cover, whether you are insured, and a phone number that gets answered. That does more work than a long list of everything you might do.
For a lot of trades, a Facebook page covers most of what people need day to day. What it does not do well is show up when someone searches your trade and town on Google rather than on Facebook, and it can look less permanent to someone checking you out before they call. We wrote the comparison up properly here: Facebook page or website, for a New Zealand trade business. If you are not showing up in a search at all — not even for your own business name — here is why, in the order it usually happens.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one, and if we can, we email you the link to look at. There is nothing to pay at any point for the page itself.
Not a handyman? See the same approach for plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, landscapers, auto electricians, painters, plasterers, scaffolders, fencing contractors, gardeners and lawn care businesses, tilers, concreters, gutter cleaning businesses, pest control businesses, locksmiths and glaziers.
Based in a main centre? See the same approach for businesses in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton, or see every trade and city.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one — this is one person, so we cannot build for everyone who asks. Either way there is nothing to pay.
