Waterproofers on the Sunshine Coast

1 in 10 Australian small businesses have started with AI. The other 9 are your competition.

What a business like this can have running on its own

Six jobs the owner usually does by hand, and what a system built for that business does instead.

Being found: pages for each job and suburb, written so the AI answer at the top of Google shows the business, and kept up to date.
Quotes: website and phone enquiries turned into a filled job sheet with photos, and a quote drafted the same day.
The day before: the customer gets the arrival window, and their reply lands on the tradie's phone.
Getting paid: invoices chased at 7, 14 and 21 days, without the owner having to remember.
Reviews: a review request the evening after each finished job.
The numbers: what is booked, done and still owed, pulled from quotes, jobs and invoices onto one private page.

Each one is a working system, built for that business and owned outright by it. How Coastworks AI builds AI automations for small businesses.
