trAIdie, Get Found by Google AI & ChatGPT Before Your Competition Finds Out How
Australia's First AI Visibility Program for Tradies

Get found by Google AI & ChatGPT before your competition finds out how.

Right now, your competitors are getting found first. You're losing jobs you don't even know about, because AI already decided who gets the call before the homeowner even picked up the phone.

No tech skills needed. If you can send a text, you can run this system.

20-minute call. We'll talk through your business first to see if this is the right fit.

Let's be clear about something

One system. One investment.
The only thing standing between you and AI sending you the next job, instead of your competitor.

This isn't another subscription to manage or another app to learn. It's a single, complete strategy that makes sure AI actually recommends your business when someone in your area is ready to book.

You can be the best tradie in your industry.
But if you can't be found, you're the best kept secret.

Skill alone doesn't get the phone ringing anymore. Being found does. Nearly half of all Google searches are for something local, and 45% of homeowners now ask AI first. trAIdie makes sure the best tradie in the area is actually the one AI recommends.

The problem

Referrals built your business.
They won't scale it.

Word of mouth got you to where you are. It won't get you past it. What you want is predictable leads you can turn on when you need work and ease off when you're booked solid. The tradies pulling ahead right now aren't better at the trade than you, they're the ones AI recommends first, every time someone searches. That's not luck. That's a system. And right now, almost none of your competitors have built one.

  • Tired of waiting on referrals and hoping the phone rings
  • Feast and famine weeks, no predictable pipeline you control
  • Your competitors are getting called by AI, you're not
  • Spending money on ads with no system behind them
  • The best tradie online gets the call before the best tradie offline

Is this you?

trAIdie isn't built for everyone.
It's built for tradies ready to invest in a real system.

Being upfront about who this works for, and who it doesn't, means the conversation we have on a call is worth both our time.

This is built for you if

  • You're an established tradie, not just starting out
  • You're tired of relying on referrals and want a real system
  • You're willing to commit 30–60 minutes a week to implementation
  • You want to build something that runs while you're on the tools
  • You're ready to invest properly in your business's future, not just try something cheap

This isn't for you if

  • You're looking for someone to do everything for you with zero involvement
  • You want overnight results with no implementation
  • You're not willing to ask customers for reviews after every job
  • You're just starting out and not yet actively trading
  • You're shopping on price rather than looking for the right fit

Nothing techy in it. Everything is plain English, and if you get stuck you message Luke. A real person, not a support ticket.

Who's behind this

Built by someone who's invested six figures in marketing, across his own trade businesses.

Not an agency theory. Not a course written by someone who's never run a trade business. trAIdie is built by a tradie who has personally spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on marketing and AI upskilling, across multiple trade businesses he's owned and operated. The system works because he had to make it work, with his own money, in his own business, first.

Australia's
First &
Only

Built specifically for trades.
By someone who's run them.

Most agencies selling "AI marketing" to tradies are running corporate playbooks, systems built for businesses with marketing teams and big budgets, squeezed into a trade business that doesn't have either. And they're slow. Weeks to get anything live, while you're still waiting on referrals to keep the lights on. trAIdie is different. It's built for trade businesses of every size, from one bloke and a ute to a full team of crews, designed so you can run it yourself in 30 to 60 minutes a week, without paying an agency retainer for something you can DIY with the right system and the right support.

Luke Shepherd, founder of trAIdie
Australia's First AI Visibility Coach for Tradies
Why Luke
"I'm not a traditional marketing guy. I've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on marketing in my own businesses and on upskilling myself in AI. The difference is I've actually owned and run multiple trade businesses, I'm not theorising, I've lived it."

That combination is rare. Most marketing coaches, business coaches and coaching programs have never run a trade business. Most tradies have never had the time or budget to properly learn AI. Luke has done both, built and operated multiple trade businesses while investing seriously in marketing and AI upskilling most operators never touch.

trAIdie is what happens when that experience gets distilled into a system any tradie can run themselves, no BS, no agency fluff, just what actually works, explained in plain English any tradie can follow.

One thing worth knowing

More leads is the goal. It's also where a lot of tradies get caught out.

When trAIdie works, the phone rings more, which means more quoting, more scheduling, more decisions about pricing and people. If that side of the business isn't ready, busier can start to feel worse, not better. For members who reach that point, Luke also runs a separate 1:1 program through Trade Assist covering sales, pricing, and hiring, but that's a conversation for later. Right now, the only thing that matters is getting you found.

Before you apply

Questions worth answering before we talk.

What's the actual investment?
We don't list pricing publicly because every trade business is different, your starting point, your goals, and what's already in place all affect the right path. We'll talk through your specific situation on the call and you'll know exactly what's involved before you decide anything.
I'm not techy at all. Can I actually do this?
Yes, and you won't be the first to ask. Everything is click-by-click, built for someone who'd rather be on the tools. The Live Build Day means the hard setup gets done with Luke, live, not left for you to figure out. And between calls you've got a dedicated coach in work hours plus the trAIdie AI after hours, trained on hundreds of hours of Luke's coaching. If you can send a text and take a photo, you've got all the tech skills this needs.
How is this different from hiring a marketing agency?
An agency manages things for you, and keeps the knowledge to themselves. trAIdie teaches you the system and gives you direct support while you build it, so you own it permanently. No ongoing agency retainer required once it's running.
How much time does this actually take?
30–60 minutes a week once the system is set up. The Live Build Day is a half-day investment upfront. Everything else is built to fit around being flat out on the tools, not instead of it.
What if I don't get results?
Results depend on implementation, like anything worth doing. The tradies who show up to calls, complete the weekly actions, and ask for reviews after every job get results. The system works, what we can't control is whether someone runs it. That's exactly why we have a conversation first, instead of just taking anyone's booking. And you're covered by the 30-day guarantee either way.
Is this just SEO with a new name?
No. SEO gets you found on Google. AI visibility is a different, newer discipline, it's about getting recommended directly by ChatGPT and Google AI Overview when someone asks who to call. Most SEO services haven't caught up to this yet. trAIdie is built specifically for it.
Why do I need to apply instead of just booking a call?
Because this only works if you're the right fit, and we'd rather find that out in five minutes than waste your time or ours on a call that goes nowhere. The short application means when we do talk, it's a real conversation about your business.
Limited intake, monthly

We only take on a small number of tradies each month.

This isn't a course with unlimited seats. Direct access to Luke and a small-group Live Build Day means numbers stay tight so every member actually gets the support they need. Applications are reviewed in the order they come in.
