Quick And Easy

It takes less than a minute to sign up for a free or premium Smartbuild account. You can continue creating your business listing now, or come back when you have more time up your sleeve. You'll appreciate the simple account management tools we have for you inside. Our tools are designed for people who would rather be out playing golf than spending their time in front of a computer screen. You can upload your business information during business hours or at three o'clock in the morning. Smartbuild gives you the power to deliver your message when you want and how you want. Your premium business listing can be compared to a mini website with it's own content management system.

Our Search Engine

Our search engine has been designed to return results that match what people actually search for. The results are geographically targeted, helping you to find local customers while minimising any costs normally associated with enquiries outside of your service area. The order our search results are displayed is based entirely on relevance. This means we keep our marketplace fair for all and produce highly relevant results for people searching for your products and services. Your location and keyword relevance is what matters most, not how big your marketing budget is. With Smartbuild, getting local customers has never been easier.

Smartbuild Vs Search Engines

Search engines are great at organising all the information on the internet and making it easily accessible for everyone. And without Google and the other search engines, the internet would be nowhere near as useful as it is today. Business directories and marketplaces are a little different to search engines as visitors are there to find a product or service and then follow-up to make a purchase. Smartbuild only serves the Australian home improvement market so we can focus all of our resources to deliver you the best possible result. And since your business listing is also indexed by the major search engines, you really do get the best of both worlds.

SEO

If you already have a website, why not use Smartbuild to drive extra traffic to it. Your Smartbuild listing includes a direct link to your website and tools to track how many people click on it.
Our SEO teams are at the forefront of search engine optimisation so the products and services you list on Smartbuild will also be found on the major search engines.
Even if you don't have a website just yet, your Smartbuild listing acts like a self managed website.
So whichever way you look at it, the more products and services you have in your Smartbuild listing the more your business will appear online and the more customers will find you.

Security

Thousands of business owners have entrusted us with their personal and business details. So yes we are very serious about data security. We diligently scan our site daily looking for possible threats. Should a security issue be detected, we immediately take action.

We don't publish your email address publicly on Smartbuild. This is done to protect your email from spammers who regularly harvest emails from business directories. Instead, we use customised forms that allow customers to contact you quickly and easily straight from your Smartbuild listing.

Free And Premium Listings

Smartbuild displays premium listings on a page that is solely dedicated to your business without any competitive ads. You wouldn't display competitors ads on your own website to make a few extra dollars, so why would we?
Free listings are a different matter. For us to be able to provide free accounts and continue developing more tools and features for all our customers, we display relevant competitive advertising within free business listings.

If your not convinced a premium listing is valuable to your business, then sign up now for a free listing today. You owe your business at least that much effort don't you?

Our Search Results

With most online directories displaying their search results based on who is paying the most for advertising, it's no wonder the big players are getting the lions share of enquiries. Research reveals that although this is great for the big players with multi million dollar budgets, it doesn't always deliver the best possible result for the person doing the actual search.

Our search engine uses a unique algorithm that sorts all business listings based on how relevant they are to the search query and location.

We don't sell "higher positions" or listings that display at the top of results because they pay more like other online directories. Our model levels the "playing field" for all businesses.

You can't get fairer than that can you?

Monthly Fee Vs Pay Per Click

Business directories that charge a "monthly subscription fee" grow their revenue by increasing the number of listings. It's as simple as that.

Directories that charge a pay per click model grow revenue by increasing the number of potential customers looking at your listing. Even if every single home improvement retailer in Australia signed up to Smartbuild, it wouldn't do us much good. But getting every home renovator, builder and tradie to use Smartbuild as their preferred building directory is the way we generate leads for you and grow revenue for us.

4 powerful reasons to choose our pay per click model over a traditional subscription model.

1. You only pay when a potential customer either clicks on your premium listing or sends you an enquiry. If we can't deliver, you pay nothing.
2. All of your clicks and leads are paid for after you have received them, helping you to profit first and pay later.
3. Our IT team is highly motivated to get every home renovator, builder and trades person looking for building materials and trades to the Smartbuild website and in front of your business listing.
4. If you decide a premium account and our pay per click model is not for your business, you can downgrade to a free Smartbuild account at any time no questions asked.

If your going to pay a directory to promote your business, look past the flashy website and the marketing buzz and ask yourself one simple question. Do they make their money by signing up more of my competitors or by getting more potential customers to my listing?

When you seriously consider the motivating drivers and competitive advantage our pay per click model gives to your business, you wont ever want to pay a subscription fee again.

Your Monthly Budget

Premium account holders can simply set the amount they're willing to spend for the month and Smartbuild does the rest.

How does it work?

To prevent you from spending more than your set budget, our system modifies your premium listing into a free listing once your budget is reached for the month.

And it's totally automated, just set and forget.

A notification email or SMS is sent to you when 80% of your budget has been used, so you don't have to monitor your account status. When the new month begins, your account is upgraded back into a premium account format with the same budget settings as the previous month.

The budgeting tool is wonderfully simple to use and gives you:

• Total control over how much you spend.
• Continuous exposure to potential customers even after your budget is reached (in a temporary free listing format for the remainder of the month).
• The flexibility to increase or decrease your budget at any time during the month.

Listing Layout

Smartbuild has worked closely with home improvement retailers to deliver an ideal format for business listings. Our listings are formatted to track all the clicks made and report them straight into your Smartbuild account in real time. You just can't get that type of customer intelligence in a traditional online directory.

Our Smart Reports

Information that is valuable to your business, should be at your fingertips.

Some of our Smart Reports:

• Visitors to your listing
• How many visitors clicked to view your contact information
• Visits to your website
• Number of enquiries (email, fax and SMS)
• SMS download requests made for your listing
• Keywords used to find your listing (coming soon)
• Many more coming soon!

So when a potential customer is browsing your listing, they have to click and "reveal" your contact details letting you know they are potential customers and not just tire kickers.
