Honest prices. No surprises.
Every service we sell is on this page, with its add-ons. Most are a fixed price. The few that depend on the job say Quoted, and you get that number in writing before any work starts. All prices include GST.

Websites
Three bundles, or just the site. Most trades know which one they are within about a sentence. More on the Website page.
Each bundle price is the build. Hosting and looking after the site afterwards is a care plan, $32 a month, or $164 if you want us updating content and reporting each quarter. Every site is on one, because the care plan is the hosting. Which one you are on is settled when your site goes live rather than signed before you have seen it (Get Chosen includes Managed).

Bought separately that is $3,790. You save $501.
Straight up, before you choose
A one-page site will not outrank a competitor who has fifteen. If being found on Google matters to you, start at Get Calls. Get Found is for trades who get their work by word of mouth and just need somewhere credible to point people.

There is no uptime guarantee on either plan. What you get is that we find out first and tell you, then fix it.
Built to be found
Included in every site above. Not a monthly extra.
Every site we build has the technical groundwork search engines actually look for — proper page titles on every address, the code that tells Google what your business is and where it works, a sitemap, images that do not slow the page down, and a site that loads fast on a phone on mobile data. Most cheap sites skip it. Most agencies charge a monthly fee for it.
Don’t take our word for it. Send us the site you have now and we will run our scorecard over it and tell you what is wrong with it — free, whether or not you end up working with us. It takes us about an hour and you will learn more from it than from any sales pitch.
Adding to it later
Not now. These are the things clients add once the site is earning its keep.
| What | Why you’d bother | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Articles that bring you work | Six researched pieces answering what your customers actually Google, or one a month, ongoing | $1,639 or $319 a month |
| Another service page | You have added a service, or you want to be found for one you do not rank for yet | $319 |
| A job worth showing off | One real job, in one real suburb, with your photos. It is how people in that suburb find you | $209 |
| Service Area Setup: a “where we work” page | Backed by travel-time analysis rather than a list of suburbs you have never worked in | $209 |
| Where your next jobs are | Free government data mapped against your service area, ranked by where the demand is | $759 |
| Rewrite a page you already have | When a page is out of date, or was never written to bring in work | $209 |
| Five more jobs in the gallery | Your best recent work, where customers look before they ring | $374 |
| Your Instagram feed on your site | Your Instagram posts shown on your own site, with no third-party script slowing it down | $220 |
| A photo pack | Ten licensed images matched to your trade, for when you do not have your own yet | $319 |
| Change block | Three hours of changes to your site, twelve months to use them | $429 |
| Only your name in the footer | Takes the “Site provided by Embolster Services” credit off your site, billed with your care plan | $66 a year |
Google Business Profile
The listing that turns up before your website does. More on the Google Business Profile page.
| What it covers | Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Claimed and verified, categories, services, service area, hours, description, photos, first post. Included in every bundle | $440 |
| Profile Upkeep | We check nothing has been changed on your listing behind your back, and keep hours, services, photos and a quarterly post current | $506 a year |
| Reviews on your site | Your live Google reviews shown on your own site, refreshing themselves. Included in every bundle | $110 |
Two options. Most trades know which one they are.
Simple Mail — $7 per mailbox, per month
It’s just you, and email does the job. Your own name@yourbusiness, on your phone, backed up every night, and a human answers when something breaks. $110 to set up. Each mailbox holds 30 GB, or 50 GB for $14 a month.
No two-factor login. That is the main thing you give up at this price; if a stolen password would hurt, take Secure Mail.
Secure Mail — $21 a month
+ $215 to set up, plus $83 for each extra person · $16 a month for each extra person
You’ve got staff, or you invoice serious money. Two-factor login switched on, and Google’s own scam and virus filtering working on every message before it reaches you. Moving across takes a couple of days and you keep every old email.
Setup is $325 if your website is not with us.
Both of them are backed up. That part isn’t optional.
Every mailbox we run is copied every night and kept separately from the company that provides your email, so if something goes wrong at their end, your mail is not gone with it. On Simple Mail we have restored from it, so getting mail back is a job we have done before.
And when your mail stops working, we know and we send you a text, on both options. Getting something restored is charged as support time. It is rare, and we would rather tell you now than surprise you later.
Why anyone bothers with the second one
Invoice redirection is how trades actually lose money by email. Someone gets into a mailbox, changes the bank details on an invoice, and your customer pays a stranger. It is not rare and it is not theoretical. In nine days in May 2026, five attempts landed on our own clients, and four of them got through the filtering they were on.
If a redirected payment would genuinely hurt — say you are sending invoices over $10,000 — that is the line. The full story is on the email page.
What your email plan covers
Your mailbox backed up every night · a text from us when your mail stops working · two-factor enforced and password-only sign-in switched off (Secure Mail) · the domain records that show when someone sends mail pretending to be you, set and watched · your DNS managed · a named human who answers the phone. Restores, new devices and the rest are billed as support. The full list is below.
Job Management Software
Choosing the right platform for how your business actually runs, then getting everyone using it. More on the Job Management Software page.
| What it is | Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform Assessment, solo | One person quoting and invoicing, and one way a job starts | $1,639 |
| Platform Assessment, team | A team, a yard, or more than one way a job can start | $2,739 |
| Adoption Support | Across the rollout, until it sticks. Usually 3 to 4 days on your own, 5 to 7 with a team | $1,320/day |
Plenty of businesses only ever buy the assessment, and the recommendation is yours whether or not you go further with us. We take no commissions from the platforms.
Getting paid
Switching on what Xero already does but nobody set up. More on the Automation page.
| What it is | Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Get Paid, on Xero | Automatic invoice reminders, a Pay now button on every invoice, payments matched back, and your Google review link on the invoice. Tested on a real invoice and handed over in writing | $429 one-off |
No monthly fee. Xero itself costs you nothing extra; the only new cost is the card fee when a customer pays by card, and we give you that in writing first.
Cyber
We sell checks, not monitoring. Why, in more detail.
| What it is | Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Cyber Questionnaire Answer | A builder or an insurer has sent you a form. One call, answered honestly. Under about $3 million in turnover, start here | $319 |
| Cyber Posture Review, small | One ute, a phone, one or two logins, the usual accounting-and-email | $869 |
| Cyber Posture Review, medium | A few utes, a shed, someone doing the admin, three or four platforms | $1,375 |
| Cyber Posture Review, large | An office, a server, payroll, or more than one business | Quoted |
| Yearly re-check | The review again, a year on, booked around your insurance renewal | $429 or $649 |
Over about $3 million in turnover, insurers check what you claim, and the review is the right product. Cyber Questionnaire Answer · Cyber Posture Review.
Tech Health Check
A fixed-price half day across everything: website, email, backup, job software and where you are exposed, ending in a written plan you keep. More on the Tech Health Check page.
| Your setup | Price |
|---|---|
| One ute, a phone, one or two logins, the usual accounting-and-email | $1,089 |
| A few utes, a shed, someone doing the admin, three or four platforms | $1,749 |
| An office, a server, payroll, or more than one business | Quoted |
| The re-check, a year on | $539 or $825 |
Setup and support
Support is bought in hours, not as a contract. There is no monthly support fee. More on the Setup & Support page.
| What it is | Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Support block | Eight hours, prepaid, twelve months to use them, priority response | $1,188 |
| Ad hoc | When you would rather just ring. One-hour minimum | $165/hr |
| Setup & implementation | New devices, moving mail, adding people: project work with a start and an end | Quoted |
| Networks & connectivity | The workshop, the yard and the site office | Quoted |
| Upgrades & migrations | Moving off something that has run out of road | Quoted |
| Spam blocking on request | Forward us the emails, any number in one request; done the next business day | $50 a request |
What is billed separately, on any plan: setting up new devices and phones after you are live · adding or removing people · migrating extra mailboxes · restores · training · anything that has broken and needs fixing · changes beyond your allowance. Worth being precise about, because this is where most providers are vague and then surprising.
What we don’t do
Worth saying up front, so nobody is disappointed later.
We can’t remove bad reviews. Nobody can promise to: Google decides, and knocks back about half of what gets reported. We will help you write a reply, and that is charged as support time.
We don’t run your social media. We will put your Instagram feed on your site. We will not post for you.
We don’t do Google Ads. Different job. We will point you at someone who does.
We don’t do link building. The cheap end of that trade carries real penalty risk, and we will not put your domain near it.
We don’t build online shops.
We don’t take your photos. We will tell you exactly what to shoot, process what you send, and use licensed stock for the gaps.
We’re not your software vendor’s help desk. If ServiceM8 is broken, that is their job, and we will tell you so rather than bill you to sit on hold.
We can’t promise a spot on Google. Anyone who does is guessing. We build the site so it can rank, and we show you the numbers each quarter.
We don’t sell hardware and we take no commissions from software companies. When we tell you a platform is wrong for you or a machine does not need replacing, there is nothing in it for us either way.
We won’t put an AI between you and a customer ringing about a problem. Not for you, and not for us either. You ring a person.
How the money works
Ongoing services are one invoice a year. Care plans, email and Profile Upkeep: setup plus twelve months, paid up front. Not a direct debit you forget about.
Twelve-month minimum on ongoing services. After that it rolls on. Leave whenever: the domain is yours and we will not hold it hostage.
One-off work is a fixed price, agreed before it starts. Where a line says Quoted, you get the number in writing first. Extra work is quoted before it starts, or billed at $165 an hour if you would rather just ask.
