Pools, granny flats, extensions and new homes. Every one is on the public record the week it's approved. Members get the ones in their council areas and trade, with the street address, every Monday.
How the leads workThat one closes 30 November. We read the NSW and federal listings every week and send only the grants that fit your business.
How the grants workSome of the best-reviewed weren't among them, because nothing on their websites answered the question.

Get the checkThe information that wins small businesses work is mostly public: new building approvals, open grants, which businesses AI recommends. Nobody has time to dig for it every week, so I do the digging and send you the short version on Monday morning.
It all comes from official, public sources: the NSW Planning Portal, nsw.gov.au and business.gov.au, and AI search asked directly. Nothing is bought, and nothing is taken from behind a login. Every email says where its information came from.
If an email isn't useful, reply and tell me. A real person reads every reply.

Do I need a credit card for the free month? No. You only give us your email and a few details about your business. At the end of the month we send a payment link, and nothing happens unless you use it.
Is the free month a cut-down version? No. You get every service in full, so you can judge it on real results.
Is it $49 for each service? No. $49 a month covers all three. Sign up for the one that suits you, and add the others anytime by replying to any email.
How do I cancel? Reply "stop" to any email, or email us. Paid months are month to month, with no lock-in contract.
Where does the information come from? Building approvals from the NSW Planning Portal, the state's open record of approvals, updated daily. Grants from nsw.gov.au and business.gov.au, each linked to its official page. AI visibility from asking AI search directly; every report says which tools were checked and when.
Which areas do you cover? Building leads cover every council area in NSW, because all NSW councils use the Planning Portal. Grants cover NSW and federal programs. The AI check works for any local service business in Australia.
Does anyone else get the same leads? The records are public, so others may see them too. The advantage is hearing about them in the same week, every week, without searching.
Can you guarantee AI will recommend me? No, and nobody honestly can. AI answers change from day to day. We show where you stand, what the recommended businesses do differently, and whether your changes are working.
What do you do with my details? We use them only to run your service and reply to you. We don't sell or share them. Read the privacy policy.
