They ask AI for a builder they can trust with the extension. It gives them two or three names.
An extension or a reno is researched for weeks before anyone picks up the phone, and the research now includes asking ChatGPT, Gemini, Google's AI Overviews, Claude and Perplexity who is reputable. The shortlist forms before you hear a word about the job. Wombid's free audit shows whether you make it. Then we get to work on the signals that decide it.
Your building business is judged on six questions.
Every Wombid audit puts the same six questions a real customer would ask to all five AI engines, live, with your trade and your area swapped in. For a builder in Sutherland Shire they read:
- Who is the best builder in Sutherland Shire?
- Can you recommend a reliable builder near Sutherland Shire?
- I need a builder for a home extension in Sutherland Shire. Who should I call?
- Which builder in Sutherland Shire has the best reviews?
- Emergency builder in Sutherland Shire, who can help fast?
- Affordable builder for a renovation around Sutherland Shire?
Worth being straight about the fifth one: every trade gets the same six-question shape, and “emergency builder” is the weakest of the six for your trade. The weight sits on the extension question, the renovation question and the two reputation questions. They are exactly the questions a homeowner researches hardest, and the answers name names.
One you never see. The other is a quote you already wrote.
“The builder who got the reno had a better Google profile. Not better builds.”
A big job goes to the builder the homeowner can verify: recent Google reviews that name the suburb and the project, a profile that says extensions, renovations and new builds by name, a licence number shown in public, and the same details everywhere. That is what the AI engines read too. Wombid measures what all five say about your business, shows you who is being named instead, then works those signals month after month. No one can guarantee an AI recommendation. What you get is every signal working in your favour, and proof of what changed, from $129 a month after the free audit.
“I priced four renos last spring. Two of them never called back.”
A builder's quote is real money on paper, and a quote that went quiet is not a no. It is a homeowner who stalled, got busy, or is still comparing. The one-off $149 Win-Back Campaign goes through your own ServiceM8, finds up to 100 past customers and quotes that never went ahead, and sends each one a personal text in your name from a number they can reply to. You approve every message before anything sends, replies land on your phone, and opt-outs are handled automatically. One payment, no subscription. We only ever work your own records: no bought lists, no strangers, and we never sell leads.
Reviews are where the two sides meet.
The review engine inside Growth texts your customer one honest Google review request right after you mark the job done, while the finished job is still the best thing they have seen all year. That is a Win work action, and the dated public review it earns is one of the strongest signals the AI engines and Google Maps read when they decide which builder to name.
