For blind installers

Three options. Only one actually works for your business.

Agency
$2,500 to $4,000 / mo
Slow. Expensive. Removed from your business.
You get a brochure site with stock photos of blinds you didn't install, twelve Instagram posts a quarter about 'light control', and a contact who has never measured a window or argued with a strata committee. Meanwhile Luxaflex's national call-centre outranks you on 'plantation shutters [your suburb]' and the homeowner three streets away has already booked their measure-and-quote with a franchise rep.
DIY tools
$80 to $180 / mo + your evenings
Cheap, but it just hands you a dashboard.
Squarespace, a Hipages subscription, an Instagram you post to from the ute, hi-vis decals. Cheap, but you write the captions at 9pm after a measure-and-quote in Vaucluse, the suburb pages stay theoretical, and you never get round to ringing the local strata managers who could put you on the preferred-installer list for thirty buildings.
ACTUALLY DOES IT
In-House
$299 / mo flat
Cheap, and it actually does the work.
The AI marketing team writes the captions, ships a plantation-shutter page for every suburb you work, runs motorised-blind and roller-blind ads with the measure-and-quote-in-home hook, and posts the strata-block install in your voice. You upload a photo from the install, approve the week, get on to the next measure.

Luxaflex owns the search, the strata blocks are where the year is won

The reality

Blind installation looks like a window-treatment trade from the outside but it's three businesses sharing a van: one-off residential (a homeowner who wants roller blinds across the front of the house, $1,500 to $4k a job), high-end design installs (plantation shutters, motorised Roman blinds, double-roller block-out and sunscreen combos, $8k to $25k a job, slower sales cycle), and strata-block contracts (one job that does forty units of the same blind across an apartment block, $40k-plus, repeat work every five years). The marketing job is different for each. Worse, the search results are dominated by national franchise brands: Luxaflex, Hunter Douglas, Veri-Shades, Norman Shutters, and the showrooms that sell their product. They run national Google Ads, they have a measure-and-quote rep network, and they outrank every independent installer on the generic 'plantation shutters [suburb]' searches. The independent installer with the better measure-and-quote service and the longer fabric warranty sits on page two, and the homeowner books with the franchise rep who showed up first.

What good looks like

Good blind-installer marketing is three things kept separate, not blended. A residential window-treatment hub with one suburb page per area you work (Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, Lower North Shore, whichever pays the bills), each one with eight photos of finished installs split between roller blinds, plantation shutters, Romans, Venetians and verticals, a clear 'free measure-and-quote in your home, no obligation' booking flow in two clicks, and a fabric-and-brand line that names the Luxaflex, Veri-Shades, Norman Shutters and locally-fabricated alternatives you can quote against. A motorised-blind upsell page that explains Somfy motorisation, wind-sensor automation for the alfresco roller, and integration with the Control4 or Google Home setup. And a strata-and-commercial B2B hub aimed at strata managers and building managers with the fire-rated-blind capability, the supplier indemnity insurance certificate, and a 'forty units in a fortnight' install-capacity callout. Get this right and the strata-block contracts pay the year and the residential measure-and-quote diary fills six weeks deep.

Luxaflex and Hunter Douglas own the search
National franchises bid hard on every suburb search and run a measure-and-quote rep network. The independent installer with the better fabric warranty and the longer-lasting motors sits on page two until you outrank them on the long tail.
The measure-and-quote-in-home is the conversion event
Books the appointment, you walk out with the order in 90 percent of cases. Doesn't book, you never see them. Most installer websites bury the appointment form behind a contact page and lose half the leads to friction.
Strata blocks are the year-maker and nobody's marketing to them
One strata-block contract does forty units in a fortnight, $40k-plus, plus a five-year recurrence. The strata managers who pick the installer are quietly Googling on Tuesday mornings. Without a strata-focused B2B page you never get on the preferred-installer list.

Caption from yesterday's Mosman install

"Installed 14 plantation shutters across a Mosman terrace yesterday. 89mm basswood louvres, French-stained finish to match the original cedar windows, hidden tilt rod so the louvres look like they belong in a 1910 house. Five-year warranty on the timber, lifetime on the hardware. The owners had three quotes: Luxaflex at $11k, a Hipages bloke at $5k, ours at $8.2k with the heritage colour-matched stain included. If you want plantation shutters in the Lower North Shore, measure-and-quote in your home within 72 hours, link in bio." Drafted from the install photo.

Six agents, working in your accounts.

Account Lead, Web, SEO, Advertising, Social Media, and Content. One platform, one bill, you approve the work.

Account Lead

Builds your annual plan around the work that actually pays (high-end plantation shutters and motorised installs in the design-conscious suburbs, mid-market roller-blind installs in the family-home suburbs, or strata-block contracts as the year-maker) instead of chasing every blind keyword. Briefs the other agents so the suburb pages, the upsell ads, the install social grid and the strata-manager outreach all push toward the work you want, not the cheapest-quote commodity market.

Answers: luxaflex and hunter douglas own the search
Web Agent

Imports your existing site so you stop paying for hosting plus a CMS subscription, and turns the measure-and-quote-in-home booking flow into a two-click form instead of a three-page friction wall. Ships separate hub pages for the work you actually do (plantation shutters, roller blinds, motorised, strata-and-commercial), each with a real portfolio gallery from your phone, a fabric-and-brand line, a price-from band, and a 'free measure-and-quote within 72 hours' booking flow, to your live site in two taps.

Answers: the measure-and-quote-in-home is the conversion event
SEO Agent

Goes through your live site for the things that actually move blind-installer rankings: suburb keywords on the plantation-shutter and roller-blind hubs, separate keyword targeting per product so the motorised page doesn't cannibalise the manual page, supplier-brand mentions (Luxaflex, Hunter Douglas, Veri-Shades, Norman Shutters, Somfy) for the brand-led searches, supplier indemnity insurance and fabric-warranty length called out as trust signals, and a Google Business Profile that lists every product as a separate service with a 'free measure-and-quote' attribute. Auto-applies the low-risk fixes.

Answers: luxaflex and hunter douglas own the search
Advertising Agent

Launches separate Google Ads campaigns per product per suburb: plantation-shutter ads with a heritage colour-matched-stain hook in the design-conscious suburbs, motorised roller-blind ads with the Somfy and wind-sensor automation upsell, manual roller-blind ads at the volume-end CPC. Drops the broad 'blinds' bid entirely. Switches on Meta for the design-led visual content because plantation shutters and motorised installs sell well on Instagram for the renovator audience.

Answers: the measure-and-quote-in-home is the conversion event
Social Media Agent

Turns every finished install into a post in your real accounts: plantation shutters across a Mosman terrace, motorised double-roller blinds in a Bondi apartment, vertical blinds for a Parramatta family home, a strata-block install of forty units in a fortnight in Chatswood. Builds the portfolio that wins the measure-and-quote appointment ahead of the franchise rep. You upload one photo per finished install, the agent drafts the caption in your voice with the product, the fabric brand and the price comparison against the franchise, you approve.

Answers: luxaflex and hunter douglas own the search
Content Agent

Drafts the long-form pieces customers Google before they book a measure-and-quote: 'plantation shutters cost in Sydney 2026', 'basswood vs PVC plantation shutters', 'roller blinds: block-out vs sunscreen vs double-roller', 'motorised blinds: are they worth it', 'how to brief a blind installer for a strata block'. Two drafts a month, in your voice, that pull in the homeowner two months before they get a Luxaflex rep through the front door.

The bottom line

A blind installer who measures properly, quotes a basswood plantation in the right heritage stain, and finishes the install in a day with hidden-tilt-rod hardware is already better than the franchise rep working off a price list. The work is making sure the homeowner three streets away sees the Mosman terrace install before they ring Luxaflex. That's the suburb-page library, the product-by-product ad set with the measure-and-quote-in-home hook in the headline, the install social grid, and the strata-manager relationships that put you on the preferred-installer list for thirty buildings.

Agencies are too dear to run separate product-by-product campaigns for $3.5k a month. DIY tools are cheap but the measure-and-quote booking form stays buried behind a contact-us page and the strata manager never gets a phone call. In-House is the third option: for $299 a month the agents ship the plantation-shutter pages, launch the motorised-blind ads, post every install, and brief the strata management companies you actually want on the preferred-installer list with. You stay in the driver's seat, two taps to approve, minutes a day. Stop losing the $8k plantation install to the Luxaflex rep who showed up first.

Frequently asked.

We do residential roller blinds and plantation shutters, but the strata-block contracts pay the year. Can the agents handle all three?
Yes, and they'll do better because each one gets its own hub page, its own ads, and its own social cadence rather than fighting for room on one generic 'blinds' page. Onboarding asks which work pays the bills; Account Lead briefs the other agents accordingly. Residential gets the suburb-page library and the measure-and-quote-in-home Google Ads, plantation shutters get a higher-CPC ad set in the design-conscious suburbs, and the strata work gets a separate B2B hub aimed at strata managers with the fire-rated-blind capability, the supplier indemnity certificate, and a 'forty units in a fortnight' install-capacity callout.
Will the captions sound like AI?
They will sound like you, because the Social Media Agent learns from your existing posts during onboarding and you approve every draft before it ships. You upload one photo per finished install (the plantation shutter louvres open, the motorised roller in action, the strata-block facade with the matching blinds), the agent drafts the caption from what's in the photo (the suburb, the product, the fabric or material, the price comparison against the franchise), you approve in two taps. Voice updates with every correction.
Can it actually get me onto strata management companies' preferred-installer lists?
Sam drafts the outreach, you press send. The pitch works because strata managers are constantly chasing reliable installers who can do forty units in a fortnight without three callbacks, carry current supplier indemnity insurance, and supply fire-rated product for the corridor windows. A tidy Google Business Profile, a portfolio of recent strata-block installs, a B2B hub page with the insurance certificate and the fire rating spec is what gets you on the preferred-installer list. In-House builds the first three so Sam's intro lands warm.
We've tried Google Ads on 'blinds Sydney' before and got nothing but $200 single-window enquiries.
That's because 'blinds Sydney' bids you against every installer in the city for queries that mostly aren't ready to commit to a measure-and-quote. The Advertising Agent runs separate ad groups per product per suburb, with the plantation-shutter ad set targeting 'plantation shutters [suburb]' at a higher bid (because the per-window margin is worth it), the motorised ad set targeting 'motorised blinds [suburb]' with a Somfy upsell hook, and the manual-roller ad set at a lower bid. CPC is calibrated to the per-job margin, and the single-window enquiries self-select out.
I'm on measure-and-quotes four days a week and installs the other two. How does the approve-the-week bit work?
Two taps on your phone, usually in the ute between measure-and-quotes or at smoko. You see what the agents drafted (a suburb page, four social posts, two ad changes), tap approve or tweak, done. The whole week's queue takes about ten minutes. Anything urgent (an ad pause, a bad review, a strata-manager enquiry) sends a notification.
Can I cancel if it isn't working?
Two taps, any time, no exit fees and no notice period. You keep your imported site, your suburb pages, the Google Business Profile work, the strata B2B hub and the social grid. There is no $3.5k-a-month agency lock-in and no six-month minimum.
