Fair questions, straight answers
Everything we get asked about Quickbell, the free pilot and your data. If your question isn't here, ask us. A real person reads every message.
The basics
What does Quickbell actually do?
When someone fills in the enquiry form on your website, Quickbell sends them a friendly email reply from your business within about a minute. It asks a couple of questions (what the job is, where, how urgent) and includes your booking link. You get a short summary of each enquiry with the full conversation underneath.
Who is it for?
Small trade businesses that get enquiries through a website form and are too busy on the tools to reply straight away. We're starting with plumbers and electricians in Sydney. Other trades, like air conditioning, landscaping and cleaning, are a good fit too. See industries.
Does it handle phone calls, texts or Facebook messages?
Not yet. Today Quickbell handles enquiries from your website form, by email. Text messages (SMS), missed calls and Facebook or Instagram messages are coming later. We'll say so on this site when they're ready, not before.
Will my customers know it's an automatic reply?
Yes. The first reply says it's a quick automatic reply from your business, so nobody feels tricked. You read and approve the wording before it goes live.
Will it quote prices or give advice?
No. It never quotes prices, promises times you haven't offered, or gives technical or safety advice. It gathers the basics and points people to your booking link, or to your emergency number for anything urgent.
Setting it up
Do I need to change my website?
Usually not much. We help connect your existing website form during setup. If your site doesn't have a form, get in touch and we'll talk it through honestly.
What do I need to get started?
Your business name, the suburbs you cover, the jobs you do and don't take, a booking link (or calendar link), an emergency number if you take urgent work, and the email address where summaries should go. We go through it together in plain English.
What if I don't have an online booking link?
Tell us during setup. The reply can say when you'll call them back instead. A booking link usually works better because the customer can lock in a time straight away, so we can talk through simple options.
Can I change the wording later?
Yes. You approve the wording before it goes live, and you can ask us to change it any time.
Can I still reply to customers myself?
Of course. Quickbell only sends the first friendly reply and the questions. You get a copy of every conversation, and you can jump in whenever you like.
The pilot and pricing
Do I need a card to start the pilot?
No. The pilot is free for 30 days and we don't ask for payment details to start it.
What happens after the 30 days?
We check in with you before the pilot ends. If you want to keep going, it's A$149/month flat (pilot pricing). If you don't, we switch it off. No bill out of nowhere.
Is it really a flat price?
That's the plan: one monthly price, not a fee per enquiry. It's pilot pricing, so it may change as we learn what it costs to run. If it ever does, we'll tell you before it affects you.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No lock-in is intended: month to month, cancel any time. We'll confirm the pilot terms with you in writing before you start. See the intended pilot terms.
I'm not in Sydney. Can I still try it?
We're starting with Sydney so we can do it properly. If you're elsewhere in Australia, drop us a line anyway.
Your customers and your data
What happens to my customers' details?
We only use them to run the service for you. We don't sell them or share them for marketing. Read our privacy note (currently a draft).
Will Quickbell ever message people who haven't contacted me?
No. It only replies to people who have sent you an enquiry. No cold emails, no spam.
Does this website track me?
No. This site uses no cookies, no analytics and no tracking. The free audit works out its estimate in your browser and sends nothing unless you tick the consent box and ask to join the pilot.

After the pilot: A$149/month flat (pilot pricing, may change; we'll always tell you first). No lock-in contract intended.
