// HIPAGES REPLACEMENT KIT
Cancel hipages and own every lead you get
The hipages replacement kit is a done-for-you setup that lets an Australian tradie cancel hipages and keep the phone ringing: a tidied Google Business Profile and a landing page for your trade and suburbs, from $1,500 + GST. It works the same for ServiceSeeking members and tradies left stranded by Oneflare.
Updated September 2026
// WHY OWN IT
A lead site can change the price, or close
On hipages, each lead goes to up to 3 businesses and credits are spent when you accept it, win or lose. Oneflare showed the other risk: it closed on 30 June 2026, now redirects to Airtasker, and the profiles tradies had built there stopped bringing in work.
The kit builds the lead source you keep. Still comparing options? The hipages alternatives map covers the other marketplaces, and the hipages cost calculator shows what a booked job costs you now.
// THE KIT
What the hipages replacement kit includes
Three parts in the base kit, from $1,500 + GST. You own all of it.
Google Business Profile tidy
Categories, services, service area, hours, photos and business details checked and fixed, plus a review link you can text to every customer. The profile is the free listing that shows in the map pack, and you keep every review on it.
A landing page for your trade and suburbs
One fast page, written for the jobs you want and the suburbs you cover, with your number tap-to-call and a short enquiry form. It is the page your Google profile and any ads point at, and it sits on a domain you own.
Enquiries straight to you
Calls ring your phone and form enquiries land in your inbox. Nobody else is sent the same lead, and there are no credits spent to open it.
Add when you want more calls
Priced the same as our standalone services and added to the same fixed quote.
Call tracking
A tracked number on the page and profile, so you can see which calls came from Google and which came from word of mouth. $150 + GST a month.
Missed call text back
When you are on the tools and a call rings out, the caller gets a text from your number within seconds. Setup from $1,800 + GST.
Google Search Ads
For when you want the phone busier than the free listing makes it. Management is $650 + GST a month, and your ad spend goes straight to Google.
Google Local Services Ads, the Google Guaranteed format, is not available in Australia, so it is not in the kit. The details are in Google Guaranteed in Australia.
// HOW IT RUNS
From first call to cancelling hipages in four steps
Short call
Your trade, your suburbs, the jobs you want more of, and what you spend on hipages or ServiceSeeking now. You get one fixed quote.
You send the details
The short list in the next section. Most of it is already in your head or your phone.
We build it
Profile tidied and the page written and built. The page is usually live within days once we have your details, on a date we agree up front.
Run both, then cancel
Keep hipages going while the new setup starts booking work, then let the membership lapse at your renewal date.
// BEFORE YOU CANCEL
Four checks before you cancel hipages
Contract terms from hipages' own membership page, as at August 2026. The full breakdown is on is hipages worth it.
Find your renewal date
Hipages memberships start on a 6-month introductory term, then auto-renew on 12-month terms. Your agreement shows which term you are in and when it ends. Build the replacement before that date, not after.
Check the cooling-off window
Hipages allows a 7-day cooling-off period at signup, provided you have not accepted a lead. If you signed up this week and have not accepted one, that is the simplest exit.
Use the pause if the timing is wrong
You can pause for 14 to 31 days on the introductory term, or up to 62 days across a 12-month term. That can cover a quiet stretch while the new setup spins up.
Ask hipages in writing
Ask hipages support in writing to confirm your end date and what happens to any unused credits, and keep the reply. Your own agreement is the final word on the terms you signed.
On ServiceSeeking instead? Its membership is a flat monthly fee; our ServiceSeeking review covers the plans.
// FIT
What you provide, and who should not buy this
What we need from you
- Access to your Google Business Profile, or the email that owns it.
- The services you quote for and the suburbs you actually want to drive to.
- Photos of your own work, from your phone is fine.
- Your licence number and ABN, if your trade needs them shown.
- A domain, or we help you register one in your business name.
- The date your hipages or ServiceSeeking membership renews.
Skip the kit if
- You need enquiries this week and cannot wait a few months for Google to pick up the profile. A marketplace fills that gap faster; keep it running.
- You will not answer the phone or reply within the day. Owned leads still go cold if nobody picks them up.
- You have no way to collect Google reviews from past customers. The profile leans on them.
- You already have a website and profile that bring in work, and only want more volume. You want Google Ads, not this kit.
// PRICING
From $1,500 + GST, paid once, yours to keep
from $1,500 + GST
- One fixed quote before any work starts
- No lead fees, no credits, no lock-in
- You own the page, domain and profile
Add-ons are quoted in the same fixed price. Ad spend is paid to Google directly.
The hipages replacement kit starts from $1,500 + GST for the profile tidy and one landing page. The price moves up only if you add call tracking, missed call text back or Google Ads, or need more than one page, and you see that number before we start.
Want the whole thing run for you every month, ads and follow-up included? That is our Lead System.
// QUESTIONS
Cancelling hipages: straight answers
Not sure the kit fits your trade? Ask us and we'll tell you, even if the answer is to keep hipages for now.
Get in touchHow do I cancel hipages?
Check your agreement for the term you are on, then ask hipages support in writing for your end date and what happens to unused credits. Memberships start on a 6-month introductory term and auto-renew on 12-month terms, so the renewal date is the one to plan around.
What is in the hipages replacement kit?
A Google Business Profile tidy and one landing page for your trade and suburbs, with calls and enquiries going straight to you. It starts from $1,500 + GST. Call tracking, missed call text back and Google Search Ads can be added in the same fixed quote.
Will I get leads as soon as I cancel hipages?
Not straight away, which is why we suggest running both. The landing page is usually live within days, but a Google Business Profile takes months of reviews and activity to pull its weight. Google Search Ads are the fast lever if you need calls sooner.
Can you set up Google Local Services Ads for me?
No, and nobody in Australia can yet. Google runs Local Services Ads, the Google Guaranteed format, in eleven countries and Australia is not one of them. We set up normal Google Search Ads instead.
I was on Oneflare. Does this work for me?
Yes. Oneflare closed on 30 June 2026 and now redirects to Airtasker, so the profile you built there no longer brings in work. The kit builds the same kind of lead source on a profile and domain you own, so it cannot be switched off on you.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. The kit is one fixed price, paid once, and you own the page, the domain and the profile. Call tracking and Google Ads management are monthly and can be stopped any time.
