Veblen completely transformed our lead flow. We went from chasing cold enquiries to having jobs booked automatically before a competitor even sees the notification. The AI follow-up alone has paid for itself ten times over.

600 leads a month at under $32 CPL. The team built out our entire CRM, automated follow-up sequences, and the ads keep getting sharper. NT Trailers has never had a pipeline this full. These guys deliver.

Missed call text-back was live within days of onboarding and we started converting jobs we used to lose. The team is responsive, proactive and actually understands the trades. Worth every dollar.

We started with Veblen from basically zero online presence. Within months they had Google Ads running, automations built out, and missed calls converting to booked jobs. We went from $0 to $50k a month in revenue — the system they built is genuinely incredible.

Zac was extremely professional and made the whole video process easy, even though I was new to it. He explained everything clearly, made me feel comfortable, and the final product was absolutely incredible.

We worked with Veblen on a short video project for our farm and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Zac was incredibly talented and professional throughout. The final video captured everything we hoped for and more.

Number 1 marketing company. The photos and videos that are produced are another level — genuinely the best creative output I've seen from any agency. Veblen are in a class of their own.

We use Veblen right across our Group of companies for all things marketing. I was initially so impressed with Zac and the team — their strategic thinking and quality of execution is unlike any other agency we've worked with.

I spoke with Veblen 12 months ago and they worked out a plan to grow my business through social media. Not only have they delivered on everything they promised, they've exceeded every single expectation. The Timber Gang is booming.

Probably one of the best media companies I've worked with. The Veblen team came in, understood our company and brand, and produced content that truly represents who we are. An absolute pleasure to work with across multiple ventures.

The Problem

Most agencies sell you activity.
We build infrastructure.

You've probably been burned. Monthly retainer, a deck of metrics you can't act on, no real accountability for whether the phone rings. That's not what we do.

Veblen builds the system — the ads, the content, the CRM automation, the AI follow-up — so your business compounds instead of just costing money every month.

  • 📉
    Paying for reports, not results Your last agency sent dashboards full of impressions and reach. Your phone didn't ring any more than before.
  • 🔁
    Lead follow-up falling through the cracks You're getting enquiries but they go cold before anyone follows up. Leads that cost $40+ are being wasted.
  • 🎯
    No real strategy — just execution Posts going out, ads running, but no system connecting them to actual booked jobs. Activity without architecture.
  • 💸
    Ad spend without accountability $3k–$10k/month in ad spend with no clear attribution to revenue. You don't know what's working.
Proven Results

Real clients.
Real numbers.

We don't use anonymous case studies. If we can't stand behind the numbers with a client name, they're not on this page.

Electrical & Air Conditioning

LCMB Group — From inconsistent pipeline to 100 high-ticket leads every month

LCMB Group needed a consistent flow of qualified air conditioning installation leads in a competitive Gold Coast market. We built a Meta Ads system with a GuardRails qualification form to filter out low-intent submissions — so every lead that came through was worth calling.

100+
Qualified leads/month
$10–$15
Cost per lead

High-ticket aircon installs. Every lead that comes through is pre-qualified and followed up automatically before a competitor even sees the enquiry.

Trailer Manufacturing & Sales

NT Trailers — 600 leads a month at $32 CPL

NT Trailers needed volume without sacrificing lead quality across multiple product lines — from the flagship Apex ($39,995) down to trade combo units. We built a Meta Ads structure with automated SMS follow-up that gets the conversation started before the lead even hits the CRM.

600

$13k/month ad spend generating 600 enquiries. Automated CRM sequences mean no lead goes cold — the system works while the sales team sleeps.

How It Works

From first call to compounding growth.

We run a structured onboarding process. No wasted time, no guessing — just a proven system from day one.

01

Qualify

We have a short discovery call to confirm your business is the right fit. $1M+ revenue, genuine growth ambition, and an open mind about systems over hustle.

02

Audit & Strategy

Full audit of your current marketing, ads, CRM, and competitors. We come to the strategy session with a plan, not a pitch.

03

Build

We build the infrastructure — CRM, automations, ad campaigns, content production. First 30 days is build; from day 31 it's live.

04

Scale

Monthly optimisation, new content, and strategic iteration. The system improves every month — your business compounds.

Transparent Pricing

Priced on outcomes.
Not hours.

All packages require a 3-month minimum. Real results take longer than 30 days — that's not a clause, it's a commitment to doing the job properly.

Straight answers.

Why the 3-month minimum? +
Month one is build — ads live, CRM set up, automations running, content produced. Month two is optimise — we know what's converting and we double down. Month three is scale — the system is working and we're compounding. Anyone promising results in 30 days is selling you something.
Do I need to be on the Gold Coast? +
For ads management, CRM, and content strategy — no. For on-site video shoots (Growth System and above) — yes, we operate within 35km of the Gold Coast. If you're outside that, we can discuss remote production options.
What industries do you work with? +
Trades and service businesses — electrical, air conditioning, plumbing, painting, trailer/equipment, tinting, and construction. We don't work with e-commerce, hospitality, or retail. We're vertical specialists, not generalists.
What's the minimum revenue to work with you? +
$1M+ annual revenue. Not because we want to be exclusive for the sake of it — but because the system we build requires a business with established operations and capacity to handle growth. We're not a lead generator for startups.
How does the AI follow-up work? +
Every lead that comes through your ads or forms triggers an automated sequence in your GHL CRM — SMS, email, and voicemail drop — within 60 seconds. Before a competitor has seen the notification, your business has already started the conversation. We build and manage the entire automation.
Do you manage the ad spend? +
We manage the strategy, campaigns, creative, and optimisation. The ad spend itself goes directly from your account to the platform (Meta or Google) — you're never paying us to hold your budget. Full transparency on where every dollar goes.
