What gets in the way

  • Outside work needs dry, mild weather, so the diary swings between flat out and empty.

  • Customers want three written quotes, and your evenings go on quotes nobody answers.

  • Lead sites charge you per enquiry for customers who could have found your own site.

How it works

Your website, marketing and receptionist, in one.

  1. 01 · Website

    A new website, built and live in 48 hours

    Julio reads your old site, Google profile and reviews, then builds a site with the rooms you’ve finished, what your quote covers, and interior and exterior pages. Text a change, like “we have exterior slots in June”, and it’s done.

  2. 02 · Marketing

    Found on Google, AI search and Instagram

    Every week Julio writes a page for what people search before redecorating, like “what should a decorating quote include?”, keeps your Google profile fresh and turns finished frontages into posts. You tap to approve each one.

    How people look for you

    • “painter and decorator near me”
    • “exterior house painting [town]”

    Every call and enquiry answered

    When someone calls or messages, Julio replies in seconds as your business, asks which rooms need doing and for a photo of each, and books a quote visit. You’re sent a text with who it was and which rooms they want painting.

    Replies to every enquiry: on Julio. Calls, messages and bookings: on Julio + Receptionist.

    JulioExample

    How much to paint a living room and hallway?

    JulioChris prices after a quick look or some photos. Could you send one of each room, and say if the ceilings need doing? He’s free Thursday evening.

    Got Chris’s quote. When could he start?

    JulioChris has a gap from 3 March. Reply YES and I’ll book you in, or tell me a week that suits you better.

Questions

Questions painters and decorators ask

Can I show my Dulux Select status?

Yes, if you’re a current member. Dulux backs members’ work on its own terms, so Julio describes that cover exactly as Dulux sets it out.

Will Julio chase quotes I’ve sent?

Yes. It sends a polite follow-up and tells you who replied.

Can I put prices on my site?

Yes, if you want to. Prices to homeowners must include VAT.

Can I push exterior work only when the weather’s right?

Yes. Text Julio and it changes what’s at the top of your site and what goes on Instagram.

Will I get more customers?

We can’t promise that. Julio’s weekly text shows every enquiry, which page it came from and which quotes it followed up.

The rules Julio follows for painters and decorators

  • Dulux Select, PDA and other logos only while you’re a current member
  • Any warranty is described with its real terms, never as blanket cover (ASA)
  • Prices include VAT, and before-and-after photos are your own work

Get a better website. Then win more customers.
