  • 56 min
  • 4 modules

Property managers and homeowners often let you into a home while nobody is there, so they judge you on your ute, your shirt, your job card and your texts before you arrive. From your answers and a few job photos, AI drafts a logo, colours and a way of writing to use across all of them.

Social Media for Plumbers Using AI

  • 56 min
  • 4 modules

Photos of tree roots cut out of a sewer pipe, or an old hot water tank next to its replacement, show your work clearly. Homeowners and landlords comment and send messages, often after hours. AI writes your bio, your captions and your replies to messages, and nothing is posted until you approve it.

Meta Ads for Plumbers Using AI

  • 59 min
  • 4 modules

Old hot water tanks tend to fail when the weather turns cold, so autumn suits hot water ads on Facebook and Instagram, and wet months suit blocked drain ads.

Creative Content for Plumbers Using AI

  • 57 min
  • 4 modules

Some plumbing jobs make good short videos, like a water meter still turning with every tap off, or a drain camera finding roots at a cracked joint.

Build a Plumbing Proposal with AI

  • 58 min
  • 4 modules

Landlords and homeowners often compare several quotes for a new hot water system. From your rates and site notes, AI drafts a proposal that explains the problem, names the unit by brand, model and size, lists what is and isn't included, and sets out the options side by side.

Questions plumbers ask

Does Tradie School teach plumbing work or licensing?

No. The courses cover the business: your brand, website, Google profile, ads, offer and proposals. Your plumbing licence, any gas licence you hold, your state's rules and how you do the work are matters for you and the regulators in your state. The courses only show where your licence number belongs, such as your quotes, website and Google profile.

A lot of my work comes through property managers. Why build my own name?

Agency work depends on the property manager who books you, and property managers change jobs. Owners see your name on invoices, and a tenant who later buys a home may remember who fixed their hot water. A Google profile and website with recent reviews let them find you directly. The courses cover both, and Smoko drafts them for your approval.

I work alone out of one ute. Is there time for this?

Yes. Lessons are short written reads you can do on your phone between jobs. The last module of every course is Smoko building that part with you: he asks the questions, you answer and send job photos, and you check each draft. Nothing goes live, gets posted or spends money until you approve it.

Can AI write my hot water and bathroom quotes?

It can draft them. You give Smoko your price list, supplier details and site notes, and he builds a template with options, a scope naming units and fittings, and your payment terms. You check the numbers and scope on every job before it goes out, because you saw the site and Smoko didn't.
