AI receptionist for arborists in Mackay.
For tree services in Mackay, the difference between a booming week and a missed opportunity often comes down to who answers the phone first. When cyclonic weather hits Queensland, fallen trees and urgent requests swamp lines, turning call handling into a race against competitors. Your crew might be out on a job in Glenella, up a tree in Andergrove, or managing permits in Sarina, but new work doesn't wait. Missing just one post-storm call for a significant tree removal could mean losing out on thousands of dollars of follow-on work and client goodwill. Katie ensures you're always open for business.
The local problem
Why Mackay arborists are bleeding leads.
Mackay’s unique blend of mining and sugar industries means your clients keep unusual hours, often calling before dawn or late at night. Whether it's a request from Slade Point, a large commercial job near the port, or a residential query from South Mackay, these off-peak calls are golden opportunities your competitors likely miss. Post-storm demand can compress months of work into days, with late winter pruning and council compliance windows also generating spikes. Katie is designed to capture every lead, regardless of when it comes in.
How Katie handles it

It’s 3 AM in Mackay, a fierce storm has just ripped through. Your phone rings. You’re fast asleep, but Katie answers, records the urgent tree-down details from a client in Beaconsfield, and secures the emergency booking. By morning, while competitors are still playing catch-up, you’ve already got the client’s details, council requirements for TPZ identified, and an essential job lined up. The next day, that same client books a full yard tidy-up. Missed call, missed thousands.
