Hipages lead filtering without handing over control

Hipages lead filtering should not mean a bot accepts jobs for you. That would create risk and take control away from the tradie.

The safer V1 approach is narrower: review the job leads and lead notifications a customer receives, apply business-specific rules, and surface jobs that look worth checking.

How to filter hipages leads

Filter hipages leads by turning the work your business wants into clear review rules. The rules should prioritise suitable jobs, while every accept, credit, quote and customer-contact decision stays with the tradie.

How do I filter hipages leads and reduce lead noise?

Tradies can reduce hipages lead noise by applying review rules for trade type, service area, excluded suburbs, preferred job size, keywords and urgency. These rules should prioritise what to review; they should not accept jobs, spend credits, send quotes or contact homeowners automatically.

1. Define the trade types and job categories you want.
2. Set the service area and any suburbs to exclude.
3. Prioritise preferred job sizes, keywords and urgency signals.
4. Review the prioritised leads yourself before accepting or quoting.

What can be filtered

Useful filtering rules can include trade type, service area, suburbs to include or avoid, job size preference, job keywords, urgency, and work that the business does not want.

Different trades care about different signals. A bathroom renovation specialist, a glazier, a roofer, and a handyman will not all use the same rules.

What should not happen automatically

The service should not automatically accept jobs, spend credits, contact homeowners, or promise more revenue. A tradie still needs to make the final call.

This matters because hipages leads can be time-sensitive and competitive, but they are still business decisions.

Filtering by trade and service area

The most basic filtering starts with trade type and service area. A plumber in Parramatta does not need to see electrical jobs in Wollongong. A roofer in Brisbane does not need tiling leads from the Gold Coast.

These rules are simple but powerful. They remove the most obvious noise before the tradie even sees the alert.

Filtering by job type and size

Beyond trade and area, filtering can look at job type keywords. Renovation, installation, repair, and emergency work all have different value and time requirements. Job size preference helps tradies avoid small jobs that do not fit their business model.

These filters are customisable per tradie. The rules should come from the business owner's actual preferences, not generic defaults.
