WHAT IS

Over a decade ago our founder and CEO Jacob Banks, started his career in marketing at Yellow Pages, Australia’s largest print directory. As Yellow Pages was still pushing the printed book, Jacob felt that his customers were not going to get a return on their investment. Obviously, this didn’t sit well with him, so after 10 short months, he left to start his own online venture Service.com.au, a wildly successful national platform that connects Australians to local verified trades and service providers.

Over the last 8 years Service.com.au and its team have built and acquired seamless technology that attracts a massive 100,00 visitors per month, helps over 35,000 trades and services businesses grow their revenue and profits while pushing nearly 1 MILLION job notifications to their partner network every single month!

As the founder and in his role as director of Sales & Marketing at Service.com.au, Jacob spoke to thousands of business owners and noticed an alarmingly common trend while chatting about their businesses. Almost 65% of the businesses that he spoke to did not have an adequate online presence or CRM and just under half had next to no online presence at all. Many business owners had tried things in the past and had been burnt by dodgy digital marketing companies promising the world and under-delivering This was a problem. The year is 2021 and as Bill Gates famously said “If your business is not on the internet, then your business will be out of business”.

As I am sure we can all agree, the internet is here to stay and is only getting bigger, so with this in mind, Jacob set out to build a results-driven growth agency to deliver digital services to clients that actually moved the needle, scaled businesses and exploded revenues and profits. Not just say they would!

Floodgate is a results-driven digital growth agency that only focuses on return on investment, helping flood businesses with leads and sales, dominate their competition and pump their profits!
