Surveyor, planner, builder, architect, designer, engineer, conveyancer or agent — ZoneDSS reaches property owners while they research what they can build, not weeks later when they're shopping around. Claim your listing free and you're shown as a local pro inside the property reports they're already reading.
Free to list and be found. No subscription. Verify in minutes with a work email.
ZoneDSS shows the 10 closest pros in your category for each suburb — and the directory is almost entirely unclaimed today. Claim and verify early and you become a Founding Local: a permanent badge, plus gift reports and lead unlocks that stay free for you even after pricing is introduced. Claim before your competitors do.
Most directories capture someone already searching for a tradie. ZoneDSS captures property owners while they're researching their property — earlier, and tied to the actual project.
You're surfaced next to the real property and planning activity — matched to what the owner is reading: design & build pros on "what you can build", planning & survey on zoning, and so on.
We monetise amplification, not access. Claiming, your verified profile, directory presence and appearing in reports are all free — you pay only if you choose to stand out.
The property owners are on ZoneDSS for the core product — checking zoning, planning controls and development potential. Your listing meets them in that flow.
These are the numbers in the data today — the addressable opportunity, not a promise of results.

Directory listings are sourced from public business data and are mostly unclaimed — they aren't active customers. Development-activity figures describe demand in the planning record (NSW averages ~55,800 DAs/year), not guaranteed enquiries. For thin categories the field is wider still: surveyors have ~99 listings across all three states and town planners have none.
Claim your listing, verify by work email or domain, and earn a Verified badge. Add your logo, about, services, service areas, portfolio and before-and-after projects, your own customer testimonials, licence/ABN, hours and a booking link.
A claimed business appears as a "local pro nearby" inside the free ZoneDSS reports run on properties within 5 km — matched to the section the owner is reading and shown closest-first.
When an owner enquires you get the full preview free — service, suburb, message, property context. Unlock the contact details with credits when a lead's worth pursuing; your first few are on us, Founding Locals are free, and junk leads are refunded.
A searchable directory with typo-tolerant search, ~50 categories, suburb and "near this property" filtering, plus a "most saved" leaderboard. Owners can save you to a shortlist — a private, free vote of confidence shown as a "♥ saved" count.

Credits are a closed-loop balance for marketing on ZoneDSS — not cash, not transferable, no withdrawable value. Spend rates can change; figures shown are current. Featured placement and lead unlocks are visibility and connection tools — they don't guarantee enquiries or outcomes.
Yes. Claiming your listing, getting a verified profile, appearing in the directory, and being shown as a local pro inside ZoneDSS property reports are all free. Credits are optional — you only spend them if you choose to amplify (feature your listing) or unlock extra lead contacts.
When a property owner enquires, you are notified and see a full free preview: the service they want, the suburb, their message and the property context. The customer’s contact details are masked until you choose to unlock them with credits — your first few unlocks are on us, and Founding Locals unlock free. If a lead turns out to be junk, the credit is refunded.
ZoneDSS only shows the 10 nearest pros in your category per suburb, and the directory is almost entirely unclaimed today. The first businesses to claim and verify in a suburb earn a permanent "Founding Local" badge and keep gift reports and lead unlocks free even after pricing is introduced. It is the genuine early-mover reward.
Yes — you create a free ZoneDSS account, then verify ownership by a work email at your business domain (or a one-time code). It takes a few minutes, and there are no anonymous listings.
New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria are live (plus New York City in the US). Western Australia, South Australia, the ACT, Tasmania and the Northern Territory are on the roadmap.
You build your profile with your own collected customer testimonials, portfolio and before-and-after projects — content you own and control, not scraped third-party reviews.
Free to list and be found. Become a Founding Local while the slots are open.
