The embeddable widget
Turn website visitors into qualified leads
The widget lives on your website under your brand. Visitors check if they need council approval right there — and every completed check becomes a lead in your dashboard. No other tradie tool does this.
Why it works for engagement & conversions
Qualified leads on autopilot
Every visitor who uses the tool on your site has already shown intent — they're checking approval for a project. That's a warm lead, not a cold enquiry.
Straight to your dashboard
Name, email, phone, and project details land in your ApprovalPath dashboard the moment they complete a check. No forms to chase, no lost enquiries.
Higher conversion rates
Customers get instant clarity instead of bouncing to Google or calling council. They stay on your site, trust your expertise, and are more likely to book you.
Track what works
JavaScript event hooks let you connect the widget to Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or your CRM. See exactly how many leads the tool generates.
Three ways to add it to your site
Popup button
A single button on your site opens the full check in a modal. One line of code. Works on any page.
Inline embed
Drop the entire check flow directly into a page — perfect for a dedicated 'Council approval checker' section.
Direct link
Use a branded link on socials, quotes, or emails. No code required — just share the URL.
Works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, and any site where you can add a script tag. Your logo, your colours, your business name.
FAQ
Got questions? We've got answers.
You enter your customer's property address, draw where the project will go on the satellite map, and answer a few plain-English questions. Our AI evaluates the project against the planning rules for that state and generates a professional lodgement preparation report — including the approval pathway, a draft supporting statement, document checklist, and step-by-step action plan. The whole process takes under 2 minutes.
No. ApprovalPath provides planning guidance based on publicly available planning rules and real Australian government spatial data. It is not a substitute for formal legal or planning advice. We always recommend confirming with your local council's planning department or a qualified professional before lodging any application.
We pull the actual zoning, heritage, bushfire, and flood data directly from Australian government spatial databases — the same data councils see. Our AI then evaluates the project against current planning policies for the relevant state. Each report includes a confidence score so you and your customer can gauge reliability. For complex or borderline cases, we'll recommend getting professional advice.
Yes! Every plan includes branded PDF exports. Upload your logo and business name, and your reports will look professional and client-ready — perfect for quoting and customer presentations. It's a great way to stand out from competitors.
Every report gets a unique shareable link you can send to your customer via text, email, or however you normally communicate. They can view the full report online without needing an account. You can also download a branded PDF to attach to quotes or emails.
The lodgement preparation report includes: a draft Statement of Environmental Effects (for DAs) or Statement of Compliance (for CDCs) pre-filled with project details; a complete document checklist showing where to get each document; a step-by-step action plan with who to contact, how to find them, useful links, and practical tips; key planning controls for the zone; and a risk summary.
We cover all Australian states and territories. Our system detects the state, council, zoning, and overlays (heritage, bushfire, flood) based on the address entered, using official Australian government spatial databases. Coverage is comprehensive across all states and territories.
Yes — the Business plan includes team member access. Add your team and they can create guides under your account, using your branding. All reports are tracked in your dashboard so you can see every guide across your business.
ChatGPT gives generic answers that aren't address-specific. ApprovalPath pulls actual zoning and overlays from Australian government spatial databases, lets you draw on the property to mark the project location, and generates a structured lodgement pack with a draft supporting statement, document checklist, and action plan. It's a specialised tool built for tradies, not a general chatbot.
Absolutely. There are no lock-in contracts. You can cancel your subscription anytime from your dashboard. You'll retain access until the end of your billing period.
When a visitor completes a council approval check on your site, they enter their contact details as part of the flow. That information — name, email, phone, and project details — is automatically sent to your ApprovalPath dashboard. You get a qualified lead without chasing forms or making follow-up calls. Every completed check is a potential customer.
Yes. You can set your business name, upload your logo, and choose your brand colour. The widget button and the check flow both use your branding so visitors see your business, not ours. The embed snippet supports custom button text and colours — you control how it looks on your site.
Give your customers clarity. Win more work.
Stop losing time on council approvals. Start handing customers professional lodgement packs that set you apart from every other tradie.
