Question 1

Is the first Pool Scout report really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One free report per business, using the same process and producing the same PDF as a paid report.

Question 2

Why does route density matter for a pool service business?

Accepted Answer

The drive between pools is unpaid. Two pools on the same street earn the same as two pools twenty minutes apart, but one of those days finishes hours earlier. Growing around the customers you already have is the cheapest growth available to a pool business.

Question 3

How large an area can one Pool Scout report cover?

Accepted Answer

A parcel of blocks worked outwards from the address you supply. Each run requires significant computing time plus a human check, so whole suburbs and whole states are not possible in a single report. Larger areas can be ordered as multiple parcels.

Question 4

How accurate are Pool Scout reports?

Accepted Answer

Good, but not infallible. The service relies on open-source information, so pools can be missed or misread. A person spot-checks every report before it is sent, and anything uncertain is flagged rather than quietly included.

Question 5

Where does Pool Scout's data come from?

Accepted Answer

Open-source internet information is matched against a public street dataset. Pool Scout does not buy marketing lists.

Question 6

Do Pool Scout reports include occupant names or contact details?

Accepted Answer

No. Reports contain street addresses where a pool has been identified. There are no occupant names, phone numbers or household details, which is what keeps the service within the Privacy Act.

Question 7

How do I pay for reports after the free one?

Accepted Answer

Submit the request form and Pool Scout emails an invoice. Once payment clears the PDF is sent, usually within 1-2 business days of the request.

Question 8

Which areas of Australia does Pool Scout cover?

Accepted Answer

Coverage extends across the Australian continent. If there is an issue with a requested area, Pool Scout advises before running the report.

Question 9

Is my search area exclusive to me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any area you search is locked to you for six months. The boundary is confirmed in writing and Pool Scout will not scout that area for another operator during that period.
