About Child Care Demand

Better evidence.
Clearer next steps.

Child Care Demand is Australian childcare software that helps operators, developers and acquirers research locations and improve how families find their centres.

One product. Two jobs.

What Child Care Demand does

01

Research your next location

The person behind the product

Built with an operator’s perspective.

Child Care Demand was founded and is operated by Luke Girgis, who is responsible for the product, published methodology and correction process.

Luke is a Sydney-based operator and founder who also co-owns an early learning centre. His background includes founding The Brag Media and running businesses across media and e-commerce.

The product brings together two practical questions: what supports a decision about a new site, and how can families find the centres already open?

The difference is in the detail

What makes Child Care Demand different

01

Research and visibility together

Assess a new location, then track how families find the centres you already operate. Both are included in one subscription.

02

Unlimited site reports

Research multiple addresses and share reports with your team. You are not limited to ten detailed reports per month, as on Qikmaps Pro.

03

Evidence you can investigate

Follow source links, check dates and see coverage limits. When a planning record does not establish capacity, it stays unknown.

04

Practical next steps for each centre

Review Google and AI visibility alongside website and listing checks, local competitors and a prioritised improvement plan.

05

Choose how you pay

Pay $1,200 annually per seat, equivalent to $100 a month, or $350 per seat on monthly billing. Choose the commitment that suits your business.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Child Care Demand for?

Australian childcare operators managing existing centres, developers assessing sites, and acquirers researching locations and portfolios.

What does the subscription include?

Unlimited site reports and addresses, plus visibility reports and improvement plans for three portfolio centres per workspace. Additional portfolio centres cost $110 each per year.

What do Google and AI checks tell me?

They show how a centre appears in sampled Google and AI results, which competitors appear, and what to improve. Results depend on location, query, platform and when the check runs. They are not guaranteed rankings or enrolments.

Is there a free trial?

There is no subscription trial. You can run a free SEO and AI audit for a centre before choosing a paid plan.

Does a report prove a site is viable?

No. Reports support your research with local evidence and modelled estimates. Review coverage, sources and assumptions, and investigate the site before making an investment decision.

How do I get support or correct a source?

Email support@childcaredemand.com with your question, report or source link. The published methodology, coverage notes and data-governance page explain how the evidence is handled.
