How our service works for tradespeople<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Homeowners post jobs on our site when they\u2019re looking to get work done. We get 1,000,000 posts every year<\/strong> because of the marketing we do for tradespeople.<\/p>\n

These posts are called job leads<\/strong>, which are an opportunity for you to meet potential new customers and give them a quote and win work.<\/p>\n

Sign up to one of our plans<\/strong><\/a> to get access to all these leads. The leads you see are based on your trade and the area you want to work in, so you\u2019ll only see relevant opportunities.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a monthly fee, and there\u2019s a small cost for each lead.<\/p>\n

Every month we give you money back in credit, which you can use to spend on leads.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you buy a lead, you get contact details immediately so you can introduce yourself, make a good impression, and give the homeowner a quote.<\/p>\n

If they decide to hire you, then you arrange to complete the work.<\/p>\n

Once it\u2019s all done and the homeowner is happy, they\u2019ll leave you a review. These reviews appear on your profile page for everyone to see, which reassures other homeowners who are thinking about hiring you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Think of us as your marketing team<\/h2>\n

Tradespeople used to rely on directories, where you\u2019re paying good money to stare at the phone. We\u2019ve got a better way which puts you in control, and allows you to look for leads when you need them. It keeps you in control of your workload.<\/p>\n

We do lots of online marketing to get homeowners to post jobs with us. That means we invest heavily with the big search engines like Google and Bing<\/strong>, so whenever someone\u2019s looking for a tradesperson online, we\u2019re always at the top of the list, getting leads for you.<\/p>\n

And it doesn\u2019t stop there. Because our site appears at the top of Google searches, it means your Rated People profile page will appear higher than a small business website.<\/p>\n

Get reviews for everyone to see<\/strong> – grow your reputation and show off the quality of your work, all on your public profile that\u2019s easy to update with photos, descriptions and qualifications.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also see us regularly advertising on radio and TV<\/strong>, keeping us at the front of homeowners\u2019 minds.<\/p>\n

We make it easier for you to run your business<\/h2>\n

You\u2019re in control of when you can go for new leads, but we also want to make sure you\u2019re spending as much time as possible making money, not having to do paperwork. Plus, you get loads of discounts from business costs<\/strong><\/a>, as well as personal spending.<\/p>\n

The Trades app<\/h2>\n

Find and manage leads, update your profile, all at the touch of a button. Chat<\/strong> – easily send messages to homeowners using the app, or just get in touch via phone, text or email. Lead alerts<\/strong> – no need to keep checking your phone, get an alert the second you get a new lead.<\/p>\n

More time on the tools, less time doing paperwork<\/h2>\n

Lead tracker<\/strong><\/a> – manage your leads and see how much work you\u2019re doing. You can even add work you\u2019ve got from elsewhere so you can track it all in one place.<\/p>\n

Invoices<\/strong> – generate and send an invoice straight away. No need to waste time creating and emailing documents, we\u2019ll help with that.<\/p>\n
