How Local Traders works

The same real flow whether you're posting a job or looking to fill your week.

If you need something done

1. Tell us what happened
Describe the problem in your own words. No account required to start.
2. See suitable local traders
Verified tradies in your category and service area can respond with interest and a quote.
3. Choose or book
Compare real ratings and quotes, message your choice directly, and lock it in.
4. Track the job
Follow real status — posted, matched, booked, in progress, completed — no guessing.
5. Keep the history
Every completed job, invoice, and trader is saved to My Home for next time.

1. Get verified
Identity, business, and — where your trade needs it — licence & insurance. Once, not per job.
2. Set your service area
Postcodes, states, or cities you actually cover.
3. Receive suitable jobs
Jobs matched to your categories and area land in your feed — not a public bidding wall.
4. Quote / complete work
Quote, message, and get paid through the platform once the job's done.
5. Grow your business
Real reviews and repeat customers build your Trust tier over time.
