Why TradieFlow

Why tradesmen choose TradieFlow over MyBuilder

Stop bidding, start receiving

MyBuilder's model requires you to express interest in leads and pay for the privilege - often competing with 3–5 other tradesmen for the same job. With your own website, enquiries come directly to you. No competition, no bidding.

Your leads, not MyBuilder's

On MyBuilder, the customer relationship starts on their platform. With a website, customers find you on Google, browse your work, and choose you before they even make contact. These are warmer, higher-quality leads.

Build an asset, not a dependency

Every pound spent on MyBuilder is gone the day you stop. Every month on TradieFlow, your website's SEO authority grows, your Google rankings improve, and your organic lead generation strengthens.

Problem #1

The Directory Trap

Checkatrade. Rated People. MyBuilder. Most tradesmen have tried at least one. Here's why they don't solve the problem.

You're One of Twenty

Every customer who searches finds you sitting next to 10, 15, sometimes 20 competitors on the same page. You have no brand, no identity. You're just a name and a star rating. The only way to stand out is to undercut on price - and that's a race to the bottom you don't want to win.

You're Renting, Not Owning

You pay £100–£200 a month for visibility that disappears the moment you stop paying. You're not building anything. No website. No SEO. No asset. Every penny spent is gone the day you cancel.

The Leads Are Worse

Directory leads are price-shoppers. They're getting 5 quotes at once and going with the cheapest. Your own website attracts customers who've already decided they want YOU - they just need to confirm you're legitimate. That's a completely different conversation.

Checkatrade

Checkatrade costs up to £2,400/year- for leads you share with competitors, on a platform you don't own, with no long-term return.

TradieFlow

TradieFlow costs £588/year after setup - for a website you own, that builds your brand, ranks on Google, and works 24/7.
