The Problem With Lead Platforms

You’re in a lineup

Customers see you next to 4 other local trades. You compete on price before you’ve even spoken to them.

You don’t control the enquiries

If the platform changes its pricing, ranking or rules, your enquiries can dry up overnight – and there’s nothing you can do.

You pay whether you win or not

Monthly membership fees, lead credits, or per-job costs – the platform gets paid regardless of whether you actually win the work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Checkatrade alternative for tradespeople?

For most trades, the best alternative is your own website. It puts customers directly in front of your business – no competition, no platform fees, no one else taking a cut. You own the enquiry from the moment it comes in.

Can I use Checkatrade and my own website at the same time?

Yes, and for some trades that makes sense while the website is building up local visibility. But your own website gives you a stable, long-term base that doesn’t depend on a third-party platform’s pricing or ranking decisions.

How much does a trade website cost?

£49 per month, with no upfront build cost. Hosting, domain, mobile-friendly design, local SEO setup, quote form, updates and support are all included. No VAT. Cancel anytime.

How quickly can my website go live?

Usually within 7 days of us receiving your details. You’ll see a preview first and can request changes before it goes live.

What if I already have a domain name?

I’ll connect it to your new website at no extra charge. If you don’t have one, I’ll register a suitable domain as part of your £49/month subscription.

What if I’m not happy with the website?

You’ll see the full site before it goes live. If you’re not happy with it at that stage, you simply don’t continue. You won’t be charged again.
