The internet, so we’re told, is the best place to find everything. We can shop online, read the news online, or order pizza online. In the US, 79% of Americans do their shopping online — and the reason they do so is because it’s incredibly easy.
Yet, despite all this simplicity and easiness, the idea of finding a decent local tradesman online seems somewhat odd. There’s good reason for this.
For one thing, most websites designed for finding local tradesman are terrible. They load too slowly, the process is too complicated and, in the end, you’re forced to ring most tradesmen up anyway.
Looks familiar?
This is because 94.2% of plumbers, electricians and local tradesman are independent. To a certain degree, this is a good thing. It means there is competition, which is what forces independent businesspeople (in any industry) to innovate and to outperform each other. In the end, this benefits the customer.
However, the downside to all of this competition and independence is that it means tradespeople are fragmented. Each one has a different email address or phone number and only a tiny handful of them have working websites.
Tradesmen are everywhere, but how on earth do you find the best one for your area?
Clearly, something needs to change. If only we could encourage the independence of the UK’s 500,000 self-employed tradesmen, while also giving customers a single place to contact a local tradesman for any job. Well, now there is…
