How Your Verification Record Helps You Win More Trade Work
A public Verification Record gives homeowners the confidence to hire you by showing that your business is genuine and fully checked.
Homeowners want to know who they are letting into their property. When you quote for a job, you are usually competing against other local trades. Offering a fair price matters, but trust is what actually closes the deal. Customers want clear proof that you are a legitimate trade business before they hand over a deposit or sign a contract.
Free listings and verified status
Being listed on Approved Tradesman is free and needs no paperwork. A free listing gets your basic business name and trade details onto our directory so local people can find you.
Verification is a paid, optional layer that adds real weight to your profile. Approval is earned, never bought. Membership pays for checking, publication and monitoring. When homeowners see the green verified status on your profile, they know that real checks completed by our team stand behind your business name.
The tools you get to build trust
Getting verified gives you clear artwork and official assets that you can use every day to show potential customers you are genuine.
- Your public record: An online page showing your green status and your checks completed.
- Your official certificate: A high-resolution certificate you can print out or attach to email estimates.
- Your QR artwork: A scannable code designed to be printed on your van, work wear, business cards, and printed quotes.
How to use your record in daily work
You can use your Verification Record at every stage of a job to win quotes over unverified competitors. When you email a written quote to a client, include a direct link to your online record. When you visit a home to measure up, show the customer your printed certificate.
Your van is also a moving billboard. Adding your QR code artwork to your vehicle allows neighbours and passers-by to scan the code with their mobile phones. It takes them straight to your public record, where they can see your green status instantly without typing in a web address.
