What makes the United Kingdom different

The UK market is unusual in how much weight vetted-trade directories carry. Checkatrade and its competitors rank for the searches your customers make, and many homeowners treat a listing there as a trust check before they will call a number at all.

UK citation FAQs

Do the vetted-trade directories charge a membership fee?

Some do. Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders run paid membership models with their own vetting process, which is separate from our fee and paid directly by you. We handle the submission and profile setup; we cannot waive a platform membership.

Do you need my trade certifications?

For the vetted directories, yes. Gas Safe, NICEIC, and similar registrations are part of their approval process. Send us the numbers and we will enter them where the directory asks; we never invent or estimate a registration.

Does this help outside London?

Often more than inside it. Regional and county-level searches are far less contested, so consistent citations plus a well-configured Google Business Profile can move a small local firm into the map pack faster than in a London borough.
