Getting started
Your directory page, and the enquiry form on it
Updated
Every account comes with a public page. It has your details, what you do, and a form a customer can fill in. Anything sent through that form arrives with the rest of your work — same as an enquiry you'd forwarded in yourself.
You don't design it and you don't publish it. It exists from the day you sign up, and it says whatever you've told it to.
What you can put on it
All of it is optional. The page only shows what you've filled in, so it's honest when it's sparse — but a page with nothing on it gives a customer no reason to pick you.
- Your trade and the area you work in. These make the line under your name — "Electrician in Falkirk". It's also what somebody types when they're looking for you.
- A few lines about the business. What you do, where, how long you've been at it. Your words, not ours.
- What you do. One job per line, up to twenty. Most people scan this before anything else.
- Opening hours. So nobody rings at half seven on a Sunday.
- Your phone, email and address. These come from Business details, so changing them there changes them here.
Edit the lot from Settings → Your directory page.
Your street address stays off it
By default the page shows your town and nothing more. No street, no postcode — not on the page and not in the data search engines read.
Most people working out of a van are registered at home, and a postcode narrows that down to a handful of houses. If you work from a unit or a shop and want the full address on there, turn it on in the same place.
How the enquiry form reaches you
Someone fills it in. You get the job in your list, with what they typed and how to reach them, and they see a plain confirmation in your name. If you've got the acknowledgement switched on, they get that too — from you, not from us.
There's nothing to check and nowhere else to log in. It's the same place your forwarded emails land.
Where to put the link
Your page has a fixed address, shown in Settings → Your directory page with a button to copy it. It's worth pasting into:
- your van, your cards, your quotes
- your Checkatrade or MyBuilder profile
- your Google Business listing
- your WhatsApp status, or the reply you send when someone asks what you do
If you already have a website, the page works alongside it — put the link on your contact page so enquiries from your own site land in the same place as everything else.
Turning it off
One switch, same screen. A hidden page shows nothing and takes no enquiries, and it's off the moment you save.
