For a Limited Time List Your Business For Free On LocalTrader
Hi there, I’m Alex, creator of LocalTrader.co.uk, proud dad of two energy-filled kids, and someone who knows his way around both a keyboard and a from a family of painters and decorators. I’ve seen firsthand how important it is for tradespeople to get their name out there—and in today’s world, that means being online.
At LocalTrader, we’re here to help quality local professionals like you get found by customers in your area without the hassle, the spam, or the price tag. In fact, our website is completely FREE right now (yes, free!) while we’re in early development. That means you can get in before the stampede, and enjoy every feature we offer without spending a penny.
So, what are we covering in this little guide? Let’s break it down.
Quick overview:
- Why LocalTrader is currently FREE
- How simple it is to upload your business
- What features you unlock when you join
- How your business can be live in 30 minutes or less
Quick Background on LocalTrader
LocalTrader.co.uk was built with one idea in mind: helping everyday people find reliable, local tradespeople without the nonsense. We’re talking about hardworking folks like builders, plumbers, sparkies, roofers, gardeners, and yes even end-of-tenancy cleaners (you legends!).
Our aim is to be the go-to website for people across the UK who need a job done, done right, and by someone they can trust. But we’re not just another listing site. We’re shaking things up a bit, making things fairer for tradespeople, simpler for customers, and way easier to use.
I know how tricky it can be balancing jobs, managing quotes, and finding time to do your own marketing. That’s why we’ve made LocalTrader straightforward, affordable, and full of features that actually help.
Lets be up front:
- Sign up today, and you will get a minimum of 12 months free inclusion on site.
- We don’t collect any payment details, so when we do decide to start charing you can decide if it’s right for you.
We’re Free Right Now (Instead of £19.99 a Year)
Yes, you read that right. Completely free. No sneaky charges. No “add-ons” or cheeky upsells. Normally, it’ll cost just £19.99 per year, the price of a takeaway and a pint ,but while we’re growing and gathering great local talent, we’re offering full access at no cost.
It’s our way of giving back to the trades community, and building a solid, trustworthy network of pros before we open the doors to the wider public. It’s also great timing for you, because once you’re in, you’re in.
Uploading Your Business Is Easier Than Fitting an IKEA Wardrobe
We know you’re busy. That’s why we’ve made the sign-up process super simple. Whether you’re a one-man band or a full team of tradespeople, you can create your profile in just a few steps.
All we ask for is:
- Your name and business name
- The services you offer
- A bit about your experience (just be honest and real)
- A photo and logo
- Contact details and the areas you cover
No need for CVs or formal interviews, just straight to the point. You don’t even have to be a tech wizard. If you can send a text, you can sign up. (If you can’t send a text, get the kids to help, they’re quicker than us at this stuff.)
All Features Are Unlocked – No Hidden Paywalls
Unlike some of the big-name competitors (cough pay-per-lead), we don’t charge extra for the good stuff. As a LocalTrader member, you’ll get access to:
- A public profile page
- Reviews from real customers
- Job leads from local people in your area
- Direct contact from customers, no middleman
- The ability to update your profile whenever you like
Basically, everything you need to get your name out there and start winning work. No tokens. No pay-per-click nonsense. Just one flat, simple setup, free for now, and still affordable later.
Get Listed in Under 30 Minutes
This isn’t one of those “we’ll be in touch in 7–10 working days” kind of deals. If you’ve got your info ready, you can have your business live on the site in half an hour or less.
That means:
- You can finish your tea…
- Upload your details…
- And have your name in front of potential customers before you’ve even finished that last custard cream.
And once you’re up, we’ll keep it running 24/7, so even when you’re sleeping (or hiding from the kids), your business is working for you.
Final Word from Me
Look, I get it. There are loads of platforms out there, and most of them make big promises. But at LocalTrader, we’re building something genuinely useful, without the exhale of air when you see the prices, or drowning you in spammy leads.
We’re early days, which is why now’s the best time to jump in. It’s free, it’s quick, and it’s made by people who’ve actually been on the tools, not just behind a desk.
So give it a try. Set up your listing, tell people what you’re great at, and let us help you get found.
Cheers,
Alex
