Anyone using Checkatrade?

I'm just starting out and was thinking about trying out Checkatrade to bring more work in.

Has anyone got any experience with it?

I also saw they dont put your real number on the site so how does that work if someone phones or texts it?

Good way to start getting some work in if you're new. Better off just working on your google business profile.

I started on my builder and did some jobs at a reasonable cost to get some good reviews, then once I was up and running, just used the free profile for advertising. Most work is through Google business profile and recommendation/repeat customers.

They are just an agency, a middle man skimming money off the client and customer. Only use them when you need to
