How to market a reliable tradesmen website

[Scottish Business Owner]

I have another venture i'm possibly going to look at. It's based around finding reliable tradesmen in your local area. I'm aware there are lots of sites out there at present so i'm looking for ideas on how to differentiate it from the others.

From the user perspective it will be free to post jobs etc. Really just looking for experience from others in using these sites. What worked what didn't?

I'm then also looking to get ome feedback from the trademan's end. What's important in that respect is wanting to use the site and getting the most out of it.

Ideas and suggestions gratefully received

Hi

I'll send you links to 2 short surveys we carried out last year which may give you some ideas.
