| Why can other tradesmen see my qualifications when I post a “Basic Quote”? |
SelectShow |
|---|
This is part of our quality control measures. We do not want tradesmen quoting on jobs which they are not qualified to carry out. The open platform means that tradesmen can report any violations (e.g. someone who is not Gas Safe Registered quoting on a gas boiler job).
Once a job has been awarded, the quotes will be published.

Basic Quotes are best if:
- You prefer your quote to be hidden from other tradesmen and customers.
- You want to pay a “Success Fee” rather than a “Quote Fee”.

Featured Quotes save you money if you are awarded the job because the quote fee is much lower than the award fee. Your quote will also be published on out “Quote Search” pages which are visible in Google. If someone sees your entry on a “Quote Search” page they can request a quote directly

Why can tradesmen who do not have an “unlimited membership”
still submit a Featured Quote on premium jobs? |

A Featured Quote requires an up-front fee so we allow users with non premium membership to place a limited number of quotes. They cannot however submit Basic Quotes, nor can they request a call back or site visit.

| Why is the company name shown instead of the username? |
SelectShow |

In the interests of increasing your company’s visibility and building up a reputation, your company name is more important than your username.
