Tips to win more offers

  • Keep a high rating with tidy work and clear photos.
  • Expand your service zone or add a second trade to see more offers.
  • Use Pro Plus for priority placement when you want more volume.
Earnings example: a £185 job pays £162.80 at the 12% base commission, or £170.20 as a Pro Plus member (8%). Your money is released from escrow to your Stripe account as soon as the customer confirms.
