Our Story – VettedLocal.com
Alright, let me tell you how this all started…
I (Jason) have worked with trades for years, and one thing kept coming up in every conversation:
finding good, steady local work is harder than it should be.
Most people jump straight onto Checkatrade, Rated People, MyBuilder or Bark because “that’s what everyone does,” right?
But then reality hits:
- The yearly fees or pay-per-lead costs just keep climbing
- You’re competing with loads of others
- You don’t actually own your reviews or profile
- And if you leave… everything you built disappears overnight
They’re useful when you’re new, but let’s be honest… they don’t care about helping you grow your business long term.
And as I watched more and more tradespeople feel stuck, I thought:
“There’s got to be a better way than this.”
So I decided to build one.
Why VettedLocal Exists
VettedLocal started as a simple directory idea. Nothing fancy.
But while building it, something clicked:
Why not build a directory AND give trades the tools to grow faster at the same time?
A directory that actually helps you
- Get seen locally,
- Build your reputation,
- Create better systems,
- Learn the marketing side of business
Stand out from the crowd
Imagine one place where you’re promoted locally AND supported with training, tips, downloads, reviews management and more…
That’s what VettedLocal has become.
Not just another listing site.
Not another “pay per lead” trap.
But a place that actually gives you the support you’ve been missing..
Who’s Behind It…
It’s just me, Jason (hi 👋), and a small team who genuinely care about helping local trades win.
We’re not a giant corporation.
We’re not trying to squeeze every penny out of you.
We’re building something that actually puts tradespeople first — the way it should be.
