Useful checks, clearer information and safer marketplace habits.
Tradies Local can support trust by reviewing selected profile information and giving users practical tools to assess who they are dealing with. No marketplace check replaces a customer’s own due diligence.
Trust should be specific, not vague.
Badges and verification labels should state what was reviewed and should appear only when the relevant check has been completed.
What verification can mean on Tradies Local.
The exact badge should match the exact check completed. Avoid assuming a badge guarantees work quality, availability, insurance coverage or fitness for a particular job.
