Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be based in the city centre to get Manchester jobs?
No. Alerts follow the distance from your base postcode, not the city boundary. A tradesperson based in Stockport or Salford can set a base postcode that reaches many Manchester jobs within their radius.
Can one profile cover jobs in Didsbury, Chorlton and Ancoats?
Yes. You create one profile with one base postcode and your trades. Jobs across the city are matched by distance from that postcode, so you do not need a separate listing for each area.
Should I add every trade I can do?
Add the trades you can do well, because you receive alerts for each trade you cover. As your business grows, you can update your trades in your profile.
