The Problem with Getting Leads as a Tradesperson

Most tradespeople get new work one of three ways: word of mouth, social media, or lead generation sites like Checkatrade or MyBuilder. Word of mouth is great — but you can't turn it on. Social media works — but enquiries come in from DMs, comments, and WhatsApp messages scattered across different apps.

And the lead gen sites? You're paying for every lead whether it converts or not. The customer fills in a form, the site sells that enquiry to four or five different tradespeople, and suddenly you're competing on price before you've even had a conversation.

What's been missing is something in between: a simple page you own and control, that you can send people to directly, and that puts the enquiry straight into your hands — not the hands of a marketplace.

What Your TaskDrop Enquiry Page Does

When you sign up to TaskDrop, you get a free enquiry page at your own URL:

It's a clean, mobile-first page with your business name and the TaskDrop branding. Customers see a simple form asking for their name, mobile number, postcode, what they need done, and any extra details. No account required on their end. No app download. Just a form, on their phone, that takes about 60 seconds to fill in.

When they hit submit, the details land in your WhatsApp — formatted, ready to quote from. Name, number, postcode, job description. You can reply with a quote, call them back, or just reply to the WhatsApp message. It's all in one place.

Where to Share It

The point of having your own link is that you can put it anywhere. A few places that work well:

• Instagram and Facebook bio — change the link in your profile to your enquiry page. Every post you share ("Got any jobs needing done? Link in bio") now funnels straight to you.
• Facebook posts and stories — post before-and-after photos of your work and drop your link in the caption. Customers can enquire in two taps.
• Van signage and business cards — a short URL like taskdrop.co.uk/q/tk-plumbing is easy to put on print. People can type it on their phone while they're looking at your van.
• WhatsApp groups and local community pages — if someone asks "anyone know a good sparky?" you can drop your link directly in the reply.
• Your Google Business Profile — add the link as your website or in the description. People finding you on Google Maps can go straight to your enquiry page.

How It's Different from Lead Gen Sites

With Checkatrade, MyBuilder, or similar sites, the customer fills in what they need and the platform sells that enquiry to multiple tradespeople. You get an alert, but so do four others. You're all chasing the same job and the customer is comparing prices from the start.

Your TaskDrop enquiry page is different in a few ways:

• The lead is yours only. When someone fills in your page, the enquiry goes to you — nobody else gets it.
• There's no commission. TaskDrop doesn't take a cut of the job. The enquiry page is free with your account, full stop.
• The customer came to you specifically. They clicked your link, on your social media or your van. They already know who you are. That's a warmer conversation from the start.
• You don't have to bid against strangers. No racing to call the customer within five minutes before someone else does. They messaged you.

One More Way to Fill Your Diary Without the Faff

Most of the tools tradespeople use to get leads involve either paying a platform for every enquiry or spending hours posting on social media hoping someone picks up the phone. Your enquiry page doesn't replace either of those — but it makes both work harder.

When your Instagram post lands, there's now a clear next step for anyone who wants a quote. When someone sees your van, there's somewhere to go. When you're in a Facebook group and someone asks who to call — there's a link to drop in the comments.

It's a small addition that plugs the gap between "I've seen you around" and "here's the job I need done." And it's already included in your account.
