Checkatrade, the UK's leading home improvement platform, has unveiled its latest quarterly product release, sharing the newest tools and technology built to help trades win more work, grow their reputation, and spend less time on admin.
What's new?
The headline update is a 24/7 AI Receptionist that answers every call a trade misses, captures the customer's details, and sends a full summary straight to their inbox - customised to their business, so no lead falls through the cracks.
Checkatrade has also partnered with Google to let members take bookings directly from Google Search and Maps. Trades using the new "Book Online" button are seeing a 1.7x increase in conversions to job requests, with no commission fee.
For members who want more flexibility, a new Opportunities Board gives a live feed of local consumer leads. Trades can browse for free and only pay to unlock the leads they want to answer, with alerts when new opportunities open up in their area and category.
