TRADE PAGE vs HIPAGES
What are the Key Differences?
When comparing advertising platforms for tradies, it’s important to understand how each one operates and how it aligns with your business goals. Let’s break down the key differences between Trade Page and hipages to help you make an informed decision.
How hipages Works:
hipages is a platform where homeowners post job requests, which are then converted into leads and sent to local tradies. Each job can be accepted by up to three tradies in the area using a lead credit system.
​
Lead Credit System: Tradies receive a certain amount of lead credits each month to access job leads.
​
Flexibility: If a tradie's credits are used, they have options:
- Wait for the next billing cycle for credits to replenish
- Pay to top up credits
- Upgrade to a higher package with a larger monthly lead credit allowance
​​
Job System: Up to three tradies can accept each job lead:
- If more than three tradies are interested, they’re placed on a waitlist.
- If one of the first three tradies backs out, the customer can connect with other tradies from the waitlist.
How Trade Page Works:
Trade Page offers a different approach to advertising, focusing on fixed-price advertising with suburb-based marketing. Here's how we differ:
​
Fixed-Price Advertising: At Trade Page, you don’t pay per lead or per click. Our pricing is based on the level of exposure your business needs, making it easy to understand and manage. There are no hidden fees – you pay a fixed monthly or yearly rate for your chosen areas.
​
Exclusive Suburb Rights: Trade Page offers exclusive advertising rights for your service in specific suburbs, ensuring that you’re the only tradie featured in that area. This gives you a distinct competitive advantage.
​​
Professional Page: Your business gets its own professional page to showcase your services, dedicated solely to your business.
​
Direct Visibility: When homeowners search for trade services in your chosen suburb, they’ll find your business on Trade Page.
