If you're a tradie weighing up whether a Featured listing is worth it, here's exactly what it does — and what it doesn't.
A Featured listing puts your business at the top of search results within your trade and suburb on TradieDirectory.com, adds a Featured badge to your card, and makes you eligible for the homepage spotlight. For $30/month AUD, it's designed to be the difference between page one and page three when someone searches for a tradie near them.
Featured placement doesn't change your Google rating or review count — those are shown exactly as they are for every listing, Featured or not. It's visibility, not a shortcut around reputation. That's also why it's worth getting your basics right first.
Make sure your free listing is complete and accurate — correct trade category, suburb, and contact details. If you're not listed yet, apply for free first; you can add Featured at any point afterwards.
We're connecting Stripe for secure billing next week, so Featured subscriptions aren't payable just yet. In the meantime you can join the waitlist on the Featured page and we'll email you the moment it opens.
