How to bid?

How much SHOULD I offer?
Lead fees vary depending on the service with prices ranging from $5 to $20 per lead. You must offer the minimum amount but you are able to offer more than the minimum to ensure you are one of the four contractors shown to the customer. You will know if your bid amount is high enough to be one of the four contractors shown if they show as green. You do not need to bid a higher amount if your bids are green.

How much CAN I offer?
That’s your choice, up to $100. You are given 5 price points when you select the bidding tab. If you would like to offer more than this, select the drop-down menu below these amounts and choose any figure up to $100. Bids go up in increments of $5.

What do I pay when I win a lead?
That depends on the service you offer. There are different lead fees depending on the service – this is the fairest way for us to charge. You will know what your lead fees are by clicking the BULK BID tab on the services page. A list of your services and their cost will appear.

Beside each bidding box, you will see a red or green stripe.  When your bid shows as red, you are not visible to customers.  This is because you either haven’t bid or your bid isn’t high enough to be counted amongst the top four contractors shown.  It is recommended that you raise your bid to secure leads.

If your bid is showing as green, it means you are being displayed to customers looking for that service in that suburb.

Remember, you are bidding for future jobs that may become available in these areas.  If another contractor bids a higher amount than you, you are notified via email so you are able to increase your bids if you wish.  It is also a good idea to check this page regularly as well.
