GuildGauge

How GuildGauge works

Compare local tradespeople and get free quotes in three simple steps.

For homeowners

  1. 1

    Browse and compare

    Pick a trade and an area to see local businesses side by side — ratings, review counts, specialties, and years in business, sourced from Google.

  2. 2

    Request free quotes

    Describe the job once on any trade/area page. We pass your details to up to 4 of the top-rated matched businesses in that area — no need to contact each one yourself.

  3. 3

    Compare and choose

    Businesses that receive your request contact you directly by phone or email with a quote. Compare what they offer and pick the one you want to hire.

For businesses

  1. 1

    Claim your listing

    Find your business on GuildGauge and claim it. An admin reviews the claim to confirm you're the owner.

  2. 2

    Complete your profile

    Once claimed, edit your listing — add specialties, response time, years in business, and a blurb so homeowners know more about you.

  3. 3

    Receive leads

    When a homeowner requests quotes for your trade and area, matching claimed listings appear in your dashboard's Leads section with the customer's name, contact details, and job description.

Frequently asked questions

Is GuildGauge free to use?

How are listings ranked?

Listings are ordered by rating and review count, so the highest-rated, most-reviewed businesses in your area show up first.

How many businesses will see my request?

Up to 4 — the top-ranked matches for the trade and area you searched. We don't send your details to every business listed.

How do I claim my business listing?

Open your listing page and click "Claim this business." You'll need an account, and an admin reviews each claim before it's approved.
