How GuildGauge works
Compare local tradespeople and get free quotes in three simple steps.
For homeowners
- 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
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
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
Claim your listing
Find your business on GuildGauge and claim it. An admin reviews the claim to confirm you're the owner.
- 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
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.
