How to win more work on Rank My Builder
Tradesperson
Winning work on Rank My Builder comes down to trust and timing. With jobs capped at 5 quotes, you're never up against a crowd — so a strong profile and a clear, prompt quote go a long way. Here's what works.
Build trust before you bid
Get verified. The badge is checked against public registers and is one of the first things homeowners look for, so it lifts your standing on every job you quote.
Fill out your profile properly — the trades you do, the areas you cover and clear examples of your work. A complete profile reassures homeowners deciding between five quotes.
Quote well
Be quick. Because jobs cap at 5 quotes, getting in early means you're more likely to be one of the options the homeowner sees. A token only buys a bid, so make it count.
Be clear about what's included. A homeowner choosing between quotes will favour the one that spells out scope, price and timing over a bare number. Answer their questions promptly through the platform.
Earn reviews and pick the right jobs
Reviews are tied to completed jobs, so consistently good work and tidy communication compound over time into a profile that wins work on its own.
Bid on jobs that genuinely fit your trade, area and availability rather than everything. Spending your tokens on the right jobs gives you a better win rate than scattering bids widely.
FAQs
What's the single biggest thing I can do to win more work?
Get verified and build genuine reviews. Trust signals matter most when a homeowner is choosing between a handful of quotes, and both are checked or earned rather than just claimed.
Does quoting quickly really help?
Yes. Jobs cap at 5 quotes, so being early improves your odds of being seen and considered. A fast, clear quote beats a slow, vague one.
Should I bid on every job I can?
No. Bidding on jobs that truly fit your trade, area and availability gives a better return on your tokens than spreading bids thin across jobs you're unlikely to win or want.
