Clear, factual answers about GopherPad. No sales pitch, just the information you need to make an informed decision.
GopherPad is a UK trade platform that creates dedicated business pages to generate enquiries for local tradespeople.
We build and manage online presence for your business to bring you more work from customers in your area.
We create a dedicated business page for your trade in your local area. When customers search for your services, they find your page and submit enquiries.
You get notified of new enquiries and can choose which ones to view and respond to. No shared leads, no bidding against other trades.
Local tradespeople who want more work without the hassles of lead marketplaces. Established trades who can handle additional enquiries.
Works best for trades already busy but wanting steady growth, not those desperate for immediate work.
Trades needing work immediately, those wanting guaranteed results, or businesses looking for large commercial contracts.
Not suitable if you can't handle additional enquiries or expect instant results.
£30 monthly platform fee plus £5 per enquiry you choose to view. Pay-per-enquiry means you only pay for what you use.
No upfront fees, no payment details taken until your page is live and working.
Yes. Pause when you're too busy, cancel if it's not working out. No contracts, no penalties.
You can rejoin later if circumstances change. We keep your page setup on file.
No. We don't touch your existing website or ask you to make any changes to it.
GopherPad runs completely separately from your current website and marketing.
No. Each enquiry goes to one trade only. No bidding, no competition with other businesses for the same customer.
Your business page is yours alone in your area and trade type.
Building local online presence takes time. Most trades start seeing enquiries within 4-6 weeks, but it can take 2-3 months to build steady flow.
This isn't a quick fix. If you need work immediately, look at other options.
Mostly domestic work from homeowners in your local area. Typical residential projects rather than large commercial contracts.
Real enquiries from people who need work done, not tire-kickers.
To some extent. We set up your page based on your trade and services. But we can't filter out every type of job you don't want.
You'll still need to qualify customers and decide which jobs to take.
We handle all the technical setup and management. Nothing for you to learn beyond providing your business information.
Support available if you have questions, but no training required.
We review your trade type and location to see if we have capacity in your area. Usually takes 2-3 working days.
If approved, we'll contact you to gather business details and set up your page.
No. No franchise fees, no recruiting requirements, no territorial licenses to buy.
Simply a service that creates business pages to generate enquiries for trades.
We believe in honest, straightforward answers. No sales pressure.
Tell us about your trade and area. No obligations.
Check if your area has capacity. Usually takes 2-3 days.
We create your page. Costs only start when it's working.
GopherPad isn't for everyone. It's for trades who want steady additional work without the hassles of lead marketplaces, shared enquiries, or upfront costs.
If that sounds like what you need, apply. If not, that's fine too.
No pressure. No sales calls. Just honest answers to help you decide.
