Our Approach

Controlled Rollout: No Mass Sign-ups

We don't operate like typical platforms that accept everyone immediately. GopherPad expansion is managed area by area, trade by trade, to maintain enquiry quality and prevent market oversaturation.

Exclusive Enquiry Ownership

When a customer contacts you through GopherPad, that enquiry belongs to you alone. We don't share it with other trades, sell it to competitors, or put it up for auction.

This isn't a lead marketplace where multiple trades compete for the same job. It's direct customer-to-tradesperson contact, exactly like someone finding your business card or getting a referral from a neighbour.

What this means for you:

Direct customer relationship from first contact

No competition with other trades for the same job

You set your own prices without bidding pressure

Customer expects to hear from you, not multiple trades

How GopherPad Works vs Lead Companies

GopherPad Approach

One enquiry, one tradesperson
Customer contacts you directly and exclusively

No bidding or competition
You quote based on the job, not against other trades

Direct customer relationship
You own the relationship from first contact onwards

Customer expects your call
They've specifically enquired about your services

Lead Marketplace Model

Shared enquiries
Same lead sold to multiple competing trades

Bidding wars
Compete on price with other trades for same job

Customer gets bombarded
Multiple trades calling about the same job

Race to respond first
Fastest response often wins, regardless of quality

Fair Pricing

Quote based on the job requirements and your quality of work, not in competition with other trades racing to the bottom.

No pressure to undercut competitors

Professional Approach

Build proper customer relationships from the start. Take time to understand requirements without rushing against competitors.

Quality service over quick responses

Customer Satisfaction

Customers get focused attention from one professional tradesperson rather than multiple competing calls.

Better experience for everyone

Simple Principle

Your business deserves enquiries that belong to you. When a customer needs your services, they should contact you directly - not compete with multiple trades for your attention.

Independent Job Generation Platform

GopherPad operates as a standalone system that works alongside your existing business website. We don't modify anything you currently have - instead, we build a separate job-generation presence that brings you additional local enquiries.

This isn't SEO, website building, or digital marketing. It's a purpose-built platform for tradespeople who want more work without the complications that come with traditional online marketing approaches.

How We Operate GopherPad

Careful platform management to protect enquiry quality and fairness for all trades. Growth managed deliberately, not recklessly.

Controlled Rollout, Not Mass Sign-ups

We don't operate like typical platforms that sign up everyone at once. GopherPad expansion is managed carefully, area by area, to maintain enquiry quality and prevent oversaturation.

This means we sometimes turn away good tradespeople when an area already has sufficient coverage. It's not personal - it's about protecting the trades already working with us and maintaining the platform's effectiveness.

Why controlled growth matters:

Maintains sufficient enquiry volume per tradesperson

Prevents local market flooding

Protects existing trades' investment in the platform

Ensures sustainable long-term operation

Managing Trade Overlap and Competition

Area Coverage Limits

We monitor how many trades in each service category are operating in specific areas. When saturation approaches, we pause new registrations in that location and trade type.

Example: If three plumbers are already active in Chelmsford through GopherPad, we may not accept a fourth until enquiry volume justifies it.

Fair Distribution Monitoring

Regular analysis ensures enquiries are distributed reasonably among active trades. If imbalances develop, we adjust platform operation rather than simply adding more trades.

Focus: Making the system work better for existing trades before expanding to new ones.

Quality Over Quantity

We'd rather have 50 trades getting regular enquiries than 500 trades fighting over scraps.

Sustainable business model

Long-term Thinking

Platform decisions are made for long-term sustainability, not short-term sign-up numbers.

Protecting existing relationships

Feedback-Driven

Platform improvements come from actual trade feedback, not marketing department theories.

Real-world operation focus

Platform Development Based on Trade Feedback

Regular Trade Consultation

Active trades provide ongoing feedback about enquiry quality, platform functionality, and local market conditions. This drives development priorities.

Monthly feedback collection

Direct trade input on changes

Area-specific adjustments

Practical Improvements

Changes focus on real operational benefits for working tradespeople, not flashy features that don't help with actual business.

Enquiry quality enhancements

Local area optimisation

Notification improvements
