Why Verified Tradies on ServiceTasker Get More Jobs

In today’s competitive service industry, it’s not just about how good you are with a wrench, paintbrush, or power drill — it’s about how much your customers can trust you before they even meet you. That’s where ServiceTasker's verification system comes in.

If you're wondering why some tradies(painters, builders or movers) seem to land more jobs, earn better reviews, and get called back again and again, the answer often comes down to one simple factor: verification.

What Does “Verified Tradie” Mean on ServiceTasker?

When you’re verified on ServiceTasker, it means you've provided proof of key credentials like:

• Trade licence or certification
• Police check/background check
• ABN (Australian Business Number)
• Public liability insurance
• Business address and contact information
• ID verification

Once these are submitted and approved, a “Verified” badge appears on your profile, helping you stand out from the crowd.

Why Customers Prefer Verified Tradies

1. Instant Trust

Customers looking for a tradie are trusting a stranger to enter their home or workplace. Seeing that “Verified” badge immediately creates confidence — they know you've been checked out by a reputable platform

“If I have to pick between two quotes, and only one has a verified profile, I always choose the one that’s verified. It just feels safer,” said most homeowners.

2. Faster Decision-Making

People searching for urgent services — a leaking tap, a faulty switchboard, a fence falling — don’t have time to research every tradie. They look for signs of reliability and speed. A verified profile cuts the decision time in half. Verified tradies are 3X more likely to be hired on first contact.

3. You Appear Higher in Searches

ServiceTasker's platform algorithm favours tradies who are verified and active. That means:

• You show up more often when people search for local services
• You’re included in more “Recommended” and “Featured” listings
• You get more visibility than unverified users

4. Better Reviews & Repeat Clients

Because verified tradies often earn trust faster, customers are more relaxed and open during the job, and happier to leave positive reviews afterwards. It’s a snowball effect: more jobs → more reviews → more jobs.

Repeat business also increases when customers feel like they’re hiring someone legitimate and professional.

5. Higher Quote Acceptance Rates

Many customers receive 3–5 quotes per task. When they see that only one of them has a verified badge and detailed credentials, they’re far more likely to click “Accept.”

Even if your quote is slightly higher, your verification status can justify it.

6. Win Larger or Commercial Jobs

Some clients — especially for larger residential or commercial projects — only consider verified tradies. This is especially true when:

• Insurance liability is involved
• Multiple tradies are needed on-site
• Strata or property managers are posting tasks

Without verification, you might miss out on higher-paying, long-term opportunities.

7. You Look Professional – Even Before You Speak

In this digital-first world, your profile is your first impression. A verified badge acts like an automatic reference, letting customers know you're serious, legit, and operating by the book.

Being verified is like showing up to a job site with your tools ready and boots clean – it shows you're ready to work and to be trusted.
