We built Choose Local because finding someone good shouldn't be this hard
We've spent over a decade helping Australian businesses find customers. We watched people chase businesses that never called back, and good businesses pay for enquiries that had already been sold to eight others. So we built the fix: check every professional properly, match on quality instead of who pays most, and let you choose how many quotes you get.
Questions people ask before they trust us
Is Choose Local really free for me?
Yes. Professionals pay a monthly fee to receive requests. You never pay us, and you pay the professional directly for their work.
How do you check professionals?
We check their licence or registration with the right regulator, sight their insurance, verify their ID and ABN, and interview them. After every job, you rate them.
Who gets my phone number?
Only the professionals quoting your job: 1, 2 or 3, depending on what you choose. We never sell or share your details with anyone else.
What if they're not right for me?
Just say no to the quote. You're never obliged to go ahead. Tell us what went wrong and we'll follow up.
Get pre-qualified local customers, see each request before you pay, and never compete with more than 2 others.
Tell us what you need. We'll find a local professional you can trust.
