Time is more valuable than money

Organising jobs around your home or business can be hectic, so much so that we're hearing from customers (specifically our Facebook fans) that saving time is more important than saving money.   


What’s the going rate?

The retail sector has RRPs (recommended retail prices) but there’s nothing like that for the service industry. So how do you know if you’re paying a fair price for your plumber or electrician?


The waiting game

I hate waiting around for tradies even more than I hate the anxious wait for my online shopping purchases. Australia Post has solved one of my predicaments; I was hoping to come up with the solution for the other...


Silence gets you nowhere

Whether you’re looking to win a date or some work, there are two things you MUST do – communicate and get personal.


Stay safe and warm this winter

I know this sounds like a somber community service annoucement...and it is. It's nice to keep yourself warm in cooler weather, but remember heaters are a major cause of house fires. So be safe about it!


Why we don't sweat the copycats

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, or so we’re all told. But no one really likes copycats – especially in business. Find out then why we're not fussed.


Out of office at the home show

The Sydney HIA Home Show was same, same and not much different. I think it’s time for a revamp!


New site features for businesses

Check out some of the big changes we've made on the site recently - and what's coming up:


More jobs for tradies

Have we sent you more building leads lately? Unfortunately we can’t take all the credit…construction is booming and we're taking you along for the ride!


The triumph of the bogan tradie

New business finds success on Service Seeking

Handyman Wayne Hicking shows businesses why being the new kid on the ServiceSeeking.com.au block isn’t so bad at all.


The dreaded carbon tax

Carbon tax is not just a dirty word (or words) in the electrical industry, it's got a bad rep in the building world too.


Feedback made easy

Whether you're looking for a romantic restaurant, luxury lodge or trusty tradie; reviews are absolutely invaluable. Which is why we've made it easier for you to leave feedback for businesses on our site.  


Some winners, but more losers

It's out with the old and in with the new - but debatably not better - First Home Owners Grant...this time it's double or nothing.


Go-getter, gets it

Tim Butler from Tim Butler Carpentry is an active member of our Service Seeking community. He's always one of the first people to comment on our Facebook page with insightful remarks about the building industry. Sounds like the type of guy you want to take advice from! Which is why we had a quick chat with him about his success on the site.
