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

Blue-collar workers and bogans are one and the same, at least writer David Penberthy thinks so. I don't agree. 


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. 


We've got mail (lots of it!)

If you’ve checked out our Facebook page recently, you’d be forgiven for thinking we have some “cash for comment” scheme going on – the feedback is that good! But these comments don’t even compare to the loads of heart-warming emails we receive each day. 


Help us safeguard our marketplace

We don’t want dodgy businesses on our site, so if you have a bad experience with one – please let us know. 


Dream TV renovations now a reality?

Renovations can now be as easy as home reno shows will have you believe. I think we've revolutionised the renovation process, so it’s as fast and efficient in the real world as it is on the small screen - well almost!


Don’t promise the world, if you can’t deliver it

This is the mantra that has won Allan Bayad a stack of work through our site and has led him to put on two full time staff members.</p> &nbsp;


Why should I Verify?

This question crops up quite a bit in our support emails and on our Facebook page, so I thought I&rsquo;d spell out the benefits of Verification on our site.&nbsp;


What’s the going rate?

Childcare workers vs. cleaners &ndash; who&rsquo;s the lowest paid?


Eyes wide open

An African landscape and my sister&rsquo;s wedding&hellip; I admit, it&rsquo;s an odd combination &ndash; but both have provided me with a new found appreciation of professional photography.&nbsp;


Get your name up in lights

Or at least on our Facebook cover pic - but only if you&rsquo;re our business of the week!


Snap our bus ad for your chance to win $250!

We have the perfect excuse for you to get snap happy.


RBA holds rates steady

RBA announced today that they've decided to keep rates steady at&nbsp;3.5%. I'm sure homeowners (like me) are once again giving a huge cheer, or at the very least breathing a small sigh of relief.


Business of the Week: GK’s Grass & Glass

A big congratulations goes to Geoffrey Keane of GK&rsquo;s Grass &amp; Glass for winning &ldquo;Business of the Week.&rdquo; Find out how he did it&hellip;


Membership: Everything you need to know

Monthly membership costs can change (read: drop drastically) depending on your coverage area and types of job leads. So check your settings to make sure you&rsquo;re getting the best price possible.


Business of the Week: Shami Tiling

This week our Business of the Week (Shami Tiling) was a little camera shy, so instead we're showcasing some of the fabulous work owner Ben has won through the site.


Fake tradies: Be aware and alert

If there was ever a &ldquo;buyer beware&rdquo; story that will hit home about the importance of reading customer reviews before hiring a tradie &ndash; or any business &ndash; then this is it!


The pricing balancing act

Are our prices too low or too high? I&rsquo;m confused and need your help...


Business of the Week: ATD Electrical

Although ATD Electrical's win rate through ServiceSeeking.com.au is around 25%, Guy Jenkins says the business prides itself on only quoting on jobs they know they can do.</p> &nbsp;
