Refer a Mate and Help Grow Your Local Trade Network

Finding reliable customers is important, but so is building a strong network of reliable businesses around you.

That’s why ServiceSeeking has introduced Refer-a-Mate — a simple way for tradies and local service professionals to invite other quality businesses to join the platform.

What is Refer-a-Mate?

Refer-a-Mate lets ServiceSeeking tradies recommend other businesses and professionals they genuinely believe would be a good fit for the platform.

Know a great electrician, plumber, landscaper, cleaner, carpenter or other local professional who could benefit from finding new customers? You can refer them through ServiceSeeking.

It’s an easy way to help another business discover a new source of work while contributing to a stronger local marketplace.

Why refer another tradie?

When more genuine, quality professionals join ServiceSeeking.com.au, everyone can benefit.

For customers, it means greater choice when they’re looking for trusted professionals across different service categories and locations. For businesses, a stronger marketplace can create more opportunities to connect with customers looking for the services they provide.

Most importantly, Refer-a-Mate is about quality, not simply quantity. The best referrals are businesses you know are reliable, professional and capable of delivering a great service.

How does Refer-a-Mate work?

The process is straightforward:

1. Think of a business you trust — whether they’re a fellow tradie, local professional or service provider.
2. Recommend them through ServiceSeeking by submitting their details through the platform.
3. They can join ServiceSeeking and explore opportunities to connect with customers looking for their services.
4. You may earn from eligible referrals, giving you an extra reason to spread the word about a platform you already use.

It’s a simple way to turn your professional network into something that can benefit both you and the businesses you recommend.

Build your business beyond referrals

Refer-a-Mate is a great way to introduce quality professionals to ServiceSeeking, but if you’re looking to secure more jobs yourself, having access to relevant leads can make an even bigger difference.

With a ServiceSeeking business plan, you can put your business in front of customers actively looking for professional services. Instead of relying solely on word of mouth, you can create another avenue for finding work and keeping your pipeline moving.

The more consistently you quote on suitable jobs, the more opportunities you have to grow your customer base and build your reputation.

Ready to grow your local network?

If you know a reliable tradie or local service business that could benefit from finding new customers, Refer-a-Mate gives you an easy way to recommend them.

And when you’re ready to take a more proactive approach to finding quality leads yourself, explore ServiceSeeking’s business plans and discover how the platform can help you win more work.
