Relevant work first
Your trade and explicit service area decide which operational leads belong in your workspace.
Set your trade and service area, focus on the Jobs that fit, quote against the current brief and keep the customer, private handover, appointment, photos and completion in the same record.
What you get now
Your trade and explicit service area decide which operational leads belong in your workspace.
If the customer changes scope, the old quote cannot quietly stay acceptable. Review and reconfirm the current Job.
Propose the appointment, keep the conversation and private Job photos together, then move the same Job through completion.
Needs action, unread activity, active work and completed history stay visible without a second admin system.
Current tradie path
Set a real business/sole-trader name, primary trade and service area. One account can hold more than one workspace when needed.
Complete the minimum operational details required for matching. This does not silently publish or verify a public profile.
Review relevant leads, current Job scope/location and revision before deciding whether to quote or withdraw.
Private handover, participant conversation, appointment, photos, activity and work status stay attached to the Job you quoted.
Where Connect Hub is going
Public discovery is not live yet, but the direction is deliberate: customers should understand the person/business they are choosing, then continue into the exact same Job pipeline instead of falling into a disconnected lead form.
A sole trader or company should show the real primary person, services, areas and work proof without pretending every business looks the same.
The public profile/enquiry link is intended to work from Google Business Profile, social and email and feed the same Jobs pipeline.
A returning customer should be able to choose you again while old private site details remain protected and the new Job gets a fresh scope.
Visual direction only — not live or verified listings.
Illustrative trade categories
Truthful launch boundaries
Licence, insurance, identity or quality badges stay off until a real checking process and operator policy exist.
Billing and premium placement are not connected. Future monetisation must not make a worse match look better.
Quotes, replies, ratings and customer activity come from real participants; normal mode never generates fake marketplace activity.
Current lead matching is signed-in operational matching. Open provider discovery/search remains gated until public-surface controls are ready.
Set up the details needed for real matching and quoting now. Public profiles, verification and outside acquisition links can layer on later without replacing the Jobs workflow underneath.
