Advertise on TradeCheck
Reach homeowners at the exact moment they are checking whether a contractor is legitimate. That is a narrow, high-intent audience: someone holding a quote and deciding whether to sign it.
Why this audience is worth reaching
People do not browse a licensing register casually. They arrive here with a specific contractor in mind, or a specific job to hire for, usually within days of spending real money. We currently track 221,614 Texas trade licenses across 12 trades and every county in the state.
What you can buy
- Sponsored placement on county and trade pages relevant to your service area and trade, marked as advertising.
- Site advertising in the standard ad positions.
What you cannot buy, at any price
This part is not negotiable, and it is the reason the audience is worth anything at all.
- You cannot change your license record. Status, expiration date and license number are reproduced from the state file. If your license reads expired here, it reads expired in the state's file, and the fix is to renew it with the board, not to talk to us.
- You cannot move up the normal listings. They are ordered by expiry status and then name, identically for everyone.
- You cannot have your record removed, or an expired license hidden.
- You cannot buy an unlabelled placement. Every paid slot is marked.
A homeowner trusts this site because nobody can pay to look better on it. Sell that and the traffic stops being worth advertising to, so declining these is self-interest as much as principle.
Get in touch
Tell us your trade, your county or metro, and roughly what you want to spend, and we will tell you honestly whether we can reach the people you want yet.
Straight answer on scale: this site is new. If you need volume today, we are probably not your best spend, and we would rather say so than take your money.
