How We're Different
What Makes TrustPatrick.com Different From A Random Search Engine Result or Other Online Directories?
When we go to a search engine and look for a contractor for a home improvement project, what we get is a random list of results. It's a mix of paid advertisers, random companies and online directories.
But how do we know which if the results are honest, trustworthy and experienced?
We don't!
We often rely on reviews and reviews are certainly part of the equation when finding a good company, but only a small part of the overall equation. We can't rely on reviews alone. Many homeowners have reported choosing a company based on reviews only to be severely disappointed. Again, reviews are only part of the recipe in finding a good contractor.
If we take it 1 step further and click through to an online directory, we still don't know if those results are are honest, trustworthy and experienced companies.
Many of these online directories claim they "pre-screen" and "background check" the companies they send to homeowners. But do they? We can't say one way or another whether they do or not, or to what degree, but here's what we can say...
If these other online directories are so reliable, why is that when we perform background checks on the same companies they have listed with their network, a vast amount of them are declined by TrustPatrick.com? Companies that would never, ever be approved to be listed on TrustPatrick.com are readily available on many of the other online directories.
That's a problem. It still requires us as users to be cautious when choosing who to do business with.
What's the point of providing an online directory if the results are still a crap shoot?
In the end, if we want to make sure we get a good quality job, we still have to perform in depth research of the companies that are presented to us i order to protect ourselves. That's a lot of work. Not insurmountable but still, a lot of work.
