By simplifying the connection between those who need work done and those who have the expertise to do it, Amber Advertising ensures that quality craftsmanship is never more than a few clicks away.

In this guide, we will walk you through the end-to-end process of using our platform, ensuring you get the most out of every feature, from the intuitive booking flow to the robust business management tools.

How Amber Advertising Works for Homeowners

Finding a reliable tradesperson shouldn’t be a stressful ordeal. We have revolutionised the process to ensure transparency and ease of use. Here is how you can find a tradesperson and complete your project with confidence.

1. Searching and Discovery

Your journey begins on our intuitive search interface. You can filter by trade, location, and specific project requirements. Because we prioritise quality, every profile you encounter on the Amber Advertising platform is verified to ensure you are viewing legitimate, vetted professionals. Whether you are looking for a plumber, electrician, or a landscaping specialist, our search tools allow you to compare portfolios and read genuine customer reviews.

2. The Booking Flow

Once you have identified a professional who meets your criteria, the Amber Advertising booking flow is designed for simplicity. Instead of endless back-and-forth phone calls, you can view the tradesperson's live availability calendar directly on their profile. Select a date and time that fits your schedule, provide a brief description of the work required, and submit your request.

3. Communication and Confirmation

After booking, you will gain access to our secure messaging system. This allows you to share photos, discuss project specifications, and confirm any specific requirements before the tradesperson arrives. Keeping all correspondence within the platform ensures that you have a clear paper trail, providing peace of mind throughout the project lifecycle.

How Amber Advertising Works for Tradespeople

If you are a professional looking to scale your operations, Amber Advertising provides the infrastructure you need to be seen by the right customers. Our platform is built to help you spend less time on administration and more time on the tools.

1. Getting Started: List Your Business

The first step is to list your business on Amber Advertising. Creating your profile is the foundation of your digital presence. You should aim to be as comprehensive as possible; upload high-quality images of your past work, list your specific certifications, and set your service radius. A well-optimised profile is the best way to convert potential leads into paying customers.

2. Managing Your Workflow via the Dashboard

Once you are live, you will gain access to your Amber Advertising dashboard. This is the "mission control" for your business. From this central hub, you can:

• Manage Appointments: Sync your availability calendar to ensure you are never double-booked.
• View Leads: Receive instant notifications when a homeowner wants to book your services.
• Track Earnings: Monitor your completed jobs and pending payments in one organised space.

We believe in supporting the long-term success of our trade partners. By opting for an Amber Advertising membership, you unlock advanced features designed to boost your visibility. Beyond lead generation, we encourage our partners to utilise our Amber Advertising Print Shop to create branded business cards and site signage, further establishing your authority in the local market. Furthermore, if you are looking to upskill, you can access our Amber Academy to stay ahead of industry standards and regulatory changes.
