Lead generation for UK trades that ends in
booked surveys — not shared leads.
MyTradeBuddy generates demand for UK trade businesses with targeted local ads, qualifies every enquiry on area, timing, job type and intent, and follows up by phone, SMS and email until a survey is booked in your calendar. One business per area. You pay per booked survey, not per lead.
What is exclusive lead generation for trades?
Exclusive lead generation means the demand is created for one business, in one area, and never resold. MyTradeBuddy runs the ads, qualifies each homeowner with AI, chases every enquiry until it books or says no, and delivers the result as a confirmed survey in your calendar.

From local ad to booked survey, step by step
1. Demand is generated for you
We run targeted local ads for your trade in your area. The demand is created for your business alone — one business per patch, nothing resold.
2. Every enquiry is qualified
The AI qualifies each homeowner on area, timing, job type and intent — and for bigger installs, questions like fuel type — before anything reaches you.
3. Follow-up until an outcome
The AI calls each enquiry, then SMS and email sequences chase until the homeowner books, reschedules, or says no. Nothing goes cold in an inbox.
4. A survey lands in your calendar
The result is a qualified homeowner with a confirmed slot in your diary. That booked survey is what you pay for — if nothing books, you do not pay.
Exclusive demand vs bought leads and directories
We have compared the five big directories in detail — Checkatrade or Trust a Trader — and the wider options in Checkatrade alternatives for UK trades. The short version:
Priced per booked survey — not per lead, not per month
You pay when a qualified homeowner is confirmed in your calendar. Not for clicks, not for form fills, not for shared contact details — and if nothing books, you do not pay. The rate is quoted for your trade and area, because a boiler survey and a roof survey are not worth the same and a flat national price would be wrong for one of them.
There are no contracts and no minimum commitments — you can stop at any time. If our checks show an enquiry was fake, the survey can be credited towards the next one, assessed case by case. And because we run one business per area, taking on your patch means turning away your competitors. See pricing for how the plans are structured.
Demand built around real jobs, not clicks
Generic marketing produces generic enquiries. The ads, qualification questions and follow-up are built around the jobs your trade actually quotes and books.

No. You pay per booked survey — a qualified homeowner with a confirmed slot in your calendar. Leads are the input, not the product.
We run one business per area. The enquiries generated for your patch go to you and nobody else — they are never resold or shared with other companies.
Bought leads are usually sold to several companies at once, so you race to reply first and quote lowest. Here the demand is generated for your business alone, qualified on area, timing, job type and intent, and followed up until it books or says no.

A booked survey: a qualified homeowner confirmed in your calendar. Not clicks, not form fills, not shared contact details. If nothing books, you do not pay for it.
We charge per booked survey rather than per lead or per month, and quote the rate for your trade and area — a boiler survey and a roof survey are not worth the same, so a flat national price would be wrong for one of them. The fair comparison with any alternative is cost per booked job over a real month, not headline cost per lead.
No. There are no contracts and no minimum commitments — you can stop at any time. If our checks show an enquiry was fake, the survey can be credited towards the next one, assessed case by case.
Lead generation is one part of the system
Demand only pays off when every call is answered and every enquiry is chased. Lead generation works alongside the other two systems.
