Start with the right public profile
Claim only when the business identity is right. If the listing is wrong, merged, harmful, or using the wrong source meaning, use trader rights instead.
If MyTrustedTraders has public evidence for your business, claiming gives you control of the profile, correction routes, and enquiries. It does not create credentials, buy rank, or turn thin evidence into proof.
No paid ranking, no lead auction, and no subscription to appear in the public record. Launch fees only apply after a double-confirmed work win.

The old React route made the trader journey feel operational: claim the right record, keep the evidence honest, answer homeowners, and improve the public profile over time. The TypeScript route now keeps that same context visible before a trader signs in.
Claim only when the business identity is right. If the listing is wrong, merged, harmful, or using the wrong source meaning, use trader rights instead.
Once claimed, the trader workspace keeps profile basics, work photos, service areas, contact details, and proof gaps attached to the same public record.
Homeowner messages arrive with project context. You are not bidding against other traders for the same lead, and payment cannot buy placement.
Review requests, peer endorsements, credentials, qualification gaps, and dashboard prompts help improve evidence without hiding source limitations.
The profile joins evidence from the public platforms where homeowners already judge you, instead of leaving each record isolated.
Registry, company, and credential evidence stays separate from imported reviews so the public record does not overclaim trust.
Peer endorsements from verified trade relationships are evidence homeowners can inspect. They are earned, not bought.
Homeowners contact you through the profile. Claiming is free, ranking is not for sale, and leads are not auctioned.
MTT can consolidate public review evidence, but imported reviews still show their origin and do not become native endorsements just because a profile is claimed.
Owner claim is separate from Gas Safe, NICEIC, Companies House, FMB, insurance, and other register-backed or business-identity evidence.
A trader can ask for correction, removal, source review, privacy handling, or wrong-profile separation without being pushed through the claim funnel first.
Traders should know the commercial rules before they claim. MTT can charge for confirmed workflow later, but the trust surface must stay proof-led and inspectable for homeowners.
Search for your business, then claim the profile only when the identity match is right.
