Trades and local services
A simple app for local trades and services
Local Traders gives plumbers, electricians and other local businesses a simple app of their own: what you do, your work, and one tap to call you.
Hand your link to every customer, and next time something needs fixing, your number is already on their phone.

How does it work?
Four steps, and your business is on your customers’ phones.
We set up your app
Your business gets its own app inside one of our shared apps, in your look and with the features you choose. You can change it yourself whenever you like.
You share your link
You get your own link and QR code to put on your website, your menus, your receipts and your social media.
Customers download it
The link takes them to the App Store or Google Play, whichever their phone uses. When they open the app, it opens on your business.
They keep coming back
If a customer follows links from more than one business, the app keeps each of them behind the heart on its home screen, so they can flip between them.
The one compromise: the icon on your customers’ phones is the shared app’s icon, not your own. If you want your own name and icon in the app stores, a corporate app gives you that. See corporate apps.
Questions about Local Traders
Can I change the app myself?
Yes. Each business gets its own login to the App Editor, so you can update your text, photos and sections whenever you like. We set it up with you first.
Will my app have its own icon on customers’ phones?
No: your customers download the shared app, so the icon on their phone is the shared app’s. Inside it, they see your business, in your look. If you want your own name and icon in the app stores, ask us about a corporate app.
Can my business be in our town’s app as well?
Yes. If your town has a town app from Our App, your business can have its app there too, alongside the rest of the high street. Ask us about it, or see town apps.
How much does it cost?
