Finding suitable service providers for an upcoming project can sometimes turn into an odyssey. Whether it's a tradesperson for a new roof or a guitar teacher for a new hobby, Listando wants to turn that odyssey into a relaxed short trip where users and service providers find each other quickly and easily.
A test of patience – the search for the needle in a haystack
Whenever we need a service provider, our path usually leads us first to family and friends. "Do you know anyone who…" is a question you've probably already asked or heard. If you don't find anyone this way, you have no choice but to search yourself.
And that usually means lengthy research; after all, you don't want the first provider you come across, but one that fits you and your budget. Google now provides an overview, but it's very limited if you want to take a closer look at individual companies or experts. There is no overview of services, prices, or a way to contact them directly. For more detailed information you still have to visit each individual website, and contacting them is done via email or a phone call.
That brings us to the next snag: many companies or service providers don't have their own website. For a guitar teacher it probably isn't worth it. And a personal trainer will market themselves more via social media channels like Instagram. In that case you have no choice but to search different platforms and trust your gut. Your gut feeling should of course always be taken into account, but it doesn't replace a clear overview and a first impression. Let alone the time you have to invest in your search.
Listando offers a solution for both sides
The Listando platform is far more than a job portal. Here the offering is not limited to an industry like „the trades“ reduced, but a variety of frequently sought-after service providers are under one roof. The goal is to be able to offer a selection of experts for every region of Germany to make the search-and-find process as pleasant as possible for service providers and users.
Benefits for people searching on Listando
You're getting married and need a wedding photographer and, ideally, also a DJ and catering service. Or various tradespeople for a comprehensive renovation project. Basically it doesn't matter what scale you're searching at — it always involves effort. The bigger the project, the more confusing it becomes.
Listando wants to make the path from searching to placing an order as easy as possible for you. Whether you are looking for an electrician, personal trainer, photographer, or hypnotist – on Listando.de you can quickly and easily search for suitable service providers nearby. So, if you are looking for an expert in your region (or beyond), you will be shown a list of all registered businesses. In the preview, you will already get an insight into the overall rating, a short introduction to the expert, and their price.
Each individual expert has a profile you can click on directly. There you get an even more detailed impression:
- Prices & reviews
- an overview of all services
- Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs)
- Images and work portfolios
- A way to contact them directly through the profile
So you not only have all the important information at a glance, but you also avoid having to send five different emails to five different addresses. With your user profile you can contact all experts directly and keep all communication on one page. You can also receive an SMS when someone messages you, if you wish, so you’re always up to date.
If you want, you can also post a job on your profile instead of contacting all experts individually. That way businesses and experts can message you directly if they want to take on your job. Get non-binding quotes and then take your time deciding who fits you and your project best.
