Start with the right public profile
Claim only when the business identity is right. If the listing links the wrong business, shows data that isn't yours, or shouldn't be associated with you, 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.
The trader journey is operational from the start: claim the right record, keep the evidence honest, answer homeowners, and improve the public profile over time — and you can see that context before you sign in.

Once claimed, the trader workspace keeps profile basics, work photos, service areas, contact details, and any missing evidence attached to the same public record.
Homeowner messages arrive with project context, so you can respond directly to the people who want your trade.
Review requests, peer endorsements, credentials, 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, and ranking stays driven by public evidence.
MyTrustedTraders 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 registry-backed credentials, company records, 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.
Search for your business, then claim the profile only when the identity match is right.
