HIGHVIS VS MYBUILDER:
WHAT TRADESPEOPLE ACTUALLY GET.
A frank, evidence-based breakdown of costs, control, and ROI. No marketing fluff — just the data to help you make the right call for your business and your bottom line.
WHAT IS MYBUILDER?
MyBuilder is a UK tradespeople directory and lead marketplace. Homeowners post jobs, and tradespeople pay to express interest — the homeowner then picks who to invite to quote. You pay per expression of interest, before you even get to speak to the customer, with no guarantee of getting the job.
You pay to express interest in a job — before the homeowner has chosen you, before you've quoted, and before you've done any work.
The homeowner receives multiple expressions of interest and picks who to invite. You can be rejected after paying.
MyBuilder's reputation is heavily dependent on public reviews — but those reviews live on MyBuilder's platform, not on Google where it matters for search rankings.

|---|---|---|
| Monthly Cost | From £495 (flat) | £100–£500+ in expression fees |
| Lead Ownership | 100% yours, exclusive | Not guaranteed — you're shortlisted |
| Cost Before Quoting | £0 — they come to you | £3–£25 per interest expression |
| Assets Owned | Website, domain, leads, data | Zero — fees are spent, not owned |
| Review Portability | Google reviews you own forever | MyBuilder reviews stay on MyBuilder |
THE ANTI-AGENCY ADVANTAGE: BUILDING ASSETS YOU ACTUALLY OWN
LEAD EXCLUSIVITY
Every lead that comes through your HighVis marketing engine belongs to you exclusively. There's never been a scenario in our model where two trades in the same area receive the same lead. The model doesn't exist in a world where that happens.
THE COST OF RENTING
When you pay a directory, you're renting visibility. The moment you stop paying, your reviews disappear, your listing goes, the trust you built is gone. It's like renting a house — when you leave, you take nothing with you.
ASSET LONGEVITY
Everything we build increases in value. A website indexed for 2 years builds domain authority. A Google Business Profile with 50+ reviews becomes a competitive moat. Blog content ranks for keywords that deliver passive leads. These are assets that compound.
