Claim Your Profile

Homeowners and AI assistants can read your public profile. Claiming is a free way to confirm that you manage it and correct the facts you control. Your account and claim are created together: verify the email we send you, then we check the business contact evidence and either open your dashboard or send the claim for team review.

Public evidence

Imported evidence stays visible

Review sources, source names, and profile evidence keep their origin visible after claim. We do not turn imported public evidence into a native MyTrustedTraders endorsement.

Owner control

Claim means control, not verification

Claiming lets an authorised trader manage the MyTrustedTraders profile, respond to enquiries, and correct weak profile data. It does not create a licence, insurance badge, or workmanship approval.

Direct enquiries

No lead auction before contact

A claimed business profile can receive structured homeowner enquiries through the workspace without bidding against other businesses for the same contact.

Fair economics

Paid tools cannot buy trust

Ranking, badges, and visible evidence stay evidence-led. Paid workflow tools cannot buy placement, hide review context, or create trust badges.

How this works

Claim the profile without changing what the evidence means.

This page is designed to make the business model, owner-control rules, and public evidence meaning clear before you submit. Everything you see on your public profile keeps source names visible and stays evidence-led after claiming.

  • Claim the profile, control its details, and receive homeowner enquiries directly.
  • Owner claim is shown separately from practitioner registers, business identity, insurance, and review depth.
  • Correction, removal, and wrong-profile disputes stay in the profile-rights process so commercial pressure from traders does not decide evidence meaning.
  • The dashboard opens with public evidence, imported reviews, and the next practical improvements to make the profile quote-ready with current evidence.
What claim changes

You can manage the public profile

After claim, the trader can keep profile basics accurate, add work photos, respond to homeowner enquiries, request reviews, and work through verification from one dashboard. That control is the point of the claim route.

What claim never changes

Evidence meaning stays separate

A claimed business profile never replaces a trade register, company identity check, insurance document, source review count, or peer endorsement. The profile still has to explain which evidence came from which source.

What MyTrustedTraders protects

Trust cannot be bought at login

Workflow tools and future analytics cannot change search rank, badge meaning, imported review visibility, or whether missing evidence is shown to homeowners. That promise belongs on the claim page before sign-up, when the trader decides whether MyTrustedTraders is a fair place to manage the profile.

What happens next

Submit, verify your email, then follow the clear next step.

We send a verification link to the account email. Once verified, a match with current business contact evidence can open the dashboard; otherwise our team reviews the claim. Profile management opens only after approval, then keeps enquiries, review requests, and evidence improvements together.

  1. Find or confirm your public profile link.
  2. Tell us who is authorised to manage the profile.
  3. Review the public evidence summary before submitting.
  4. Verify your account email from the link we send you.
  5. After approval, use the dashboard to correct profile basics, photos, enquiries, and verification details.

Create an account with your claim

Create an account when you submit, then verify its email. We compare that verified address with current business contact evidence; if that is not enough, our team will review the claim.

  • Public review evidence keeps its source visible.
  • Owner claim stays separate from licences and insurance.
  • Ranking and visible badges remain evidence-led, not payment-led.
