Questions
What does it cost to join?
Nothing during the founding period. Founding businesses get a free verified listing while SoukLocal launches in Dubai. We will publish our paid plans before anyone is asked to pay, and no one is moved to a paid plan without signing up for it.
What do you need from me?
Your trade licence, the areas you serve, a contact person on WhatsApp, and photos of real projects you have completed. For contracting work in Dubai we also check your Dubai Municipality Contractor Register status.
How do customers reach me?
Customers tap Chat on WhatsApp or Call on your listing, or send a quote request that goes to up to 3 matching businesses. Each enquiry shows in your dashboard so you can see what your listing brings in.
Can I pay to appear first?
No. Search results are ranked by published rules: relevance to the job, distance, verification status and reviews. Any paid placement in future will be labelled Sponsored and kept separate from the results.
Can I remove a bad review?
No. You can reply publicly to any review, and you can report a review that breaks our review policy, for example if it is not about a real job. We never remove reviews for payment.
