How listings help you reach clients directly

No middleman and no commission: how a Help Barter listing puts you in front of people near you and lets them contact you in one tap.

The best client is the one who contacts you directly. Marketplaces that sit between you and your customers take a commission and keep the relationship. A Help Barter listing does the opposite.

Every way to reach you, in one place

A Business Listing puts a Get in touch box at the very top: website, email, call, WhatsApp, address and map, in the order people actually try them. A Profile Listing does the same for freelancers and professionals, with a Hire me section for your rate and what you deliver.

Shown to the people nearest you

Boards show listings from a member's own country and region first. A plumber in Leeds, a tutor in Bengaluru or a bakery in Toronto is seen first by the people who can actually use them.

Show what you sell

Business Listings hold up to 24 products or services, each with photos, specs, a price and your own button — "Book a lesson", "Order now", "Get a quote". Customers can act without sending a message first.

Stand out

  • A Board Feature puts your listing at the top of its board with a Premium badge.
  • A Featured Ad gives an offer its own card with a button.
  • A Coupon Listing puts a discount in front of shoppers looking for deals.

Trusted, because the admin team monitors all listings

Admin team monitors all listings. That keeps the boards free of spam, which is why people trust what they find there.

No commission

When a client contacts you, the conversation and the sale are yours. Help Barter takes nothing from it.
