ServiceSeeking is a site where paying businesses can contact and quote on jobs that homeowners post. Its own terms say you can cancel future payments at any time, that payments are non-refundable at the time you pay, and that unused prepaid time is not refunded. We could not find a published membership price or a limit on how many businesses can quote one job.
This is as at November 2026, from ServiceSeeking’s own terms and conditions and business page. Check their pages for current prices and terms before you pay.
How ServiceSeeking charges
Per its terms, paying businesses hold a membership. Members are entitled to contact and offer quotes to users who have submitted a job listing, limited to listings that match the industry and location settings on the account.
The business page we read did not give a price or say how businesses pay. The only figures on it are a marketing claim, that ServiceSeeking sent local businesses 180,710 job leads worth $25.9 million in the last 12 months, and a count of leads available at the time. That is a claim about volume. It does not tell you what a membership costs or how many other businesses see each job.
How many businesses quote a job
We could not find a published number. That is the most important question for any lead site, because every extra business on a job lowers your odds of winning it. Ask ServiceSeeking for the number in writing, and ask whether it differs by trade or job size. For how to think about it, see shared leads and how many businesses is too many.
Cancelling and refunds, in its own terms
- You can stop future payments at any time from the products page while logged in. Access continues until the expiry date shown there.
- If that fails, you can email support. The email must arrive at least 2 business days before the next billing date.
- Subject to the Australian Consumer Law, all products and services are non-refundable at the time payment is made.
- Prepaid, unused membership time is not refunded.
- Other refunds are at ServiceSeeking’s discretion. Approved refunds are paid within 60 business days.
- Access can be suspended if a business receives more than 2 negative feedback ratings or complaints from other users in total.
The practical points are the notice date and the strike rule. Diarise the billing date, and know that a run of complaints can end your access. Terms can change, so read the current version when you sign up.
How it compares with hipages
hipages charges a monthly membership with credits and caps each lead at 3 businesses. It also starts with a 6 month introductory term, then 12 months, as at November 2026. ServiceSeeking’s terms describe cancelling future payments at any time, which on its face is a lighter commitment. But because we could not find its prices or its business cap, we cannot compare cost per job fairly. See what hipages costs for tradies and lead sites for tradies compared.
Who it suits
A site like this suits a business with spare capacity that is happy to quote many small and mid-sized jobs, and that can reply within minutes. It is less suited to a business that only wants a few bigger jobs and cannot spend unpaid hours pricing them. If most of your work is renovations, extensions or similar, see renovations and extensions.
PreBuild Systems works differently: we run ads, ring every homeowner who enquires, check six things and send each one to one business only. It is for jobs worth $5,000 or more, so it does not suit small jobs. See how it works.
What to work out before you pay
Do the sums on your own numbers first. As an example only: if a membership cost you a set amount each month and you won one job in four that you quoted, you would need to know how many quotes the membership actually gets you each month, and how many hours each takes, to see what a signed job costs. Without the number of businesses per job, you are guessing the win rate.
Also ask what happens to your account if a homeowner leaves a poor rating you think is unfair, because the strike rule above puts your access at risk. Then decide how many weeks you will give it, and put the date in your diary.
