TradeRated

TradeRated (traderated.com) was built from the truck, not the corner office. Instead of the text blasts and email drips most platforms rely on, it captures reviews in person — a 30-second QR scan at the door, while the customer is still impressed — and locks each one to a real job with GPS, timestamp, and technician proof. That makes the reviews FCC- and Google-compliant, hard to fake, and easy to defend from the review vault if Google ever pulls one. Add referral tracking, crew leaderboards, and a dedicated SEO microsite, and every job compounds into future leads — already running across 500-plus trades businesses at an 83% on-site capture rate.

A platform that helps contractors build trust needs a site that earns it from the first click. CI Web Group built TradeRated on Hydra OS, our AI-first, database-free platform — fast, secure, and structured around how it works, who it's for, and the results it drives, so contractors searching for a better way to manage reviews find it in both Google and the AI assistants they now ask first.

It's all built on Hydra OS: a database-free architecture dramatically faster and harder to hack than a traditional WordPress site, with an intelligence layer that keeps it optimizing itself.
