Relevant local providers can respond with pricing, availability, and next steps.
03
Compare options, check reviews, and hire the provider that fits the brief.
Proof and reviews now sit ahead of category browsing, not after it.
Trust and proof
Cockatoo still gives people directory pages, guides, and category discovery. The homepage now treats them as support surfaces, not the main job-to-be-done.

The flow is built around submitting one clear brief instead of browsing listings first.
Quotes, reviews, and planning content work together so the decision is easier to make.
Categories, guides, and location pages still help when you need more context before posting.

Fantastic service. I posted a leaking tap at lunch, had two clear quotes that afternoon, and the plumber cleaned up before leaving.

The cost guides were actually useful. We set the budget first, briefed properly, and the quotes that came back were far more comparable.

We needed a plumber and electrician in the same week. Cockatoo made it easy to compare specialists instead of chasing referrals one by one.

We used the design inspiration and then hired through the same flow. It helped us avoid an expensive change once the cabinetry quotes landed.
