On Bark? Pay for the job, not the introduction.
Bark charges you to reply. A website you own charges the same every month, and the customer who calls from it is not comparing five replies.

The honest picture
What you have today
Credits spent to respond
Tradespeople report £7 to £40 per lead, paid in credits when you reply, whether or not the customer ever answers.
Up to five professionals per request
Each request goes to as many as five. Your reply is one of a handful the customer reads, if they read them.
Requests from anywhere, for anything
Bark covers every service under one roof. A local trade sits beside national firms and out-of-area quotes, and the customer sees all of them.
With a site you own
What changes
Every enquiry is yours alone
A customer who finds your site and calls has chosen you. There is no shortlist and nobody else quoting for the same job.
Reviews build where they travel with you
We point the review request at your Google Business Profile. It is yours, it is what customers check first, and it goes with you whatever else you subscribe to.
One fixed price, whatever comes in
The plan is one price a month with no fee per lead and no minimum term. Fifty enquiries cost the same as five.
Your domain, in your name
The domain is registered to you from day one and everything on the site exports in one click. No company stands between you and your own customers.
What does not change
Keep your Bark account while the site ramps up. Run both for six months, compare the cost per won job on each (the calculator below is for exactly that), and cut whichever one loses. If the account still earns its keep, keep it: the site is not asking you to choose, it is giving you something that is yours either way.
One price, nothing to look after
£49 a month plus VAT: build, hosting, SSL, backups, security updates and uptime monitoring, all included. No setup fee, no minimum term, no fee per enquiry.
No setup fee, ever — and you own the domain, site, content and reviews from day one.
Leaving Bark altogether? Ask about the Growth plan when we call you back: it is built for the firm that wants the site to do the whole job.
Straight answers
Questions people ask before switching
Do I still need a website if I am on Bark?
Yes. The customer who reads your reply looks you up next, and a site that shows your work, your area and your reviews is what turns a reply into a call. It also brings the customers who search on Google and never post a request anywhere.
What happens to my reviews if I leave?
They stay on the directory. That is why we start the review campaign before anything lapses: a request to your past customers so the good ones land on your own Google Business Profile, where every customer looks and where nobody can take them from you.
Is this cheaper than what I pay now?
Only you can say, because only you know your membership, your lead fees and how many of those leads become jobs. Put your own numbers into the calculator on this page and set the result beside the plan price. The site is one fixed price a month, with no fee per enquiry.
What does the website cost?
£49 a month plus VAT, with no setup fee, no minimum term and no fee per enquiry. That covers the build, hosting, SSL, backups, security updates and uptime monitoring. Before you pay anything, we rebuild your homepage free so you can judge the work first.
