yours is the first one she reads
Donna has one number, and it is yours. First back usually wins the work.
From the van, the sofa and the desk
The electrician between jobs
“Anyone know a decent electrician? Half the sockets upstairs have gone.”
Text lands at 08:13. He replies from the van at a red light, books the visit for the afternoon, and is fitting the socket before the thread hits ten comments.
The plumber on a Sunday night
“Boiler has packed in and we have a newborn. Anyone know a plumber who does emergencies?”
Text lands at 21:40. One reply with a number and a time, and he is on the drive within the hour. The kind of job that turns into the whole street.
The mortgage adviser working remotely
“First time buyer here, does anyone know a broker who is good with self employed?”
Scout watches the busiest group in the town she serves. She replies with one sentence and a booking link, and the first appointment is in the diary before lunch.

Scout never stores the post or the person’s name. The alert goes to you only.
Why it beats advertising
Where the work actually gets asked for.
The local groups where people say “anyone recommend” before they search.
First, not twentieth.
A text within minutes with a link to the post, before the replies pile up.
Your group, your call.
One public group, the one that matters most. Swap it any time in your portal.
Common questions
No. You reply, as yourself. Scout gets you there first.
It reads public groups you belong to, stores nothing about the poster, and sends the alert to you only.
Up to six a day. Most businesses see a handful a week.
One public Facebook group you are already a member of, for now. Swap it any time in your portal.
