How it works

We do the checking, so you do not have to guess

ConnectBarcelona is not a directory you scroll and hope. Every professional here was met by a person, questioned by a person, and had their past clients phoned by a person. Then, and only then, we introduce them to you.

I need a pro I am a professional

The way it usually goes

You need someone competent this week. What you get instead is homework.

You ask around

Five group chats, three forums and a neighbour’s cousin. Everyone means well. Nobody has actually seen the work.
You read reviews you cannot trust

Ratings can be bought, traded and written by the business itself. You cannot tell which ones came from a real job.
You gamble anyway

You pick the one who answered fastest and find out how good they are once they are already in your flat.

If you need a pro

Four steps, and a person at each one

No bidding, no auction, no inbox full of strangers underbidding each other.

Tell us what you need

Pick a category and describe the job. A plumber in Eixample, a photographer in Born — that is enough to start.

We pick the right person

Not an algorithm ranking whoever paid most. We read your request and choose from professionals we have met ourselves.

You talk to them directly

We make the introduction and step out of the way. Price, timing and details are between you and the professional.

You tell us how it went

We come back after the job. Your answer is the only thing that can ever become a review on their page.

If you are the pro

Be found for being good, not for paying

You cannot buy a place here, and neither can the person competing with you.

You apply

Tell us who you are, what you do and where you work. A real person reads every application.

We call, then we check

First a call with us. Then we meet you, phone clients you have worked for, and check the qualifications you claim.

We write your page and send you work

You never touch a website. Requests reach you with the job already described, so the first call is about the work.

What we will not do

Anyone can promise quality. This is the part that is checkable — because it is a list of things we refuse.

No paid placement. Nobody appears higher, or at all, because they paid for it.
No reviews we did not collect. A professional cannot send us a testimonial and have it published. We ask the client ourselves, or nothing appears.
No bidding wars. You are not a lead sold to five people who then race to undercut each other.
No self-signup. There is no form that puts a professional on this site automatically. Every one of them was met first.
No badge without evidence. Verified means we saw the documents and spoke to the clients, not that a box was ticked.
No standing between you afterwards. Once you are introduced, you deal with each other directly.

Which side are you on?

I need something done

Tell us the job in a couple of lines. We come back with someone we have already checked, and we follow up afterwards to make sure it went well.

I do the work

If you are good at what you do and can show it, we would like to meet you. Applications are read by a person and answered with a time for a call.
