Thought I'd give something new a try but received nothing but dud leads. Gave it a break for a while then thought (stupidly) why not try again just to give them a chance. Guess what - same result - absolutely nothing. Most of the leads never even bother to interact, some don't even see the quotes but you can't get refunds on those that don't. Don't waste your money - I'm sure 90% of these are absolutely fake leads with no intention of ever booking.

Hi Dave,

I'm sorry to hear you've not been having success on the Oneflare platform.

To increase your chances of getting in touch with customers, I'd encourage you to quote on 'Verified' leads. This means the customer has gone out of their way to confirm their contact details are correct and will be more likely to respond.

Updating your profile with your trade-specific qualifications, photos of past work, insurances and inviting customers to leave a review for you after you've completed their job, will encourage potential customers to get in touch more often as well.

All businesses on Oneflare will receive a refund if the customer lets us know they're no longer going ahead with the job. Additionally, if you're a Premium business, you can also request refunds for unresponsive customers.

Send us an email at support@oneflare.com if you'd like to discuss this further.

We made the mistake of signing up to Easy Weddings during a period of significant flux for our business and it was the worst decision we have made in 13 years in the industry in Queensland. The site boasts vast amounts of traffic, doubtless swelled by their top-of-the-page ranking on just about every bridal search (clearly funded by the exorbitant fees paid by vendors) and we took the second tier of advertising, being promised "more enquiries per month than you will be able to service". What a joke! In a year we received a total of 5 enquiries (despite being boosted to the top tier service for the last three months of the contract after we complained), all of whom were completed price motivated and uninterested even by our highly competitive rates. We couldn't wait to be finished with them and asked for our page to be taken down as we did not wish to imply any form of endorsement, however, despite a number of times of asking, it was not, and, to our horror, a year later one of our brides, (who thought she was doing us a favour) left a 5 star review on our page which was automatically downgraded to a 3 star review thanks to Easy Wedding 's policy for "non-advertisers". This fake rating review has been picked up by Google, massively damaging our reputation and causing several couples to choose another provider. Despite 6 attempts to contact this organisation over 2 years I have still not had the offending page removed and although I have had some contact and promises of action recently (though only I threatened to attend one of their sales pitches in Brisbane), they have simply redirected the page and left the information searchable by Google's robots and therefore still poisoning my business.

Hi Dave, we do not have a "review policy for non-advertisers", this is simply not the case. All of our reviews are what the user has chosen to rate a supplier, regardless of whether they choose to advertise with us.

If a user rates you as three stars, we show the review as three stars. If you need clarification on our reviews process, please give us a call on 1800 155 122.

Thanks for your comments about our keyword rankings, we've worked to strengthen our rankings over the past 19 years to ensure traffic to our suppliers.
