What are Oneflare Business Awards?

The Business Awards recognise excellence across two categories: Most Hired and Top Rated. Each award highlights different strengths and gives your profile an edge that converts browsers into customers.

Most Hired Business Award

The Most Hired Award recognises the business with the highest percentage of customers marking you as “Hired” in your industry and local area.

In other words, more customers are choosing you over your competitors, proving that your quotes stand out, your responses inspire trust, and your service delivers exactly what customers need.

With the Most Hired badge, you:

• Show you’re the most in-demand provider in your category
• Prove your quotes and responses consistently convert to jobs
• Gain visibility that makes it easier to secure even more work

Top Rated Business Award

The Top Rated Award celebrates businesses that consistently deliver outstanding customer experiences, maintaining an average rating of 4.5 stars or higher throughout the year.

With only one winner per industry in each state or territory, this badge is a mark of excellence recognised by real customers.

With the Top Rated badge, you:

• Prove your service consistently meets or exceeds customer expectations
• Build your profile with strong, trustworthy reviews
• Show new clients they can expect the same 5-star experience

How to win a Oneflare Business Award

To win a Oneflare Business Award, you need to do more than show up and send out quotes. Start with these four tips to give yourself the best chance.

Stay active and quote strategically

Customers often hire the first qualified business that responds, so log in daily and send quotes quickly when you see relevant jobs in your area. However, don’t disappear after hitting send!

Instead, check the platform regularly to answer any follow-up questions, clarify project details, or provide additional information the customer might need. 

More importantly, be specific in your quotes. Explain your specific process, mention similar projects you’ve completed, and directly address what the customer is asking for. 

Tip: A thoughtful, detailed quote that speaks to their exact needs will consistently outperform a generic copy-paste template sent to dozens of listings.

Deliver exceptional service

Arrive on time, communicate clearly, and treat every customer’s space and belongings with respect. This means cleaning up your work area, clearly explaining what you’re doing, and following up after the job is complete.

Going beyond expectations means being proactive when you identify issues and ensuring the entire experience is smooth and stress-free.

Request detailed reviews

Request a review after completing the work, when the customer has expressed satisfaction. Make it part of your routine: “If you’re happy with the results, a review on Oneflare would really help my business.” 

While you’re at it, ask permission to photograph the finished work for your portfolio. Most customers are happy to say yes, and those before-and-after shots can prove your quality on your profile.

Keep your profile updated

Upload high-quality photos of your actual work showing before-and-after results and attention to detail. Update your service descriptions to be specific about what you specialise in, your approach, and what makes your business different.

Also, don’t forget to include certifications, insurance details, and guarantees.
