A simple, physical system that puts your trade business in local homes before the emergency happens — and keeps you there all year.
Keep Me Card is not a lead platform. It is a visibility system. Here is exactly how it works for your trade business.
Choose the local area you want to dominate. We check availability — one trade per category per area, no exceptions. If your slot is free, we hold it for you while your application is reviewed.
Every advertiser goes through our vetting process before appearing on the card. Once approved, we build your online profile and prepare your listing for the printed card. You approve everything before it goes to print.
Each year, a printed Keep Me Card is hand-delivered to thousands of homes across your area. Your name, your number, your trade — and no competitor alongside you. Homeowners keep the card on the fridge, in the kitchen drawer, stuck to the noticeboard.
Most advertising reaches people who are not yet looking. Most directories reach people who are already comparing five options. Keep Me Card does something different: it puts your business into the home before the emergency, so when something goes wrong, you are already the trusted answer.
A printed card on the fridge or in the kitchen drawer is seen hundreds of times over the course of a year. No algorithm decides whether to show it. No ad budget determines its visibility.
When the boiler fails at 10pm or the roof starts leaking after a storm, homeowners reach for what they already have. Your number is already there. They call you first — not a comparison site.
Only one plumber, one electrician, one roofer on each card edition. Your category is yours. The homeowner has no alternative number to call for your trade in your area.
Most advertising platforms for trades are built to extract value from you — per click, per lead, per month. Keep Me Card is built differently.
