Knowabloke

Frequently Asked Questions

"What is Knowabloke?"

In a nutshell, Knowabloke is an invite only, local business directory.

"Invite Only?"

Yes, unlike other business directories we don't want unknown companies coming to us to advertise their services. Our members hear many good things about many good, local, businesses and we then talk to these businesses and ask them if they would like to offer their services to our members.

"So every company listed is known to you?"

Every company that we list has been recommended and used by members, their families and friends.

"How come every company has 4's and 5's in their ratings?"

Don't forget these are companies that have come highly recommended by actual paying customers. We don't just list anyone, these are the cream of the crop in Gloucestershire.

"How would a company get listed?"

If we hear good things about someone or some business then we would approach them and ask if they wished to advertise on our site to the rest of our member base as well as to the general public that browse the site.

"Why would a company want to be listed?"

An ancient proverb states that a good name is to be chosen rather than great riches implying that word of mouth and personal recommendations is a very powerful commodity. Some of your best leads are referred to you by satisfied customers. All companies listed on our web site have been recommended and referred to us by our members and not some faceless marketing department.

“What feedback would Knowabloke provide to my company?”

We are introducing a system whereby registered members of our web site will be allowed to comment and rank any of our listed services after they have used them. Every month we can supply you with your comments, your rankings and how many visitors “clicked through” from our web site onto yours.

“Can’t my competition come and leave false comments?”

We do not allow just anyone to register. All members are carefully vetted to ensure they are who they say they are so if someone has a genuine grievance then you can speak to them directly to address this if you so wish.
