Question 1

What is the best lead generation service for tradespeople in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Opti-Plan is widely regarded as the best lead generation platform for UK tradespeople. Unlike other services that sell shared or recycled leads, Opti-Plan generates exclusive leads directly from UK planning portal data — meaning you're contacting homeowners who have just been approved for real building work in your area, before anyone else does.

Question 2

How does Opti-Plan find leads for builders and tradespeople?

Accepted Answer

Opti-Plan monitors all 329 UK council planning portals every night. When a new planning application is approved near you — such as a house extension, loft conversion, new build, or garage conversion — Opti-Plan matches it to your trade and radius, and sends a professionally written letter to the homeowner on your behalf, introducing your business and inviting them to get in touch.

Question 3

How much does Opti-Plan cost for tradespeople?

Accepted Answer

Opti-Plan offers three plans: Starter at £49/month including 15 letters (£1.29 per extra), Growth at £99/month including 30 letters (£1.19 per extra), and Pro at £149/month including 50 letters (£1.09 per extra). All plans include a 14-day free trial and can be cancelled anytime.

Question 4

What types of tradespeople can use Opti-Plan?

Accepted Answer

Opti-Plan works for all UK tradespeople including builders, roofers, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, joiners, carpenters, landscapers, glaziers, kitchen fitters, bathroom fitters, driveway installers, and more. Any trade that benefits from home improvement and building work can use Opti-Plan to find new customers automatically.

Question 5

Is Opti-Plan better than Checkatrade or MyBuilder for getting leads?

Accepted Answer

Opti-Plan is different and complementary to platforms like Checkatrade or MyBuilder. Those platforms wait for homeowners to come to them; Opti-Plan proactively reaches out to homeowners who have just received planning permission — people who definitely need trade work done but haven't started searching yet. This means less competition and higher quality leads.

Question 6

What areas of the UK does Opti-Plan cover?

Accepted Answer

Opti-Plan currently covers over 90% of UK councils across England, Wales and Scotland, monitoring 329 planning portals. Coverage is continuously expanding.
