How we make money
How FourBest Makes Money
Three ways, all visible on the page. None of them changes who is in a four, the order, the ribbons or the quick choice.
Where the money comes from
| Source | What it is | Changes the four? |
|---|---|---|
| Quote requests | A business pays a fee when you choose to send it a request | No |
| Enhanced profiles | Extra photos, project gallery and reports for claimed businesses | No |
| Sponsored boxes | A labelled spot outside the grid, marked “Sponsored” | No |
Your contact details only go to the businesses you tick, named in the form before you send.
FAQ: who pays us
Who pays FourBest?
Businesses, three ways: a fee per quote request you choose to send, enhanced profiles, and labelled sponsored boxes. Homeowners pay nothing.
Can a business pay for a better spot in the four?
No. Fees never enter the score. Who makes the four, the order, the ribbons and the quick choice come from the published weights only.
Are sponsored companies part of the grid?
No. A sponsored box sits outside the grid, marked “Sponsored”, and never takes one of the four places.
Do you sell my details?
No. Your request goes only to the businesses you tick, named in the form before you send.
