How Goodword works
Ask the people you know for a name, instead of the internet. One text, your own phone, and a vouch with a real name on it.
If you need someone
- Say what you need and pick the trade. Goodword writes the text for you.
- It goes to your twelve: the people whose word you trust. It leaves from your phone, one person at a time, so nobody gets a text from a stranger.
- Answers come back as vouches. Each one carries the name of the person who gave it and why.
- Pick one. The pro gets an intro, and you get their number the moment they accept.
- You never pay.
If a friend asks you
- Only vouch for someone you know. Say honestly whether you have used them yourself.
- Your name goes on it. The friend sees who vouched and why; nobody else does.
- If the pro accepts the intro, you get $5 by Stripe payout. Not points, not credit. Money, every time your word leads to a job.
- In regulated trades (lending, insurance, law, health) there is no payment to vouchers. Your name is the thanks.
If you are the pro
- Set up your card once: business name, what you do, where you work. That is it. No profile to polish, no reviews to chase.
- When someone vouches for you, the intro comes to your phone. Accept or decline. Declining costs nothing.
- Accept and you pay for that intro: $25, or $15 once five people have vouched for you, or $10 at fifteen. A lead site charges more for a stranger who filled out a form. This one came with a name on it.
- Your dashboard keeps the record: who vouched, what they said, which intros became jobs. Share your Goodword link with happy customers and they can vouch on the spot.
What Goodword is not
No feed. No follower counts. No ads. No paying for a better spot in the answers. A vouch is worth something only because it cannot be bought, so nothing here is for sale except the intro.
The money, in one line
The asker pays nothing. The pro pays only on Accept. $5 of that goes to the one person who vouched. Goodword keeps the rest.
