Send photos. Get marketing. Done.
Send your photos
Open WhatsApp and send your photos directly to Proofolio. Before and after shots, finished results, product photos, progress images — whatever you have.
We generate your content
We create your professional image cards, write captions for every platform, and put together a short video — all ready to post.
Delivered on WhatsApp
Your image cards, captions, and short-form video are delivered back to the same WhatsApp conversation — usually within a few minutes.
Submitted to Google
Your own portfolio page goes live automatically and is submitted to Google for you. It is set up so Google can read it, so that when someone checks you out, there is something to find.
No setup. No learning curve. No faff.
No login. No password. No app download. No dashboard. If you can send a WhatsApp message, your business can run Proofolio.
Why most small businesses never get round to marketing
You are brilliant at what you do. But finding the time to photograph it, write about it, and post it consistently? That is the bit nobody has time for.
The Old Way
- •Wasting evenings: Sitting on your laptop trying to write engaging captions and search hashtags after a 10-hour shift.
- •Expensive agencies: Paying a social media manager or agency hundreds a month for posts that could belong to any business, not yours.
- •Complex website builders: Dragging-and-dropping desktop tools that look broken on mobile anyway.
- •No lead tracking: Missing enquiries because contact forms go to an email inbox you never check.
Result: Time wasted every week on things you hate — and still no consistent online presence.
The Proofolio Way
- ✓WhatsApp native: If you can send a photo on WhatsApp, you can do your entire marketing in under a minute.
- ✓Instant automation: Professional image cards, ready-to-post captions for every platform, and a short video — all done for you while you get on with your day.
- ✓Submitted to Google: Your own portfolio page is set up so Google can read it. We send it to Google for you, in the background.
- ✓Lead routing: Every enquiry through your portfolio page lands straight in your WhatsApp. No email inbox to check.
Result: 60 seconds per job. Everything else is done for you.
Where Your Enquiries Come From
Keep every lead source you have. Get more out of all of them.
Checkatrade, Bark, Rated People, Nextdoor, a sign on your vehicle, a neighbour’s recommendation — they all do the same job. They put your name in front of someone. What happens next is the same every time: that person looks you up before they call.
Proofolio is what they find. A page of your actual finished work, with real reviews and a contact form, sitting under your own name. It does not replace your lead sources. It gives the people they send you something real to look at before they decide to call.

FatRank charges on results. At its average, a £5,000 job costs roughly £500, and the next job costs again. Your own page costs the same whether the job is £200 or £5,000.
These are the companies’ own descriptions, checked on 4 October 2026, and they change. Some prices depend on your trade, area or the job, so what you pay may differ. This compares how each one charges, not how many jobs it brings in. Check your own invoices for the real number.
Whatever that number is, it buys an introduction. Proofolio Pro is a flat £49 a month (£39 for founding members) for as many enquiries as come in. It works on the traffic you are already paying for: the person checking you out finds a page full of your finished work.
You started your business to do the work. Not to sit at a computer.
Every other marketing tool wants you to log in, upload files, pick templates, and learn a dashboard. Proofolio does not. You send photos on WhatsApp. Everything else happens automatically.
No Login. No Password. No Dashboard.
Everything happens in WhatsApp. You send your photos and get everything back. There is nothing else to set up.
Built for Busy People with No Time to Spare
No laptop needed. No desktop layout to fight with. If you can send a photo on WhatsApp, you can run your entire Proofolio from your phone.
Done Before You Finish Your Next Job
Send your photos during a lunch break. By the time you finish your next job or task, your cards, captions, video, and portfolio are ready.
Every Other Tool
Finish a 10-hour shift. Open a laptop. Log into a dashboard. Upload photos. Pick a template. Write a caption. Fix the layout. Post it manually. Repeat next job.
Proofolio
Send photos on WhatsApp during lunch. Cards, captions, video, and portfolio all delivered back before your next job starts.
Your portfolio page. Built to be found. All yours.
No ads and no competitor listings beside yours — just your work, your contact form, and customers who came looking for you. The three pages below are demos — illustrative businesses, not real customers — built exactly the way yours is.

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning · Bristol

Every portfolio page goes live the moment your first job is processed, and is submitted to Google straight away, set up so Google can read it. Free and paid accounts alike. When Google indexes it, and where it ranks, is Google’s call — what we control is that nothing is missing when it looks.
The Part That Compounds
Most marketing stops working the day you stop paying. This does the opposite.
An advert runs and disappears. A directory listing vanishes the month you cancel. Every job you send through Proofolio does the opposite — it goes on the page and it stays there, adding to everything already on it.
JOB 01
You have something to show
One page, under your own business name, with photos of a job you actually finished. That already puts you ahead of the business whose only online presence is a Facebook page nobody has posted to in six months.
JOB 12
It starts to look like a body of work
A dozen jobs in, the page stops being a sample and starts being a record. Someone scrolling it can see the kind of work you take on, the areas you cover, and that you have been doing it consistently — not once, for the photo.
JOB 50+
It becomes the thing nobody can copy
Years of finished jobs and real reviews, all tied to your name. A competitor can build a website this afternoon. They cannot build the history behind it, and they cannot buy yours.
Why more jobs makes the page work harder
Every job adds real detail in your own words — the work you did, where you did it, what it involved. That is exactly what a search engine, or an AI assistant answering “who does this near me”, has to read before it can recommend anyone. A page with fifty finished jobs on it simply gives them more to go on than a page with one.
Every finished job is also another chance to earn a review. Fifty jobs means fifty customers who could vouch for you, each one tied to work you actually did.
What You Get Per Job
One job. A month of content.
Send your photos via WhatsApp and get back everything you need to market that job: before and after cards, individual cards, captions, video, and your own page.
The posts are a month's worth. The page they come from does not expire when the month does — it stays up with that job on it.
The Showcase Card
All the photos from each generation combined into one professional composite graphic. Ready to post on Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp in seconds. No design skills needed.
Before & After Cards
Send a before shot and an after shot and get them back side by side on one branded card, built for you automatically. The difference is the whole argument, and it is easier to see side by side.
Individual Job Cards
Every photo you send gets its own branded card — clean, professional, with your business name on it. Post them one at a time all week from a single job.
Short-Form Video
A short-form video built from your job photos, ready to post to TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook. You do not edit anything.
Captions Written for You
Short captions for social posts, longer descriptions for your portfolio page. Multiple versions of each so you never repeat yourself — just copy and paste.
Shows Up When Customers Search
Your page is built from the start to be found by someone looking for what you do in your area — described in the words they actually search for, and sent to Google automatically.
Where It All Lives
Your work stops being scattered. It all lands in one place.
Most people running a service business have years of good work and no way to lay hands on any of it. Every job you send through Proofolio is filed on your own job page and stays there — the photos and everything we made from them, together, permanently.
Right now
- Photos buried in a camera roll with four thousand other pictures
- The good before-and-after somewhere in a WhatsApp thread from March
- A card you made once, still sitting in Canva behind a password
- The video on an old phone, or gone with it
None of it is lost, exactly. It is just not anywhere you can get to it when a customer is stood in front of you asking.
One page. Every job you have ever sent.
Each job gets its own entry, newest first, with the photos and the finished marketing for that job kept together underneath it. Nothing is spread across four apps, because there is only the one place.
Opened from WhatsApp. No login, no password.
Your job page lives behind a private link we send you on WhatsApp. Tap it and you are in, on a job, between appointments. There is no account to be locked out of.
Easy to go back to and use again
A customer asks whether you have done a job like theirs. Open the page, scroll to the one you are thinking of, and the photos are already there and already branded — ready to send, without hunting through your phone for twenty minutes.
Your Leads. Nobody Else.
Stop sharing leads with four other businesses. Own them outright.
When a customer finds your portfolio page and fills in the contact form or messages you on WhatsApp, that enquiry belongs to you — and only you. No platform takes a cut. No competing quotes. No paying for an introduction whether you win the job or not, and no paying again for a lead that went to four other people at the same time.
Every enquiry lands straight in your WhatsApp.
No per-lead charges. Ever. One flat monthly subscription. Unlimited enquiries. It does not matter if you get one lead or a hundred — you never pay more.
No competition. Your portfolio page shows only you. The customer who fills in that form came looking for you specifically — not you and four others.

Customer Reviews
One review. One job. No open review board.
When you finish a job, Proofolio makes a single-use review link. You get it on your job page with a Copy button, and we also send it to your WhatsApp. You forward it to your customer. That is the only way a review can ever be left, and it is what the rest of this section is built on.
One unique link per job
When you finish a job, Proofolio makes a single-use review link for it. It works once, for that one job, and then it's spent. Nobody can leave a second review on the same job.
Forward it however you like
Copy the link and send it to your customer however you normally communicate — WhatsApp, text, Facebook Messenger, email. However you built that relationship, use it.
Tied to a finished job
Every review comes from a one-time link tied to a job you finished. There is no open review board, and nobody can leave a second review on the same job.
✅ Review request ready for "Carpet clean".
Send this link to your customer to request their review. This link is unique to this job and can only be used once. It expires in 14 days.
⭐ New review received
★★★★★ 5/5

It's already live on your portfolio page — nothing for you to do.
