Tampa Bay Founding Provider Program
Launching when the provider network is ready.
⚡ FOUNDING PROVIDERS WANTED

Customers ask for local help every day. Be ready when PostDotz sends the request.

PostDotz is launching a new local marketplace in Tampa Bay. Tell us what you provide and where you serve. When a matching customer request comes in, participating providers can respond privately and compete for the job.

Join before public launch and matched-request access is free for your first 6 months.

How a request reaches you

Five steps, no scrolling, no guessing whether a post is even worth your time.

1

Buyer posts a request

Category, service area, budget range and timeline — all specified up front.

2

Instant matching

PostDotz checks it against providers who selected that offering and service area during onboarding.

3

You get notified

An email and browser notification can arrive when a matching request hits your area.

4

You send a private bid

Your price is visible only to the buyer, never to competing providers.

5

Buyer picks, you're notified

Win, and the request closes to everyone else. You can move forward with the buyer.

Try it yourself

This is a working simulation of what happens on a provider's phone. Walk through one Tampa Bay request from alert to private bid to the buyer's decision.

Provider questions

What joining before launch means and how the request system is designed to work.

What does “6 months free” mean?

Founding providers who join before public launch receive matched-request access free for their first six months after PostDotz launches.

What does it cost to join now?

Nothing. Joining the founding-provider waitlist is free and does not obligate you to purchase anything.

Am I paying for every lead?

Not during the founding-provider period. After that, PostDotz is being designed around flexible monthly access with a lower-priced annual option, rather than charging you separately every time a buyer posts a request.

How do service areas and categories work?

You choose the services or products you actually provide and the Tampa Bay areas you actually serve. Matching uses that combination so unrelated requests are not sent to you.

What happens if I don't win a bid?

Nothing against you. The buyer chooses another provider, that request closes, and you remain eligible for the next matching opportunity.

Can I change my services or service areas later?

Yes. The full marketplace is being built so providers can manage their offerings and service areas from their provider settings.

Do I have to stop using Facebook or Instagram?

No. PostDotz is designed to work alongside the platforms you already use. The request, private responses and buyer comparison are simply organized in one place.

When is launch?

Our internal goal is around 30 days, but we will not open a request category until enough real local providers are ready to respond. If the provider network needs more time, we push the launch rather than open a dead category.

Join before buyers start sending requests.

Founding providers receive the first 6 months of matched-request access free after launch.
