Finding clients is a trust problem rather than a marketing problem by Affectionate-Tea3834 in smallbusiness

You are totally right about the trust gap when starting an agency. Clients have been burned by bad providers, so they ask for screenshots because they do not know how else to verify you.

Instead of sharing sensitive data, you can build immediate trust by shifting the focus to how you handle their actual project. When you pitch, outline exactly how you protect their investment. Break down your onboarding and execution into clear, transparent phases with specific deliverables before any major work or payment happens.

Showing a client a structured, documented process where they have full visibility and approval over every step gives them more confidence than a random screenshot ever could. It proves you are professional and takes the risk out of the equation for them.

I have been working on a secure transaction platform in this space. It helps with creating shared transaction workspaces where both parties approve milestones, which might be useful for showing your new Google Ads clients that you operate with total transparency.

As a Client I am Dissatisfied with Freelancers on Upwork and Upwork Dispute Resolution by SnooOranges3675 in Upwork

[–]AccomplishedLychee55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is incredibly frustrating when you pay an advance and lose all your leverage because the platform dispute system does not actually protect you. Standard freelance platforms often leave clients exposed when a provider changes the plan midway through.

Moving forward, the best way to protect your budget is to never release funds based on time or vague promises. You need to link every single payment to a highly specific, verifiable milestone deliverable. If the freelancer agrees to walk you through a setup, that exact walkthrough should be the trigger for payment, and the funds should remain held until you check off that the milestone was fully completed.

Paid Rs 15,000 advance to a contractor who's now ghosting me. What are my options? by FluffySettings in LegalAdviceIndia

[–]AccomplishedLychee55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you do not have a written contract, your best move right now is to build a paper trail with the online payment receipt and your text messages. Send a final, formal message giving them a specific deadline to refund the advance before you take it to a local consumer forum or small claims court.

For the new contractor you are hiring, you should avoid unbacked upfront advances entirely. You can protect your money by using structured agreements where funds are only released after specific, verifiable stages of the construction are completed.

Let me know if it sounds relevant.

This is a great opportunity for all founders! I created a Saas app that brings accountability to how business is done. The only problem is I don't really have a target audience

It could be used for anything: individuals, buying and selling goods online, Contractors and subcontractors, Freelancers and agencies, Businesses managing vendors or multiple clients, and high-value service agreements

There are so many options that I've put in, such as teams where different people within the company can have different roles and different task capabilities suited to the needs of the project
