Ely Recommendation Notes
Ask with enough detail
Good Ely posts mention timing, neighborhood, budget range, photos if useful, and whether the work is urgent.
Compare the local signal
Look for repeated names, recent replies, clear availability, and whether the recommendation came from someone near your part of town.
Use proof before price
For local recommendations, ask what similar local jobs cost, what changed the quote, and what the person would do differently next time.
How SpawnWork reads activity
We group public local asks by state, city, and category, then only show pages with enough D1 proof or clearly mark pages still warming up.
