Reviews Are Your Reputation. Protect Them.

Every review on Xperoc is tied to a real, verified booking. You cannot fake them. You cannot buy them. That’s exactly what makes them valuable.

When a client confirms that a job is done, they are prompted to leave a review. That review is attached to their verified booking — so it can’t be faked, incentivised, or removed without cause.

Your reviews build your Trust Score. A higher Trust Score means you appear higher in Xperoc’s matching results, which means more bookings, which means more reviews. The flywheel starts with your very first job.

1

Complete your first 3 jobs well — early reviews are the most important. They determine your initial Trust Score.

2

After every job, ask your client directly: “If you were happy with my work, I’d appreciate a review on my Xperoc profile.” Share your listing link with them.

3

Respond professionally to every review — positive or negative. Future clients read your responses.

How the Review System Works

Client books you through Xperoc
You complete the job
Client confirms completion
Review is automatically attached to the verified booking
Xperoc does not allow fake, purchased, or incentivised reviews. Every review is real. Every Trust Score is earned. This is what makes Xperoc reviews worth more than a Google review or a Facebook recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about the partnership, about Xperoc, or about how to get started. Answered directly.

The partnership is open to all current Makers Club members. If you’re not yet a member, email hello@xperoc.com and we’ll guide you on how to join. The Makers Club is open to anyone aged 18–30 in KwaZulu-Natal with an interest in technology, making, and building.
Yes — completely. Creating your listing, maintaining your profile, receiving booking requests, and using the invoice, quote, and contract generators are all free. Xperoc only charges 7.4% when a job is completed and your client confirms payment. If you never win a job, you pay nothing.
Any skill or service you can professionally deliver. This includes: embedded systems programming, electronics repair and assembly, PCB design, Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects, 3D printing and design, software development, IoT solutions, technical consulting, and more. If you can do it professionally, you can list it.
Start by making your listing as complete as possible — detailed description, clear pricing, your area, and a professional photo if you have one. Then share your listing link in The Makers Club community, on LinkedIn, and in your WhatsApp contacts. Your first client is likely already in your network.
When you create a listing on Xperoc, you get a unique URL (e.g. xperoc.com/listing/your-name). This link goes to your professional service profile page — publicly visible to anyone, indexed by Google, and shareable anywhere. It works like your own mini website, but on a trusted, verified marketplace.
If a client confirms a booking and payment enters escrow but refuses to release it after the job is done, raise a dispute through Xperoc. Xperoc mediates based on evidence — photos, chat logs, agreements. If the work was clearly completed as agreed, Xperoc will release the funds. If a client doesn’t respond within 72 hours of job completion, Xperoc may release payment at its discretion.
Yes. Xperoc operates across South Africa. The partnership with The Makers Club focuses on KwaZulu-Natal, but your listing is visible to clients anywhere in the country. Remote services like programming, software development, and technical consulting are especially well-suited to clients outside your immediate area.
Email hello@xperoc.com — include your listing name or booking reference where relevant. Xperoc supports queries in English, IsiZulu, and Afrikaans. Response time is within 4 business hours during working days.

Ja — heeltemal gratis. Xperoc hef slegs ‘n kommissie van 7.4% sodra ‘n werk voltooi is en jou kliënt die betaling bevestig. Jy betaal niks totdat jy verdien.
