Message Local Pages nearby

On Local, most conversations start from someone’s FWDLink Page. Browse Jobs, Help Wanted, or the Pages directory, open a Page nearby, and send a message — replies land in their Inbox.

From Jobs or Help Wanted

  1. Open a job listing or an Available for hire Page in your city.
  2. Use Message (or open the Page, then message from there).
  3. Say what you need, when, and any pay or details you already know.
  4. Keep the thread in FWDLink so both of you have the history.

If a listing belongs to a Page, messaging usually routes to that Page’s owner.

From the Pages directory

  1. Go to Local → Pages for your city.
  2. Filter by trade or search when those options are available.
  3. Open a Page and use Message (and Call / Text / Email if they enabled them).

You don’t need a separate Local-only account — sign in with the same FWDLink account you use for your Page.

Tips for a good first message

  • Be specific: job, day, neighborhood, and what you’re offering or need.
  • Keep contact details you’re willing to share; you can always call or text if both sides prefer.
  • Hire and pay directly after you agree — see How Local Jobs works.
