What is WeGoLook?

WeGoLook pays freelancers to inspect cars, accident scenes, real estate, roofs and businesses for insurance companies and law firms investigating claims.

How it works

Signing up takes only about 10 minutes and simply requires you to be over the age of 18 and able to pass a background check.

If you’re planning to inspect roofs — something the company was recruiting for in February of 2025 — you’ll need a 20 foot ladder, a vehicle able to carry it, a smart phone, pitch gauge, roof gauge, and appropriate footwear for climbing.

If you take the job, you’re expected to complete the assignment within 24 hours. This will involve driving to the site, taking multiple photographs and reporting on a variety of details.

If you’re inspecting a car, for instance, you’d need to get the make, model, VIN number, mileage, body style, accessories, condition of the tires, condition of the interior and exterior. You’d also need to start the car, check the signals, windshield wipers, lights, gears, heat, air, power windows and seats. And you must take notes and copious photos.

WeGoLook review

WeGoLook, a division of Crawford Inspection Services, enlists freelancers as “lookers,” “looker-notaries,” roof inspectors and property inspectors. All of these freelancers are notified when there’s an inspection that meets their skills, saying where it is and what is required. The pay for that assignment is also included.

Freelancers are able to accept or ignore the assignment.

“Looks” typically take between 15- to 30-minutes, and pay $15 to $30. Roof inspections reportedly pay $50 to $65.  However, freelancers report that they are often asked to drive significant distances, which is time consuming and costs a significant amount in gas money.

There’s no obligation to accept jobs, however.

So, if you reject looks that are time consuming or distant, you should be able to make minimum wage or more.

Pay

Freelancers are usually paid by direct deposit about a week following each gig.

Recommendations

Your chance of getting decent work through this app varies by where you live, with better opportunities in bigger cities. Other sites that offer similar work that may pay better include ProxyPics and IvueIt.

What their users say:

(from Indeed)

I like the Independence and the fact that when I complained about the way something was done. they listened and CHANGED IT! It made a stressful time in the field much easier.

Management is great if you have a problem they help you right away. I worked on my own so never in an office. The hardest part of my job is finding work in my area. The most enjoyable part is I get to drive around.

As a Looker, this job is contract work that pays low ($15-50) per task. The company often omits key info about the tasks and if you travel to a job site and the work has been canceled they pay you a lousy $10. There is no outreach in communication just cold texts and emails with warnings. But you do have the freedom to accept or reject any task that is offered.

Not much work

It’s impossible to call WGL a job because in my area there are very, very few inspections available. One per week has been the average since I started doing their inspections.They pay quickly but each assignment can be a money loser. WGL works if you happen to be going near the assignment. The average assignment pays $18 with a round trip of 35 or more miles, and takes about 30 minutes.

Sometimes the claims would be 25 miles out from your home with low pay

Long drives; low pay

If you l@@k at your pay of $20 per assignment and deduct your gas, insurance, data use, printing costs and taxes and time you are actually losing money on most assignments. It costs .55 cents a mile to operate a vehicle. Factor in the lack of workers comp and benefits and you will see you are getting burned.

I love the freedom to accept or decline without being penalized. The only downside is depending on where you live, the assignments might require driving 30 minutes to an hour away.

Negotiate

At least once WeGoLook contacted me by phone as they were desperate to find someone to take a distant gig, and I negotiated for an increase of pay. So, keep up with the communication and be willing to follow through and this can be an extra income for you!

Pay for assignments has actually gone down. It started at $15 and now it’s $12. $12 while you drive 1-hr Round trip. Gas is on you. Cell phone and uploading photos / data is on you. Wear and tear / insurance on car is on you. You are better off driving for Uber or making deliveries. After your cost you are earning less than minimum wage.

    August 6, 2021 I have been a looker for a few years. In recent months the company has seemingly gone downhill regarding it’s lookers. They have started sending look notifications at basically all hours. 10:30 at night and 7:00 in the morning is unacceptable for me. Especially the 10:30 at night. I called three times to speak with a manager five days ago and I’m still waiting. I asked to not be contacted until my call was returned. That hasn’t been the case. I put on vacation in the app which is supposed to let them know you don’t want to be contacted and that was pointless. There is no concern about their lookers. It’s about them. The pay is really poor. I turn down about 90 percent or more of the look offers. I live in a rural area so most looks are an hour round trip. The looks aren’t difficult but if I can’t make the 57 cents a mile the feds say it cost to run my vehicle and 10-15 dollars for my time I turn them down. I have even been asked to do looks that are three and four hours round trip for $18-20. They have kinda become a joke to work with. I hope this gives you an idea of what you are in for working with them. If you are in a condensed area it may be better but I kinda doubt it.

      Thank you for your feedback as I had some of these concerns with distance and pay worthiness for my time and mileage.

    I worked for a company doing vehicle inspections and was paid well. Unfortunately, the company decided to turn my job into an app anyone can use. I had good pay and respect as a priority inspector and did the job faithfully driving distances that I was reimbursed for.
    After losing that job, I went to work for We Go Look, (my second opportunity to give them another chance because I read they were doing better for employees), and at first I thought they were better. At one point I was offered good money and did three jobs no one would take. After that, the pay dropped to nothing and I’m talking $25.00 for a three hour drive. Using the tool in their app, I worked out how much money would cover time, travel, the job and the wear and tear on my vehicle and phone. I put in my request and they did not respond to me, I’m still waiting. When I refused a four hour drive for $25.00 I was harassed by the person who offered the job. My phone was bombed with six requests all due the same day and when I refused my account was inactivated. I reached out to the company and complained, they reinstated me but now refuse all my counter offers. I wrote them a letter explaining just how unfair this was and I was told it went to the proper people. No one reached out so I’ve quit a second time. I want to warn people that this company will use you, do not care about you and while you actually do the work, you are not paid for it, someone else is getting money for the work you do.
    If you are starving and need work, you may get enough money for a hamburger, ($20.00), these days but in the end you are paying them to work for them. I am angry this is allowed and they take advantage of people in need. You have no recourse so I’m advising you to save your gas, tires and maintenance on your vehicle. I’ve worked there twice and this is my review.

    Before years ago when I started WGL-ing…. it was better and less known. pay was better and so was negotiations. in my area of missouri however, there are far too many people on drugs that dont follow through, that make us look bad, that accept crap pay, and so forth. it has become neigh impossible to request worthwhile rates for jobs and to be able to schedule 4-7 jobs in a round trip at $40-$45 per job and make it about 2-3 hours worth of driving a big circle and stopping and capturing multiple assignments.

      All of these apps are better in the beginning, when they first start. Then people feel the need to “refer” people for the “referral” bonus and then the app gets so over crowded with people that the companies no longer appreciate the ones they had in the beginning doing all kinds of things for them.
      I do not refer people to use apps to make money bc the referral bonus is a ONE TIME payment per person and your only going to refer so many people but what people don’t realize is you make more money doing the jobs yourself bc it’s on going unlike referral bonuses and after you’ve referred people for that money they then refer others and then there’s so many people in your area using the app that now your fighting for jobs. The jobs pay more than the referral bonus no matter how much the referral bonus is. Referral bonus= one time payment, working the jobs= weekly continuous pay! It’s a no brainer!
