Trades and home services

The work you lose while your hands are full.

Two ways it goes. They never find you, or nobody answers. Neither one ever shows up in your day - the customer who never found you does not complain, and the one who rang while you were under a sink does not ring back. He calls the next name on the list and that job is gone permanently. It is invisible from the inside, which is why it runs for years in businesses that are otherwise very well run.

Answered and qualified · Live in 14-21 days · One firm per trade, per market.

01 Intake · The Line

Every call answered, while you are on the job.

Nobody is under a floor with a tool running and answering the phone at the same time. That is not a discipline problem, it is physics, and it means your busiest days are the days you lose the most work. One desk answers on two channels, the web and the phone. It asks what kind of job, which town and whether it is urgent, books the visit, and routes the real emergencies to whoever is on call. Live in 14-21 days.

  • Most of what arrives does not need you: do you do that kind of work, do you cover my town, how far out are you booking, do you offer financing. Those do not need a tradesman. They need something that replies.
  • A contact form is a filing cabinet, not a dispatcher. A request that lands at eight on a Friday sits until Monday, and by Monday he has had two other quotes.
  • Administrative intake only. It routes to a person and stops, and the limits are published rather than described.
  • Never quotes, never estimates, never commits your crew to a window you have not authorised.

02 Visibility · The Pin

Found first when somebody nearby goes looking for your trade.

Somebody with water coming through a ceiling does not scroll. He taps the first three on the map and takes whoever answers, and if you are the fourth pin you were never in that job at all. It never appears anywhere you would look for it either, because a call you did not receive does not land in any system you own. The companies beating you to it are usually not better at the work. They are higher on a list.

  • The profile rebuilt properly: correct primary category, every service named the way customers actually search for it, and the real service area drawn instead of a radius guess.
  • Review capture, review responses and consistent details across every directory - carried inside this line, never billed as a second one.
  • The Rank Lock: First page inside 60 days on the agreed primary term, or the monthly pauses until it lands. Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal carry a 90-day provision, agreed at kickoff.
  • The next town over built as its own pin once the home town is holding. More cities.
How visibility is built
Who this is built for

Two to twelve people, and the owner still on tools.

You quote it, you sell it, you schedule it, and most days you are still running a crew. The findings do not care which trade it is - a category set wrong and a phone that rings out at seven in the evening cost the same work in any of these.

If yours is not on that list it almost certainly still fits. The system is built on your own knowledge, your screening rules and your words, so the trade is an input rather than a version.

What I will talk you out of
A build before the visibility work is a more expensive version of the same problem. A better site that nobody reaches still nobody reaches. I would rather lose the bigger invoice than sell you that.
The order, and why

Visibility first, almost always. It is the part that creates the enquiry, it compounds, and you keep it. The site is the second conversation and it usually lands on a straightforward rebuild - a page per service, a page per town you actually serve. Intake sells itself on any business where the evening call already rings out.

Before you rank

Tell me your booking lead time on the call. If you are already at capacity with no intention of adding a van or a tech, ranking you produces a worse review profile than you started with, and I will say so rather than take the work.

Questions

Answered plainly.

What happens to a call that comes in while my hands are full? +
It gets answered and qualified instead of going to voicemail. The desk takes the job type, the town, whether it is urgent and whether it is a repair or an install, books the visit into your calendar if it should be booked, and routes anything real to you on your own escalation order. You come off the job to booked work rather than four missed calls and a guess about which one was worth returning.
Why am I being out-ranked by companies smaller than mine? +
Usually one setting, and usually the category. A broad category picked at claim time quietly cannot rank for the specific thing you sell, so a two-van operation in the correct category beats a twelve-van operation in the wrong one. The second most common cause is a service area that was never drawn, which leaves the profile competing only in the postal code your address sits in. Neither is a reflection of how good you are, and neither fixes itself.
Should I buy a new website first? +
Almost never, and I will talk you out of it if the visibility work is not in hand. A better site that nobody reaches is a more expensive version of the problem you already have, and you would be right to blame me for it. Visibility first, the site second. The exception is a site so slow or so broken that it is losing the traffic you already get, and I will tell you if that is what I find.
I already buy leads. Why change? +
A purchased lead is frequently sold to two of your competitors as well, costs the same every month forever, and stops dead the day you stop paying. A ranked position compounds and it stays yours. You do not have to stop buying leads to start owning the position - most contractors run both for a season and let the numbers decide.
Does the desk quote prices or commit my crew? +
No. It never quotes a price, never estimates a job, never commits a crew to a date or a window you have not authorised, and never tells a caller whether something is covered by insurance. Those are hard escalations to a person, written into the agreement rather than promised on a call. The full list is published.

What does a job actually cost you to miss?

Tell me your trade and your town. I will tell you where you come up, what happens to a call at seven in the evening, and which end to fix first.
