FAQ
Can the website sync with my current dispatch software?
Yes. We specialize in integrating with industry leaders like ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, and Jobber. This allows customers to see available time slots and book directly into your schedule without a phone call.
How do you handle 'Emergency Service' requests on the site?
We implement conditional logic. During business hours, leads go to dispatch. After hours, the site can trigger an automated SMS to your on-call technician or display a dedicated emergency line.
Do I own the website after the build?
Absolutely. Unlike some industry-specific marketing 'rent-a-site' firms, you own the domain, the code, and the content. We simply manage and optimize it for you.
Will this help me get more high-end appliance jobs?
Yes. We build dedicated landing pages for luxury brands like Miele, Thermador, and Dacor. By showcasing your expertise and certifications for these brands, you attract higher-margin repair work.
How long does it take for the new site to show up on Google?
While the build takes 4-6 weeks, we begin SEO indexing immediately upon launch. Most appliance repair clients see a significant lift in local search rankings within 30-60 days of go-live.
