FAQ
Will this site work with my existing Jobber or Housecall Pro account?
Yes. We specialize in deep API integrations. We don't just link to your booking page; we embed the experience so customers never leave your site, improving conversion rates by up to 30%.
How do you handle emergency water damage calls on the website?
We implement a high-priority 'Emergency' button that bypasses standard email and triggers immediate SMS or automated phone alerts to your on-call technician, ensuring you're the first to respond.
Can the website handle different pricing for residential vs. commercial?
Absolutely. We build separate logic flows. Residential users get an instant room-based estimator, while commercial users are directed to a high-priority quote request form for onsite bidding.
Do I own the website after the build is complete?
Yes. Unlike 'industry-specific' marketing agencies that lease you a site, you own 100% of the assets, code, and content. We simply provide the expertise and ongoing AI optimizations.
How long does it take for the new site to show up on Google?
While the site goes live in 4-6 weeks, we implement 'Local Schema' and Google Search Console indexing immediately. Most clients see their local rankings for specific neighborhoods improve within 30 days of launch.
