Online booking and local SEO presence
Let customers book online and show up in local search results.
Overview
Housecall Pro offers Google Local Services ads integration; Jobber includes online booking and website tools. Thorbis online-booking module is off by default.
What we're building
Customers increasingly want to book service the way they order everything else, online, on their own time. If you only take bookings by phone, you lose the ones who reach out after hours or move on to the next contractor.
Thorbis offers an embeddable booking widget you can drop on your site, with availability that respects your service area so you only take jobs you can run. A completed booking becomes a job automatically, and an optional Google Local Services connection helps you show up when people search nearby. For contractors who want to capture demand without adding office work.
