How the plug-in works for Local & Home Services
Handyman and local service work is made of small jobs that customers hesitate to phone about. A clear price removes the hesitation. A plug-in with your rates lets a customer get an estimate and send the request in the time it takes to describe the job.
The customer describes the job, the plug-in works out an estimate from your published prices, and once they agree it sends your team the request with the estimate and a reference. General questions about service areas, pricing and job requests are answered from your business profile.
Your team confirms every quote itself. The plug-in never takes payment and only shares what you have published.
The Local & Home Services plug-in is available to businesses in any country. Free setup of your business profile in ChatGPT is for US businesses for now; outside the US, choose a plug-in plan and we confirm your setup with you. Plug-in plans are $24.99 a month or $199 a year, paid through Stripe.
