AI that gets your handyman business found, booked and rebooked

ServiceHarness is an AI Chief Revenue Officer for handyman services. Ten AI agents draft a reply to every inquiry in minutes, chase open quotes until they book, ask happy customers for Google reviews the day the job wraps, re-ask past customers whose houses keep aging, publish local pages that rank for searches like "handyman near me," track whether ChatGPT and Google AI recommend you and fix why not, and chase unpaid invoices. You approve every message before it sends.

Speed and trust, systematically. The job goes to the first credible reply, so response speed on every inquiry is the biggest single lever. Trust is the review count and rating a stranger checks before opening the door. And the cheapest jobs of all are repeat customers, who only come back when someone asks. ServiceHarness runs all three on a schedule.

Plans start at $60/month (Starter), with Growth at $100/month and Scale at $200/month. Chat with your AI CRO is unlimited and free on every plan. No setup fee, no contract, and you can grade your business free before signing up.

The same coverage with people (part-time marketing coordinator, local SEO retainer, review service, content writer, follow-up help) runs $5,500–$10,500 a month at market rates. At the $60 entry plan that's $5,440–$10,440 kept monthly, about $65,000–$125,000 a year.

AI assistants recommend the handyman businesses that trusted sources document best: consistent directory profiles, strong recent reviews, and pages that plainly state services and towns. In our Cranford audit, a hometown shop with a perfect 5.0 was skipped because the sources the assistant reads barely mentioned it. ServiceHarness measures the live answers weekly and builds exactly what's missing.

In the 26 live packs we measured, ranked businesses had a median of 41 reviews, 97% listed hours and 81% linked a website, and pack leaders held 10+ photos and a median of 67 reviews. The pack rewards maintained profiles, not just good ones. If your reviews are strong but stale, or photos and hours are thin, that's usually the gap.

It includes one: customers, jobs and quotes live in it, but the point is the opposite of a CRM: instead of a database waiting for you to work it, the agents work it. They find the quote going cold, the customer due for a re-ask, the invoice aging past 30 days, and draft the message. A CRM records; ServiceHarness acts.

No. Every text, email, review request and follow-up is drafted and queued for your approval before it goes anywhere. You can approve one tap at a time or let trusted message types flow, but the default is you see everything first.

No, and most contractors don't have one: only 20% of the 1,473 licensed contractors we analyzed do. The agents start with your Google Business Profile, reviews and inquiry follow-up, which drive most handyman calls anyway. When you're ready, the Content and SEO agents give a website a running start.

GEO, generative engine optimization, is making sure AI assistants recommend your handyman business when homeowners ask who to call. It's SEO's successor question: not "do I rank" but "am I the answer." ServiceHarness asks the real questions weekly across ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity and Claude, records who gets named, and closes your gaps.

By asking, on a schedule. Every house keeps aging, so the customer whose faucet you fixed in March has a punch list by fall, but they only call you if you're the name they remember. The Referral Agent drafts the seasonal re-ask, the punch-list day offer, and the swing-by note when you're already booked nearby, and every one waits for your approval.
