Set up from your website
Give us your website address and we read it, find your Google listing, and fill most of your setup in for you — nothing saved until you have read it and agreed to it.
Most of what this product needs to know about your business is already written on your own website: what you do, where you do it, and what you call it. Typing it all in again was the first thing we asked you to do.
Now you can hand us the address instead. We read your homepage and the pages behind it that describe your services, then look for your Google listing — and we only use it once we have checked that the website Google holds for that listing comes back to the same domain you gave us. No match, no listing: we would rather show you nothing than show you a business with a similar name.
What comes back is one screen, and nothing on it has been saved. The kinds of work you do, in your words. What your business does. The towns you work in. Your opening hours. Your logo, at the size it will actually appear on a quote. And every line says where it came from — the page it was read from and the words that produced it — so you are checking evidence rather than taking our word for it.
Everything is yours to change first. Untick what is not you. The kinds of work are text boxes, not labels: if your services page says Water Heater Replacement & Repair and you call it Water heaters, type that, because it is the name every margin report will be grouped by for years.
One thing you may not have been told. If your website and your Google listing disagree about your phone number, your name or your address, we show you both and ask which is right. Local search ranks partly on those matching, so a number that is out of date in one of the two places has been quietly costing you.
And it closes by naming what no website could have told us — your labor rate, whether you take card payments here, whether you do the work yourself, and where you work — with what leaving each one costs rather than just its name.
No website? Describe the business in a sentence instead, or answer the questions by hand as before. That has always been one click and still is.
