Home and field services · Utah

Your next customer Googles you first. Text Patch and what they find is right.

Plumbers, HVAC, roofers, electricians, landscapers, painters, cleaners, handymen.

Hours and holiday hours right on your own site, a quote form that lands on your phone and on a private page only you open, photos of the last job sent by text, a new price live in a minute.

It's AI, with someone on the hook. Taylor Remund runs it, in Utah, and answers for every change.

How we know: A census of 6,672 Google-listed businesses from Ogden to Santaquin, 33 categories across 14 cities, chains taken out; each one's website link was then opened and classified (none, a social page, a directory profile, a dead link, a free builder address, or a site of its own). The city is the one whose search found the business first. Figures as of 2026-09-28; the group with no site of its own is younger and smaller than average — a median of 8 Google reviews against 45 for the ones with a site.

What we find

These are the lines, word for word.

Nothing here is written by a model. Each sentence is computed from what Google shows, by the same rules whether it comes off the Saturday list, out of a message, or off the page where you can check your own.

Where the website link goes

  • 416 no website on Google
  • 32 the website link is a Facebook page, not a site of their own
  • 93 the website link is a business.site page, and Google shut those down in 2024: it's a dead link
  • 19 the website is a free Wix address (example.wixsite.com)

The counts are this group's, as of 2026-09-28.

What the listing itself shows

  • no hours on Google
  • no photos
  • Google shows a street address, not the area they serve
  • no phone on Google
  • only 3 photos
  • a 2★ review 3 weeks ago
  • newest review is 16 months old

Read live from Google when you check a business, not from the census.

27% of calls to home-service businesses go unanswered, and under 3% of callers sent to voicemail leave a message. (Invoca, 2024, read 2026-09-28.)

The one built for this

Service and booking: a real site, live right now.

A business people book: pool care, cleaning, repairs, lessons. It comes with:

  • Your services and hours
  • A booking calendar
  • A quote form
  • An /admin page with the bookings and the quote requests

The business in the demo is made up. The site is real, on the same setup a client gets, and it goes back to its golden copy every night.

Change it yourself

“Add Tuesday 9am as a booking slot.”

All 6 plans, side by side, are on /pricing. No setup fee on any of them. How that compares to an agency, a builder and doing nothing.

Before you say yes

Straight answers.

I get all my work from referrals.

Your referrals Google you first. Right now, for 561 of the 2,425 trades we checked, what they find is nothing, a Facebook page or a dead link.

Can you change my Google listing too?

Taylor does Google listing changes by hand, the same day, today. Patch takes them over as we connect Google to each account; that needs Google's sign-off, not yours.

What happens when I text something at 9pm?

Patch does the change and texts you back, usually in about a minute, and checks the live page before saying it is done.

More of them on how it works. The other four: Solo professionals and creatives, Makers and pickup retail, Nonprofits, churches and leagues, restaurants.
