The systems that catch every call, text, and click, even when you're slammed or closed. Newly live now that our business texting is approved.
Your phone, answered 24/7. Built for the phone-heavy trades, roofers, plumbers, HVAC, electricians, landscapers, where every missed call is a missed job.
A natural-sounding assistant picks up every call, day or night. It books the job right on the phone, answers your hours, services, and pricing, takes a message after hours, and texts you the details, then logs it all so nothing slips. It's a front desk that never sleeps, never misses a call, and never takes a day off.
Our premium spot for trades. Priced to your call volume, and we'll show you exactly how it sounds on a free demo before you commit.

Not sure where to start?
Tell us about your business and we'll take an honest look, then show you a free preview. No pressure, no jargon, no agency retainer.
Tell us about your businessAnd get on the guide
Separate from the services above, and a free place to start: get your business onto the San Mateo guide residents actually browse. A basic listing is always free, with a few ways to stand out.
★ Free, no catch
If you run a San Mateo spot we're missing, tell us about it and we'll add it. Free, no strings. We genuinely love finding places we didn't know about.
Pick your level
Getting listed is always free. From there, here is every way to stand out. Pick what fits. Paid spots are always clearly marked, so the guide stays honest.
★ Only 6 featured slots at a time, kept limited on purpose.
Get found by locals already looking for a place like yours.
We add you to the guide ourselves. Nothing to build, nothing to manage.
Be one of the first names locals see when they are deciding where to go.
We handle the placement, the badge, and your spot in the matching Best-Of list. You just keep doing what you do.
Your specials and events reach people planning their week, so you stay on their mind between visits.
Text us the details. We write it and post it to the guide and the homepage. No content calendar, no captions to fuss over.
A real story that helps a stranger choose you, and keeps working in Google long after.
We interview you or take your notes and write the whole thing. You never touch a keyboard.
Put your name at the top of the guide locals turn to for "the best in San Mateo."
We keep a set of Best-Of guides built to show up in local search, Best Coffee, Best Breakfast, Best Happy Hour, and more. Sponsor the one your business fits and you get the top of that page for a full year: "Best Coffee in San Mateo, presented by [your business]," with your name, a line about you, and a link, sitting above the whole list.
Because it's a real, curated list people actually trust, not a banner ad, your name gets that trust too. And you're the only sponsor on that guide, so you never share the spotlight with a competitor.
We build the page, keep it current, and keep the list honest. You just get the credit, all year.
Want more customers, not just more visibility? We also set up Google reviews and build websites, more on those just below.

Good to know
No. Everything is month to month, and you can cancel anytime. We'd rather earn your business every month than lock you in.
Yes. We build you a free preview first, and you only move forward if you love it. No deposit, no risk just to look.
No, and that's the point. We're locals who live here, so there's no retainer, no jargon, and no account manager you can never reach. You work with us directly, and we keep it affordable.
Yes. A basic listing is free, no strings. If you run a real San Mateo business, we want you on the guide. Send it to us with the form above and we'll add it.
A free listing puts you in the guide where locals can find you. A Featured Listing makes you stand out: the orange Featured badge, the top of your category, and a place in the Featured strip on our homepage.
The Featured badge on your listing, top position on your category page, and a spot in the rotating Featured strip on the homepage. When someone's browsing for what you offer, you're one of the first things they see.
Your choice. Go monthly at $39 a month to stay featured for as long as you like (cancel anytime), or pay $49 once for a single 30-day run. Same placement either way. Monthly is the better deal if you plan to stick around.
Everything in a Featured Listing, plus two things that keep working long-term: a full editorial story about your business on its own page (Google can find it for years), and a big feature card up top on the homepage. It's a one-time payment, and the story page stays up for good.
We write it, with you. We'll ask a few quick questions, put together a draft, and send it to you to approve before it goes live. Your story, in your words, just polished.
We keep it to six at a time, on purpose. If everyone's featured, no one stands out, so we cap it. When all six are taken, we start a waitlist and let you know when one opens up.
Usually a day or two after payment. We add you by hand (that's the point of a curated guide), so it's not instant, but it's quick.
Your placement comes down and you go back to a normal free listing, still in the guide. Nothing disappears. With the $149, your story page stays up permanently either way.
Yes. Use the "Is this your business?" link on your listing or just email us, and we'll update it. Free listings included.
