Same four leaks. Different trade.

Every local service business loses work in the same places. How you plug them depends on how your customers buy. A homeowner with water on the floor and a homeowner choosing a roofer are not shopping the same way, so their pages, scripts, and follow-ups shouldn't match either.

  • 8 trades with their own playbook
  • Utah seasons built in
  • One system underneath

In short

Almanac Office runs websites, Google Business Profiles, reviews, call answering, and AI admin agents for local service businesses in Utah. The system is the same for every trade. The pages, call scripts, quote forms, and follow-ups are built around how that trade's customers buy: recurring, emergency, big-ticket bid, or seasonal.

What's the same

The leaks don't care what you sell.

Whatever the trade, the lost work hides in the same four places. None of them show up on a bank statement, which is why they last so long.

01 · Slow site

The page loads, eventually.

Customers search on their phones and leave slow, vague sites. A fast website with tap-to-call and a page per service fixes most of it.

02 · Maps

Missing from the map pack.

Google shows three businesses on the map for "[trade] near me." The rest get a fraction of the calls. How the map pack works.

03 · Calls

Calls that ring out.

A call you miss while you're up a ladder or under a sink usually becomes a job for the next number on the list. An AI receptionist picks up instead.

04 · Reviews

Reviews from a few years ago.

Old, thin review counts lose to steady, recent ones. The fix is asking every customer, every time, and replying to every review.

What changes

How your customer buys sets the playbook.

The same tools get pointed at different moments. Here's how the four buying patterns differ.

How they buyTradesWhat wins the job
RecurringHouse cleaning, pest control, lawn care, storefront windowsAn instant price, an easy first booking, and reminders that keep them on the schedule.
EmergencyPlumbing, HVAC, urgent electricalAnswering the call, day or night, and saying clearly what happens next and what it costs to come out.
Big-ticket bidRoofing, furnace and AC replacement, panel upgrades, landscape designProof (photos, license, reviews) and a follow-up after the bid, because they're comparing three.
SeasonalSprinkler blowouts, spring window cleaning, hail repairs, fall rodent workBooking last year's customers before the rush, and a waitlist that converts when it hits.

Not listed

Your trade isn't here? The system still fits.

Carpet cleaning, garage doors, painting, pool service, junk removal, auto detailing: if customers find you on Google and call or text to book, the same four leaks apply. Send your site for a free audit and we'll tell you which ones are costing you, in your trade's terms.

FAQ

Questions about trades.

Do you only work with the trades listed here?

No. These are the trades we've written pages for. Any local service business in Utah that gets customers from Google, phone calls, and reviews can use the same system. The free audit tells you how it fits yours.

Is the setup different for each trade?

The parts are the same: website, Google Business Profile, reviews, call answering, and AI for admin. What changes is the order, the pages, and the scripts, because a no-heat call and a quarterly pest plan are sold in completely different ways.

Do you work with more than one business in the same trade and town?

Ask us. If there's a conflict, we'll tell you before you pay for anything.

Which trades benefit most from an AI receptionist?

The ones where a missed call is a lost job within minutes: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing after a storm. Recurring trades get more from quote follow-ups and rebooking. See AI receptionist.
