Your booking page answers the phone when your hands are dirty

27% of calls to home service businesses go unanswered — and 85% of those customers will never call back. SimplerBook gives plumbers, electricians, cleaners, and handymen a free booking page where customers schedule their own appointments 24/7.

78% of customers hire the first contractor who responds. A booking page means you respond instantly — even when you're under a sink.

What missed calls actually cost your business

These aren't hypothetical numbers. They come from home services industry research and call-tracking data.

Sound familiar?

These are the scheduling headaches home service pros deal with every week.

Hands are dirty, phone is ringing

You're elbow-deep in a pipe repair when your phone buzzes. You can't answer — and by the time you call back, the customer already booked someone else. 41% of weekend calls and 18% of weekday calls go unanswered in home services. Every missed call is roughly $1,200 in lost revenue.

Last-minute cancellations blow up your day

A customer cancels a 3-hour install with no notice. You've already driven across town. Now you've got a gap you can't fill and fuel you can't get back. Without automated reminders, no-shows and last-minute cancellations are a constant drain — reminders alone reduce them by up to 30%.

"Too-big software" that nobody uses

ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber — they're powerful platforms built for fleets with dispatchers. But if you're a one-truck plumber or solo cleaner, you don't need GPS tracking and invoicing workflows. You need customers to book and show up. That's it.

What changes when you have a booking page

SimplerBook handles the scheduling so you can focus on the job in front of you.

Your booking page, always open

A professional page at simplerbook.com/yourname where customers book 24/7. Add your services with pricing and durations — drain clearing, electrical panel upgrades, deep cleans, gutter work. 42% of consumers prefer booking home services online. Your page captures those customers even when you're on a ladder.

Automated reminders that protect your schedule

Customers get an instant confirmation email, then automatic reminders before their appointment. Automated reminders reduce no-shows by up to 30%. Customers who need to reschedule can cancel with one click — freeing the slot for someone else instead of leaving you waiting at their door.

A clear service menu, not a guessing game

List every service with accurate durations and pricing. Customers book exactly what they need without calling to ask "how much does it cost to unclog a drain?" or "do you install ceiling fans?" You show up knowing the job and the customer knows the price.

Customer history you can actually find

Every booking builds a customer record automatically. See their full service history, add private notes about their property, past issues, access codes, or pet warnings. No more scrolling through text messages trying to remember which house had the leaky basement.

Community workshops that build trust

Host community workshops like "How to winterize your pipes" or seasonal maintenance clinics. Collect RSVPs, set capacity, and send reminders. Attendees who see your expertise firsthand become customers when they need the real thing.

Put your booking link everywhere customers find you

Your Google Business Profile is the single most important place for your booking link — businesses with booking links see up to 40% more appointments. But don't stop there. Add it to your Nextdoor page (pages with recommendations get 19x more views), your Facebook business page, and your email signature.

Then go offline: put a QR code on the side of your van or truck, on your business cards, and on every invoice you hand a customer. Every touchpoint should lead to your booking page. 73% of homeowners find contractors by word of mouth — make it dead simple for them to book once they hear your name.

Why not Jobber, Housecall Pro, or ServiceTitan?

They're built for companies with fleets and dispatchers. If you're a solo operator or micro-business, you're paying for a lot you'll never use.

Platform	Monthly Cost	What You're Paying For
ServiceTitan	~$250–500/tech/mo	$5K–50K setup fee, built for large field service companies with dispatch teams
Housecall Pro	$59/mo	Invoicing, GPS tracking, estimates, review management — features you may not need as a solo operator
Jobber	$25/mo (1 user)	Grows expensive fast with team — $69/mo for 5 users, $169/mo for 15+ users
Setmore	Free (limited) / $5+/mo	Free plan caps at 200 appointments, no SMS reminders, no calendar sync
SimplerBook	Free forever	No per-technician fees, no setup cost, no commissions. Booking page + reminders + customer management.

SimplerBook doesn't have dispatch, invoicing, GPS tracking, or fleet management. If you run a team of 10+ techs, Jobber or Housecall Pro are solid choices. But if you're a one-truck plumber or solo cleaner who just needs customers to book and show up — SimplerBook is built for you.

Common questions from home service pros

Yes. The free plan includes 50 bookings/month, a branded booking page, email reminders, and customer management. No credit card required, no trial that expires. If you outgrow the free plan, Pro is $7/mo for unlimited bookings — no per-technician fees.

Absolutely. Add as many services as you need — "Drain Clearing (1 hour)", "Water Heater Install (3 hours)", "Whole-Home Inspection (2 hours)" — each with its own duration, price, and description. Customers see exactly what you offer and how long it takes, so you show up prepared and they know what to expect.

When a customer books a time slot, it's immediately blocked off on your calendar. No one else can book that same window. If a job runs long, you can adjust your availability from your phone so new bookings don't stack up on top of each other.

Yes. SimplerBook works in any mobile browser — no app to install. Check your schedule between jobs, see who's coming next, and adjust availability from the cab of your truck. You get email notifications for every new booking, cancellation, and reschedule.

No. Your booking page works in any web browser on any device. No app download, no account creation — customers just pick a service, choose a time, and confirm with their name and contact info. The whole booking takes under 30 seconds.

Create separate services for each. For example, list "Free Estimate — Bathroom Remodel (30 min)" alongside "Faucet Replacement (1 hour)." Estimates get their own time slots so they don't eat into your billable hours. You can add a description explaining what happens during the estimate visit.
