Industries / Handymen

Marketing for handymen that ends with the phone ringing.

Your best customers are the ones you already had. Most handyman businesses lose them by next season, not because of the work, but because nobody reminded them.

A real person reads every message.

Data from Vita's own review of public Google Maps listings, updated 2026-11-08.

Where the jobs go

Where handymen lose work without knowing it.

A good handyman's best customers call again and again. Most handymen we looked at had fewer than ten reviews, so new customers cannot tell them from the guy on Craigslist.

Customers forget your name

They loved the work, but next season they search again and book whoever shows up first. The customer you already earned goes to someone else.

Happy customers who never review

Most happy customers never leave a review because nobody asks. Meanwhile the handyman with fifty reviews gets the new customers.

ChatGPT picks three names

More people now ask ChatGPT for a handyman instead of scrolling Google. It names two or three businesses, and the rest might as well not exist.

What Vita does

What Vita does for a handyman.

Everything a marketing hire would do, for $69/mo. You run it by text.

A website built to be found

A fast site with a page for every service and every town you work in, written around what customers actually search, like "handyman near me" and "handyman services". You see it before you pay anything.

Named by Google and ChatGPT

Your Google profile filled out and kept active with photos and posts from your real jobs, and the details AI assistants use when someone asks for a handyman.

Every missed call gets a text back

When you cannot pick up, the caller gets a text within seconds that answers their question and gets the job details, so they do not call the next handyman.

Reviews from customers you already have

Your past customers get a personal thank-you that asks for a review, and the happy ones leave one. It is the fastest way to catch up to the handyman with more stars.

What your customers type

  • “handyman near me”
  • “handyman services”
  • “small home repairs”
  • “drywall patch”

Your site and profile get built around searches like these, in every town you serve.

Questions

Questions handymen ask us.

How do handymen get more customers from Google?

Three things move a handyman up on Google: a complete, active Google Business Profile, a steady flow of recent reviews, and a website with a page for each service and town you work in. Vita does all three for you. For context, the median handyman we looked at had 6 reviews, so even a few new ones a month makes a visible difference.

How do I get my handyman business recommended by ChatGPT?

ChatGPT and other AI assistants recommend businesses they can find clear, consistent information about across the web: your website, your Google profile, your reviews and other listings. Vita builds and keeps those consistent, and checks what ChatGPT says about you in your area.

What does Vita cost for a handyman?

$69/mo for everything, with two weeks free first. We build your website before you pay anything, there is no contract, and if you cancel you keep the website.

Do I need to learn new software?

No. You run it by text, the way you would run anyone who works for you. Nothing public goes out without your okay.
