Yelp and HouseCall Pro announced a partnership for online booking of home service businesses directly through the Yelp platform.

HouseCall Pro, award-winning mobile software for field service management, and Yelp, a guide for reviews of local businesses, are joining together to connect consumers to home service businesses.

HouseCall Pro is the first live Yelp Platform Partner in the home services space.

By connecting HouseCall Pro’s back office operations and Yelp’s user experience, consumers will now be able to select their desired services and book their appointment time directly into the professional’s job calendar quicker.

Once the appointment is booked, service professionals will be able to continue the job process with other HouseCall Pro features such as automated invoicing, payment processing, and customer remarketing, coming full-circle back to new reviews on the professional’s Yelp page as a means to drive new customer acquisition.
