🌟 Free Social Media Audit - Ask-an-Expert! 🌟
Hey friends! I’m Kasy Allen, and I’ll be your Ask-an-Expert sidekick in the Jobber Community starting August 13th. We’re diving into all things social media: what’s working, what’s not, and how to make your page pull in the right clients without making you want to throw your phone into the void. With 20+ years in digital marketing (yep, before TikTok dances were a thing) and a heart for helping small, local businesses grow, I’ll be offering bite-sized, personalized audits of your socials... think: quick wins, smart tweaks, and zero fluff. Here’s how to jump in: 👉 Drop ONE social link in the comments (Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok) and starting August 13th, I'll spend the week auditing your socials. 👉 I’ll give you feedback on: First impression (bio, visuals, all that jazz) Your content strategy (what’s landing, what needs a refresh) How well you’re showing up for your local community You’ll walk away with tips you can actually do something with (no 80-slide webinars required). 💡Heads up: I’ll review the first link you drop so I can give each person thoughtful, no-BS feedback. Can’t wait to dig in and help you turn scrolls into sales. Let’s do this! 👊 🔺 Please note: Due to the high level of interest in this session, Kasy may not be able to complete every review. She'll do her best to get through as many as possible, prioritizing those submitted earliest. Thanks for understanding—and thanks for showing up in such a big way!

Jobbers add ons
Guys! i just want to say - DO NOT sleep on all the extras! I've been feeling like i wasn't getting a lot out of Jobber as I was only using it as a scheduling and invoicing platform, but I've been quite focussed on scaling my cleaning company lately, so i decided to start using more features Jobber has to offer... Im impressed! I didn't know i was missing out on so much! the email marketing, referrals, and google analytics are incredible! worth every penny! I've seen mixed reviews on the AI receptionist... should I add that on as well? I do Google LSA (pay per phone call) and I'm a bit nervous about having AI take those calls...
Putting in the work, but no clients yet. What would you do in my shoes?
I recently started my pool service business here in Miami. I’ve been working hard to get it off the ground, created a clean competitive website, post regularly on social media, and even hand out handwritten cards door to door. But despite all that, I’m still struggling to find clients. I know the pool industry is highly competitive here. For those of you with more experience, what helped you get customers early on? Thanks in advance 🙏 Also, if you're in Miami and ever want to connect in person, I’d be happy to meet up and exchange insights.

Hi all, We are a local fire protection company here in Los Angeles and we do both sales and service of fire extinguishers, as well as specialty fire equipment and resources. I am putting this question out there both for connections and suggestions on best developing power partnership with other local companies that work with residences, properties and businesses, to help collaborate on our services provided and add more value to them and more revenue to both partners. Example of our power partners are roofers, GC's, management companies, HOAs, solar companies, fire and water damage companies, Security and locksmith companies, Insurance agencies... Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions and love to work with you as well, if we could benefit from partnership. This, would be a more effective way to grow our businesses than social media or other passive ways I believe! Payam. Lavi | Supervisor PalFirePro.com
Invoiced twice bug - same line item
We’re having an issue with our billing process for permits. Here’s our current workflow: We send out a quote that requires a $150 deposit for pulling a permit (this is a non-refundable admin fee). Once the deposit is paid and the client wants to proceed, we pull the permit. When the permit is ready to issue, we bill the client for the actual permit cost ($100) before issuing it. So, by this stage, the client has paid a total of $250 ($150 admin + $100 permit). At the end of the job, our technicians invoice on site for the project, but they are inadvertently billing the client again for the permit cost ($100), causing it to be charged twice. How does your company handle tracking and invoicing permit fees to avoid accidentally double-billing the client at the completion of the job? What process or software has worked well for you to make sure permit costs are tracked and billed accurately throughout the job?
