Best Jobber Automations
I just wanted to get a post going for these. They can be super powerful in your business and I feel like they don't get talked about enough sometimes. What are your best Jobber automations you have set up?? I really enjoy dashboards myself that give more custom information about my business. I like to use Airtable / Asana / Zapier. Cheers !New Google Search Features: Online Estimates Filter and “Have AI Check Prices” — what does this mean for service pros?
Google has recently started rolling out new pricing-related features in local home service search, and they could impact how service businesses get discovered. Two early changes we’re seeing: “Online estimates” filter Google is beginning to surface an Online estimates filter in some home service searches. Early signs suggest businesses that provide clear, machine-readable pricing or instant estimates may be favored over generic contact forms. “Have AI check prices” or “Ask AI for Pricing” feature Google is also testing an AI feature that gathers pricing on a homeowner’s behalf by using AI to call businesses and collect price quotes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=illIa8LSfY0 These features are still new and evolving, but they raise big questions about pricing transparency, estimates, and local search visibility. We’re curious: Have you noticed either of these features in your area yet? Do you currently show pricing or estimate ranges online? Do changes like this make you rethink how you approach pricing and Google visibility? Would love to hear what service pros are seeing so far 👇Does Jobber's AI Receptionist distinguish spam calls from actual customers.
I’m currently using open phone it’s a Ai receptionist that’s integrated with jobber. I like it but it picks up all the spam calls and that impacts the amount of actual calls from customers it can take. Does jobber Ai receptionist distinguish spam calls?Using AI in your in person quoting?
I walk with clients during my in person estimate and I hear their pain points, their frustrations, their real-life struggles. But here is the thing, how many of those golden nuggets are we actually capturing and leveraging? I have started using AI to transcribe and analyze my client walkthroughs, and it has become a bit of a game-changer. Suddenly, that offhand comment Jennifer made about never having her whole house clean at once? That's not just a conversation, it is a marketing goldmine, relatability and authenticity. It is the real struggle our ideal clients are facing. But I am curious: How are you leveraging your client conversations? Are you capturing those golden nuggets, their pain points, their objections, the emotional drivers and turning them into content, testimonials, or business insights? What tools or strategies are working for you to extract the real value from your client interactions?Are you using AI in your business yet or still “just curious”?

How do junk removal businesses build systems and processes as they grow?
I co-own a junk removal company in South Carolina. We have seen fairly rapid growth over the last 3 years and are now looking to create more structure within our business because we are approaching the size where we can no longer handle all of the management on our own. We are trying to write down systems and processes to build an operations manual/playbook, buuuut neither my business partner nor I are gifted with systems/organization/implementation... Does anyone have any good advice on where to start, especially for vision/big picture-oriented entrepreneurs? Thank you!What’s your go-to move when a customer doesn’t pay on time?

Using AI and Voice to Capture Job Notes and Follow-Ups in Real Time
Hi everyone, I wanted to start a discussion around how home service teams capture job notes, follow-ups, and action items during busy workdays, especially while on-site, on calls, or moving between jobs in Jobber. In many service workflows, essential details come up verbally: - Notes after a customer conversation - Follow-ups discussed on the phone - Reminders during travel between jobs These often get entered into the system later, which can lead to missed context or extra admin work at the end of the day. One approach we’ve been exploring is using AI-powered voice input through tools like Gennie, where teams can speak notes or tasks and have them synced back into their existing systems while Jobber remains the system of record. I’m interested to hear from others here: - How do you currently capture job notes or follow-ups when typing isn’t convenient? - Do you update everything in real time or batch it later? - Would voice-based input be helpful in field operations, or does it create more overhead? Looking forward to learning how others approach AI and operations in real-world home service workflows.
