Crewelo

Crewelo is a two-sided local services marketplace and business growth platform. It allows consumers to find and book trusted local professionals (plumbers, photographers, caterers, barbers, dentists, tutors, home repair, etc.) in their area, while providing service professionals with tools to list their business, get a professional AI-built contractor website, and receive qualified leads. The homepage showcases a search-driven marketplace with verified businesses, real reviews, clear availability, and category browsing — all with a bright, modern design featuring a signature lime-green (#b6f23a) brand color.

• Availability indicator per business: Shows which areas the business serves (e.g., "Serves 10–50 km")

• Hard to find reliable local service pros: Consumers struggle to find vetted, trustworthy local businesses for projects big and small
• Small businesses invisible online: Independent local professionals lack visibility and a professional web presence to attract customers
• No centralized local marketplace: Fragmented options like Google, Yelp, social media — no dedicated platform for local service discovery and booking
• Uncertainty about availability: Hard to know which local pros are available when you need them, and whether they serve your area
• Trust & verification concerns: Consumers worry about hiring unverified or unreliable service providers
• Small business lead generation: Local businesses need a professional website that actually generates leads, not just a static online brochure
• Difficulty comparing options: No easy way to compare multiple local businesses side by side for a specific service need

For consumers (finding services): Use the search bar on the homepage to type your needed service (e.g., "plumber," "dentist," "personal trainer") and your location (city or zip code), then click "Find a business." You can also browse by category using the circular quick-links or the 8-category grid. Each business card shows ratings, reviews, availability status, service area, and category — click through to view details and book.

You can get a free AI-built contractor website that attracts leads, list your services in the marketplace, and reach new customers in your neighborhood.
