EMBR for handypeople
Odd jobs, repairs and property maintenance. EMBR knows how that work gets won.
Handyperson work lives or dies on trust and responsiveness. The customer has a list of six small jobs and wants one reliable person who answers the phone.
What your customers check before they call you
These are the things people decide on when they're choosing between you and the next name on the list. EMBR checks each one and tells you which are missing.
What you will and won't do
Being clear about gas and notifiable electrical work builds trust rather than losing jobs.
How you charge
Hourly, half-day or per job — the most common reason people don't call.
Reliability
Reviews mentioning turning up on time are worth more here than any photo.
What handypeople get judged on
EMBR looks for these in readable text, not just as a badge image — because a and an can't read a picture of your logo.
- Public liability insurance
- DBS check for vulnerable-client work
- Relevant trade certificates
How the work is presented
Same job, same standard of work, two completely different results. This is the part most handypeople lose enquiries on without ever knowing.
Job variety
Loses the job
A random set of unexplained photos.
Wins the job
Grouped examples by job type so people recognise their own list.
The person
Loses the job
No photo of you anywhere.
Wins the job
A clear photo of you and your van — this trade is bought on the face.
