Today wasn’t the most productive day though I met one of the Fix it Today contractors in person which was nice. My in laws needed a shower valve fixed and they used Fix it Today to get someone out and get it fixed. Productivity wise on my end was like a 10% day.
So last night my in laws decided to get their shower valve fixed. It was just going from cold to hot and not mixing the water well. They jumped on Fix it Today, found someone for today and scheduled an appointment. They got a quick response and the plumber showed up right on time this morning. I was in the area after getting my hair cut so I stopped by to meet Chris in person. Nice guy who got my in laws house fixed up. Fix it Today was a success again.
After talking to my sister in law, she didn’t seem to get a text with the appointment confirmation. I dunno if that is us issue or her cell phone issue. It seems the plumber got his messages because he quickly responded. We will have to look into it. I noticed there was a small bug that needed to get resolved. The website showed the appointment for the 17th even though the 18th was selected. Looked at the email and it showed the 18th. Small bug to fix.
Other than that, working on some Facebook sharing stuff. Nothing really to report. Looking over the future tasks and have an idea to incorporate chatGPT to verify insurance policies automatically as they are uploaded. Would love to automate the license verification but we will have to do a little work on that one because the Texas hvac and electrician license bureau won’t let you simply search by putting a license number in the URL. We will have to use puppeteer or something to mimic the moves. We will also have to write custom code for every department of every state that needs to be checked. Luckily we are starting with Texas and only need 2 sites to be done.
Cutting back on Facebook ads until the new home maintenance section is done for the app. While we did get a few jobs this week, I don’t think the amount of money we are spending is worth it. Our click through is pretty good but conversion is not. Again, I’m praying that the reminders app will get people to download the app (convert) then we will slowly remind them we are on their phone as the maintenance reminders notify them each month or whatever it is. Time will tell.
