When I was in college in Michigan, I lost my scholarships, and I needed to do odd jobs or make income quickly, or I was going to be homeless. I created a pressure-washing business, and found a hole that several platforms do not cover. Originally started off as Kickback, experimented to solve low retention rates, and that's where we got GigNGo. Allowing small contractors to be able to have great-looking profiles to get more clients instead of relying on Facebook Groups and old business cards.
This is the 2nd launch from GigNGo. View more
GigNGo
Launched this week
GigNGo is a no-lead-fee local services marketplace. Post a task free and compare offers from nearby locals — or do the work and keep 100% of what you earn (no lead fees, no commission, unlike Thumbtack or Angi). 30 home-service categories, all 50 US states. We publish our marketplace data openly: real cost guides (gigngo.org/costs), what locals earn per job (gigngo.org/earnings), and a public API + MCP server so AI assistants can search jobs and workers directly (gigngo.org/mcp).

Would love to see a built-in scheduling or booking tool right on the profile. A lot of contractors I know waste tons of time texting back and forth to set up jobs, so having clients pick a time slot directly would save everyone a headache and make the platform stickier.
honestly the Facebook groups comparison hits home, that's basically how i found my handyman for years. one thing that would actually help contractors like me back then would be a built-in review system with photos from past jobs, kind of like how uber shows trip history. helps build trust fast when you're trying to win someone over who's never heard of you before
Congrats on the launch, the story behind it really resonates. One thing that would help small contractors like the pressure washing biz you started is a built-in scheduling or booking calendar so clients can pick a time slot directly from the profile instead of going back and forth over messages.
