The Power of the Integration

Geo-Pinned Where You Work

Every checkin drops a pin at the actual job site — not your office. Google sees you active across your entire service area, helping you rank in every neighborhood you serve.

Before & After Photos

Automatically pull photos from completed Dispatch Scout jobs into your checkins. Choose first, last, or the classic before-and-after pair. Rich visual proof that converts browsers into callers.

AI-Enhanced Content

Optionally use AI to transform basic job notes into polished, professional checkin descriptions — unique content that Google rewards and homeowners trust.

Structured for Google

Every checkin and review is wrapped in perfect schema.org markup. Google doesn't have to guess — it sees exactly what you did, where, and how happy the customer was.

You Own Everything

Your checkins. Your reviews. Your content. Stay because it works, not because your data is locked away. Full ownership from day one.

Amplify Everywhere

Share your best work to Facebook, X, and Google Business Profile. One completed job becomes content across every channel that drives calls.

Zero Extra Work for Your Techs

Without the Integration

  • Techs must remember to open a second app
  • Manual data entry for every job
  • Photos uploaded separately
  • Compliance drops off — jobs get missed
  • Local SEO left on the table

With Dispatch Scout + Nearby Now

  • Tech just closes the job — that's it
  • Checkin created automatically with job data
  • Photos pulled in from the job automatically
  • 100% of jobs get captured — every time
  • Local rankings grow on autopilot
