Questions
Is Tegora like Hibu?
In one way: we do the work for you. The differences are that we only work with home service businesses, we answer every lead as part of the system, and after 90 days it is month to month.
What does Tegora cost?
One monthly fee for the whole system and the people running it. We quote it on the first call, after looking at your business, because a roofer and a cleaning company need different things.
Am I locked into a long contract?
The first 90 days cover the install and your first two monthly sprints. After that it is month to month.
Who owns the website and data?
You do: the site, the domain, your Google profile and every lead. Tegora runs the system on top of them, and you keep all of it if you leave.
Who is Tegora for?
Owner-run home service businesses doing roughly $20K to $80K a month with a crew, mostly in DC, Maryland and Virginia. If that is not you, we will say so on the call.
