Curriculum system in the free Booked Jobs Machine (you run it). Same systems when I install for you (Booked Jobs Machine - Installed). New here? One system this week - not all 12.
At a Glance

- Time this week: 45–90 minutes
- Depends on: Systems before this one for clean data
- Unlocks: Later systems (paid, scoreboard) need this foundation
- Tools: Leak score · Templates · Checklists
Do This Week
- Run GBP Setup Prep - photos, services, hours, service areas in one doc.
- Claim or open business.google.com and finish verification if pending.
- Set primary category (Plumber or HVAC contractor) + secondary categories that match real jobs.
- Add every city/ZIP you actually serve (service-area business: usually No storefront).
- Upload 15–25 photos: truck, team, before/after, equipment, license if allowed.
Owner Checklist
- Verified listing
- Hours match website and truck
- Phone is the line you answer
- Services list with real job types (drain cleaning, water heater, AC tune-up, heat pump…)
Deep Guides
HVAC vs Plumbing
| Plumbing | HVAC | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Drain, water heater, leak, repipe - emergency language on services list. | Categories + services for AC repair, furnace, heat pump, tune-up - match peak season. |
Common Mistake
Leaving the listing on a dead phone number or old owner Google account.
