Runza for local service pros

From a call to getting paid — without a team behind you.

Who this is for

Runza is built for the local service pro running the business alone or with a small crew: cleaning, landscaping, handyman work, pet care, HVAC, or any trade where the job happens at a customer's address and the paperwork happens after hours. If your site is a single page you built three years ago and never touched again, your customer list is a phone's contact app, and half of last month's invoices never actually got sent, this page is for you. Runza and Ace, its AI co-founder, run the office side of the business, so the hours after a job are for the next job, not admin.

The usual pattern: a customer calls, you write the job on a pad or remember it, you do the work, and the invoice goes out whenever you get around to it, which some months is never. A repeat customer from eight months ago is a name you half-recognize instead of a job history you can look up. None of that is about being disorganized. It is what happens when the only system is memory.

The jobs Ace actually handles

Ace runs these directly, so the office side stops depending on memory:

  • The site. Describe your service and your area, and Ace builds a real, live site on your own domain, built to show up in local search, not a template with your logo swapped in.
  • Every job and customer. Calls, quotes, and repeat customers live in one CRM, with a flag for who needs a follow-up and a drafted message ready to send.
  • Quotes and invoices. Turn a job into a quote, then an invoice with a payment link, from the same place, so you actually know your real profit for the month.
  • Marketing between jobs. Email and social posts drafted and scheduled from what your business actually does, so the next job does not depend on remembering to post something.

What you stop duct-taping together

The common version of this business runs on a site nobody has touched since it launched, a separate scheduling app, a paper invoice book or a generic invoicing app with no job history attached, and a Facebook page that gets posted to whenever someone remembers. We call the connective tissue between all of that the Frankenstack, and here it shows up as a repeat customer nobody recognized, because nothing kept their job history in one place. Runza keeps the customer, the job, and the invoice as one record instead of scattered across four tools.

Runza vs what local service pros actually compare it to

The real alternatives here are usually one of these three:

  • "I'll build the site myself this weekend." Understandable, and it is also how a business ends up running on a page from three years ago that nobody has updated since. A site with no CRM behind it still means every lead gets copied by hand into wherever the customer list actually lives.
  • A separate scheduling app plus a separate invoicing app. Each one does its job, and neither knows a customer booked last month is the same person getting invoiced this month, so the job history has to be pieced together by hand.
  • GoHighLevel.Common in local-service marketing specifically for its funnels and automations. It is genuinely built for an agency running many local businesses' marketing at once, which is a lot of platform for the one business that is actually yours.

Runza is sized for the business itself, not the agency managing several of them.

Fit, and not a fit

Runza fits if you
  • Run a local service business solo or with a small crew
  • Want the site, the customer list, and invoicing in one place
  • Need repeat customers recognized, not re-explained every time
It is not a fit if you
  • Run a restaurant or food service business
  • Manage marketing for many separate local businesses as an agency
  • Already have a connected scheduling-to-invoicing stack that works

Questions, answered

I don't have time to manage marketing — how hands-off is this?+

Ace drafts the emails and posts; you approve them and they go out. It's built for someone with zero spare hours, not a marketing habit to keep up.

Can customers find and book me through the site?+

Yes — the site is real and live on your own domain, built to show up in search and get in touch, not a mockup you still have to launch somewhere else.

What does it cost?+

Runza Pro is $69/mo and includes the site, CRM, invoicing, and marketing. Starter is $14/mo for a leaner start. See /pricing, and what it replaces on /compare.

Does this replace my scheduling app and my invoicing app?+

For most solo or small-crew operations, yes — both live in the same CRM, tied to the same customer and job history, instead of two tools that don't know about each other.

Is this the same kind of tool as GoHighLevel?+

GoHighLevel is built for agencies running marketing for many local businesses at once. Runza is built for the one business you actually run. See /compare/runza-vs-gohighlevel for the full breakdown.
