Hank figures out the work.

You do not need to diagnose the problem or know the service category. Describe what is happening, send a photo, or forward a home inspection. Hank identifies the likely jobs, explains the priorities, and only posts what you approve.

Start with what you need.
Hank handles who to call.

A real job is worth more than a hundred leads.

Local businesses spend hundreds on directories and shared leads that may never answer. Hank gives them a homeowner who is ready, a clear job, and a real timeline — so they can bid instead of buying another name.

Straight answers
about Hank.

How are local pros vetted?

Standards vary by category and market. Hank may review reputation, licensing, and insurance when relevant, but you should always verify a business's credentials before hiring.

What does Hank cost?

Posting a request is planned to be free during the private beta. Pros set their own prices, and you will see any Hank fee before agreeing to it.

Who sees my information?

Only the request details needed to prepare a bid should be shared with a limited set of relevant businesses. Hank does not sell your contact information as a lead.

Where is Hank available?

The beta will begin with limited locations and categories. If Hank cannot find a suitable local option, it will tell you rather than force a match.
