Google Joining Amazon in The Home Repair Act

By Editor May 1, 2015
The Tuesday blog update was about Amazon getting into the home repair business (or at least, the business of locating home repair services). It looks like Google wants in on the act, too. Rumors are circulating that the search giant will be augmenting its comparative mortgage and insurance tools with the ability to search for local services. It’s not yet clear how this would be different from the current, Google local results, but one thing is certain. If both Google and Amazon are entering a market, there’s bound to be disruption. Keep your eyes open as you search for your local plumber, and see how Google is changing things.
