Free setup kit for home-service contractors
Checklists and a 30-day plan for choosing and standing up an AI receptionist, field service software, a CRM, and review requests. Built for owners who found this directory, and for associations or vendors who want a public page to point at.
Updated (America/New_York). A checklist, not a price check and not a call result.
Start with the 30-day plan if you are choosing what to stand up first. Open your trade if the phone is the job you already know you need. Caller lines stay on the call-script pages. Dated prices stay on the directory pages.

Setup steps by trade
These pages use the situations this site already publishes for each trade. A general contractor is not a separate trade here. Mixed small-repair calls can start from the handyman page, then follow the 30-day plan for the rest of the stack.

What this kit will not do
- It will not name a winner. Directory lists keep the order they already use.
- It will not show a call result. Round 1 has not started, so nothing is scored.
- It will not invent a price. Figures stay on the dated directory pages, or on the vendor's own page.
- It does not ask for an email.
If you want someone else to configure the receptionist, done-for-you setup is a separate paid service. The kit on this page stays free either way.
Some directory pages linked from this kit include affiliate links. Those pages say so next to the link, and the link uses rel="sponsored". Vendors can also pay for a labeled placement or a faster listing check. Neither one changes list order. Disclosures · Advertise
FAQ
Is the setup kit free?
Yes. The pages are on the site. There is no account and no email wall.
Does the kit include call results?
No. Round 1 has not started, so nothing is scored. Call scripts are the words and the pass rules. They are linked from each trade page, not copied here as grades.
Will this tell me which tool to buy?
No. It is the order of work. Prices and list order stay on the directory pages. Those lists are not rearranged for affiliates or sponsors.
Can an association or a vendor link to this?
Yes. The pages are public. A link is not a paid placement. Paid placements and faster listing checks are described on the advertise page, and they do not change list order.
What if I am a general contractor?
This directory does not have a general-contracting trade. Start with the 30-day plan. If the calls are a mix of small repairs, the handyman scripts are the closest set we publish.
TradeTested is independent. We may earn a commission from some links, and sponsored placements are always labeled. How we make money · How we verify
