The aughtly story begins with an experiencing a common problem that is not seen as one because people have not known a better alternative before. What is the fastest way to travel across country in the 1800’s? Trains. What would have been the fastest way if it had existed? Aeroplanes! With this idea in mind we ask the question.

“What is the easiest way to get connected to local service providers that can help you with your very specific requirements?”

The common answer in the 2000’s has been the same for decades now. GOOGLE IT.

Googles great, but have you considered its flaws? Google provides static webpages. Websites are prioritised by Ad spend, SEO skills & backlinks utilisation, not actual service quality or avaliability.

If you want to find out if a bakery can custom make you a specific princess themed cake for your daughters 10th birthday. You have to call them. But what if the business is closed down and the listing is still up? What if its after hour? What if the cake shop doesn’t have capacity? What if they don’t have the skills? or the time? or the…. or the…. or the…

What if you want to price compare multiple mechanics for an oil change & wheel alignment? Well you would have to call all of them individually, repeat yourself each time and keep track of it all.

Now what if you could just send one message.

That message is sent to all the local mechanic in your area and all of them start a chat with you where they can communicate at any time in the day. The starting message is all the same. You can send photos to more accurately diagnose problems and receive more accurate quotes.

Imagine 5 gardeners receiving a photo of your lawn and asking for a quote on being mowed by tommorow. 2 can complete the task & respond with their price.

You’ve just confirmed who out of all the locals can do it and what the ones that will would charge. Amazing. Book it in, send your address and pay in person or be redirected to their website.

Thats the power of aughtly.
