Problem
Local service businesses often struggle to maintain an active social media presence, keep their online listings up‑to‑date, and respond promptly to customer inquiries because they lack dedicated marketing staff and time.
Solution
ExtraHandz offers an AI‑driven automation platform that assigns virtual agents to handle specific marketing and communication tasks. Users interact with the agents through familiar messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, eliminating the need for new software or dashboards. The platform can schedule and post content on Facebook and Instagram, keep Google Business profiles accurate, answer customer messages across multiple channels, and run targeted ad campaigns. All agents operate 24/7, ensuring continuous engagement even outside business hours. Subscription plans let businesses start with basic social media support and add additional agents as they grow.
Target Audience
Small and mid‑sized local service businesses such as auto repair shops, cleaning services, real estate agents, and local dining establishments that need marketing support but lack dedicated staff.
