The 6 tools LocalHelpNow offers

ToolWhat it does
find_prosThe local pros LocalHelpNow lists for one trade in one town, in the order the directory page shows them (Google rating weighted by review count). Each result has the business name, rating, review count, town and the profile page where the h
Inputs: trade, town, state, limit
get_answerOne answer in full: the direct answer first, then price tables with the source and the date they were checked, the repair-or-replace rule and its limits, and the FAQs. Every price range carries where the number came from.
Inputs: trade, slug
how_pros_are_checkedWhat LocalHelpNow checks before matching a pro (state license, insurance), what it does not do or guarantee, how the directory is ordered, what it costs the homeowner, and what happens if a pro does not work out. Quoted from the site.
how_to_get_a_proWhat LocalHelpNow does for a homeowner and how the match works, with a link that starts a free match to one pro. Pass trade and area to prefill the request. Does not create a request: the homeowner enters their own details on the page.
Inputs: trade, area
list_answer_topicsEvery question the LocalHelpNow Answer Layer covers, by trade: what broke, what a fair price looks like, and whether to repair or replace.
Inputs: trade
list_service_areasEvery trade and town the LocalHelpNow directory has listed pros for, with how many pros each town has and the directory page URL. Optional filters by trade and state.
Inputs: trade, state
