Service Stories transforms every completed job into a growth engine. Your work orders become AI-optimized blog posts, social media content, Google Business Profile updates, and review responses that rank when customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI where to go. While your competitors fight over yesterday's SEO tactics, you're building the content moat that makes you the authority AI engines cite—the business they recommend when people ask for help. Start free, scale to unlimited content, and watch your traffic grow 200-400% as you turn operational data into competitive advantages your competitors literally cannot replicate. Platform-agnostic, cross-industry capable, and built for the AI-search future happening right now. Stop being invisible to the customers actively looking for exactly what you do.
Service Stories generates 2 to unlimited AI-optimized stories per month (depending on your plan) by transforming actual work orders into content that ranks in both traditional search engines and AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Each story publishes automatically across your website, blog, Google Business Profile, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Premium plans include an AI-optimized website, and all plans feature professional review responses generated from your actual job details. This is content marketing built from operational data.
Service Stories focuses on content automation with scheduled publishing calendars that distribute your stories across all platforms simultaneously. Automated reminders and hands-on management are available as an add-on service ($599/month). The platform integrates with 50+ shop management systems including Tekmetric, ShopMonkey, and Jobber, giving you flexibility regardless of your operational software. No online booking or two-way texting is included—those aren't part of the content marketing focus.
Service Stories provides unique AI-era analytics that track your rankings in AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI) and monitor which AI bots visit your website and generate referrals.
