Finding A Pro · NPCLocal

Call a pro button only shows up if someone answers.

No more dead numbers. We hide the button until a pro is actually there.

Winding path through fields with a large tree and water tower in the distance.

You're looking for a plumber online and you see a button that says Call a Pro. You tap it. Someone picks up. That's the whole point.

For months we were showing that button even when nobody was ready to take calls. You'd dial and get voicemail. Or a dead line. That defeats the purpose of having a business directory at all.

Now the button only appears after someone claims they're ready to work. If they haven't signed up yet, you get a link to Google Maps or Apple Maps instead. You can find their real phone number yourself in seconds. It's honest and it works.
