    Great idea to use Angie’s list and Home Advisor to find specific tasks to target on to not get lost in the main stream of just handyman services.

    I like SEOBook.com’s free keyword tool. There is also Spyfu.com for competitor research. You can see what home advisor or Angie is doing.

    I’m a big fan of Nextdoor.com! After building a reputation of just 10 reviews I saw a spike in business gained. In fact, I estimate that it gave me 50% of my work. I don’t use Yelp but do have a Google Adwords. The Adwords really doesn’t cost much since the search phrases around my niche are very tiny. Perhaps in a major city it would be better. If you want to succeed you will need to do content marketing and specifically short articles on every little thing in your niche.
