EvoNexus graduate Housecall Pro has announced an integration with AI Mode in Google Search that gives home service professionals a new way to be discovered and booked by homeowners searching for local service providers. The announcement came on November 4, and the Housecall Pro AI Mode integration is coming soon to eligible US customers.
How the Housecall Pro AI Mode Integration Works
Through the integration, all Housecall Pro users will be eligible to appear in AI Mode at no additional cost, expanding their opportunities to connect with homeowners actively searching for service providers. Pros can display their real-time availability, verified reviews and service area, while homeowners can book an appointment directly from the search experience.
The request is sent straight to the selected Pro’s Housecall Pro Inbox, streamlining the path from discovery to appointment request, with no associated lead fees or bidding.
For homeowners, the Housecall Pro AI Mode integration brings more real-time business information into AI Mode, making it easier to find local professionals who are available to help when they need service.
“Speed Wins in the Trades”
Roland Ligtenberg, Co-Founder and Chief AI Officer at Housecall Pro, put the value of the Housecall Pro AI Mode integration in simple terms: “Speed wins in the trades. The homeowner asking Google for a plumber hires whoever can come today, and now that’s one of our Pros. One request, one Pro, no lead fee, no bidding war. A shop can’t get this on its own. It comes with the platform that runs the business, and every Housecall Pro already has it.”
AI That Keeps Working After the Booking
The integration builds on Housecall Pro’s approach to AI as an engine for business growth, not simply administrative efficiency. Once a request reaches the Housecall Pro platform, its built-in AI can help Pros respond quickly, quote and confirm the job, and engage the customer through job completion, payment and follow-up. Pros can learn more about the Housecall Pro AI Mode integration on the company’s Google AI partner page, and the full announcement is available on GlobeNewswire.
From the Demo Day Stage to Google Search
Housecall Pro is no stranger to the EvoNexus spotlight. The company was one of seven graduate companies that presented at EvoNexus Demo Day 2024 at Qualcomm’s Irwin M. Jacobs Hall in San Diego. Ahead of that event, Housecall Pro had introduced its AI Team, a set of AI-enabled specialist roles that Pros could bring on, including a business coach, analyst and customer service representative.
At the time, the company served more than 45,000 home service businesses. Today, it describes a platform trusted by more than 200,000 home service professionals who have served 1 in 4 American homes. That AI focus carries straight into the Housecall Pro AI Mode integration. We have also followed the company’s progress since, including its biggest platform release yet.
Demo Day 2026 Is Coming Up on November 30
Housecall Pro’s path from the Demo Day stage to the Housecall Pro AI Mode integration is exactly the kind of story we hope to see more of, and the next chapter of Demo Day is right around the corner. EvoNexus Demo Day 2026 takes place on Monday, November 30, from 3 PM to 7 PM at the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall in San Diego. Doors open at 3:00 PM for the showcase in the lobby.
Startups from across the EvoNexus incubator will take the stage, and after weeks of pitch practice, each founder gets a single slide and three minutes to explain what they are building and why it matters. When the last pitch ends, the audience votes for the winner. Get your tickets here.
What This Means for EvoNexus
Housecall Pro is a strong example of what happens after graduation. A company that took the Demo Day stage in 2024 is now tying its platform directly into Google Search, putting its Pros in front of homeowners who are actively searching for help. The Housecall Pro AI Mode integration is the kind of growth we aim to support across the EvoNexus portfolio as our companies scale.
Congratulations to the entire Housecall Pro team on this milestone.
