Catch urgent home service leads in local Facebook groups

When someone needs a plumber or electrician today, response time matters. Tropado monitors selected public and private groups from our own accounts and catches these posts before they get buried. Your Facebook account is never connected or used.

  • Public and private groups
  • Tropado's own accounts
  • Your account stays disconnected

Key difference

Private groups too. Your account stays out.

Many monitoring tools stop at public content or rely on a customer's account. Tropado works differently. We use our own monitoring accounts.

01

Private groups included

When our monitoring account is accepted by the group's admins, Tropado can monitor posts inside that private group.

02

Our accounts, not yours

You never share a login, password, active session or access to your Facebook profile.

No ban risk to your Facebook account from Tropado monitoring. We do not connect to or use your account. Monitoring runs from our own accounts and infrastructure.

A customer with an urgent repair will not wait all day for a reply

A homeowner asks neighbors for a trusted professional because they want to solve the problem quickly and avoid a bad choice. If you check groups by hand, you may see the post only after the customer is already speaking with someone else.

Useful monitoring understands trade, service radius, and urgency. It should distinguish a homeowner looking for a plumber from a plumber promoting their company or someone asking only for DIY advice.

Tropado delivers a signal, but it does not verify the poster or diagnose the repair. Confirm the issue, address, timing, pricing, and service terms before accepting the job.

High-intent local service posts

Priority can depend on the service type, language that signals an emergency, and distance from your base.

01

Urgent repair

The homeowner needs fast help with plumbing, electrical, HVAC, locks, or an appliance.

  • need help today
  • emergency
  • not working
02

Recommendation request

The author asks local neighbors to recommend a trusted individual or company.

  • who do you recommend
  • trusted plumber
  • looking for a pro
03

Planned service

The need is not an emergency, but it has a clear scope and timing, such as installation or maintenance.

  • AC installation
  • annual service
  • need an estimate

From local signal to booked visit

Fast response works best when you know which calls to accept and who owns the reply.

  1. 01

    Select services

    List the exact repair, installation, and maintenance work you want.

  2. 02

    Set the radius

    Add cities, neighborhoods, or maximum travel distance for each service.

  3. 03

    Define urgency

    Give emergency needs higher priority than planned work and broad questions.

  4. 04

    Prepare triage

    Ask about symptoms, photos, address, access, timing, and trip charges.

See the service, location, and urgency immediately

A dispatcher can quickly assess whether the request is inside the service area and when the homeowner needs help.

Frequently asked questions

Which home service companies can use this?

Examples include plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, locksmiths, appliance repair, installers, and other businesses serving local homeowner needs.

Can I limit alerts to a few neighborhoods?

Yes. Location or travel radius can be used for both matching and alert priority.

Can Tropado monitor private local groups without my account?

Yes. After one of our own monitoring accounts is accepted by a private group's admins, Tropado can monitor it without connecting to your Facebook account. Monitoring does not put your account at risk of a ban.

Does Tropado reply to the homeowner automatically?

No. The alert goes to your team, and you publish the response yourself according to group rules and your service process.

Is every request verified?

No. Tropado evaluates the post text. Verify the customer, address, scope, and terms before providing service.

Do not miss the next job in your service area.

We can include public and private local groups. Monitoring runs from Tropado's accounts, never your Facebook account.
