GOLDEN, Colo., May 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- HomeAdvisor, an
operating business of ANGI Homeservices (NASDAQ: ANGI), today
announced that the company is powering a new way for consumers to
seamlessly book a home services appointment through Facebook
Marketplace. Through Facebook Marketplace, consumers can search and
be matched with service providers who perform a variety of tasks,
including HomeAdvisor service professionals. Consumers can then
easily communicate and request quotes directly with their matches
via Messenger.
"Facebook Marketplace helps businesses reach consumers on a
platform they are already turning to for everyday needs, making it
easier than ever for service professionals in our network to reach
new customers and for consumers to seamlessly hire one of our
trusted service professionals for hundreds of tasks, from plumbing
and cleaning to home renovations," said Chris Terrill, CEO of ANGI Homeservices.
Prior to being accepted into HomeAdvisor's network, business
owners undergo criminal and financial background checks. Since the
company's launch in 1999, HomeAdvisor has received millions of
project requests from consumers looking for service professionals
to help them complete home projects.
"Facebook Marketplace seamlessly bridges the gap between search
and social," said Terrill. "HomeAdvisor is excited to be at the
forefront of home services, allowing consumers to book home service
pros through the world's leading social media platform."
