Service businesses deserveto know who they're working for.
Jake's List was created to give service businesses better information before they commit their time, labor, materials, and money to the next job.
Businesses get reviewed every day.What about the customer?
Consumers have more tools than ever to research a company before deciding who to hire. They can read reviews, compare reputations, research businesses, and make a more informed decision.
But the service business on the other side of that transaction may be committing thousands of dollars in labor, materials, equipment, and scheduling with very little information about the customer.
Jake's List helps bring more information to that side of the decision.
Better information before the handshake.
Our mission is simple: help service businesses make more informed customer decisions before work begins. Jake's List brings together real service-business experiences, property intelligence, and available risk signals in one place.
More visibility
Give service businesses useful information before they commit labor, materials, and time.
Better decisions
Help businesses identify questions and potential concerns earlier in the sales process.
Shared experience
Turn individual job experiences into useful information that can help the next service business.
Experience matters onboth sides of the job.
Jake's List gives service businesses a place to share useful customer experiences after the work is done.
Reviews focus on the business relationship: payment, communication, professionalism, scope changes, disputes, and whether the service business would choose to work with that customer again.
The goal isn't to create a place for retaliation. It's to create useful context that can help another business ask better questions and make a better decision.
More context. One simple view.
A customer decision shouldn't depend on one isolated data point. Jake's List brings together multiple types of available information.
Service business experiences
Job experiences shared by businesses that have actually worked with the customer.
Risk signals
Available indicators that may help a business identify questions or potential concerns before work begins.
Property intelligence
Available ownership and property information connected to the address where the work will take place.
The principles behind Jake's List.
Better customer intelligence only works if the platform is useful, fair, and focused on helping businesses make informed decisions.
Information over guesswork
Better decisions start with better context.
Experience over assumptions
Real job experiences are more useful than speculation.
Fairness over retaliation
The platform should inform decisions, not become a weapon.
Better business relationships
Clearer expectations can help both sides of the job.
Jake's List isn't a blacklist.
The purpose of Jake's List is not to tell a service business whether it should or shouldn't work with someone. Businesses make their own decisions.
Our job is to organize available information and experiences so they can make those decisions with more context than they had before.
