Google Search now connects you with plumbers, electricians, house cleaners and locksmiths

Google is at hand’s reach whenever you need help for anything, but so far looking for home services has involved multiple steps. The Search Giant is now making it easier on home service workers and customers to get in touch with each other.

Google is testing a new feature in which certain search queries offer results with a list of people qualified to take care of your needs. That would include electricians, plumbers, house cleaners, locksmiths and handymen.

When people in supported areas search for something like “clogged toilet”, dirty house or “lock repair”, there will now be more than just links to a bunch of websites showing you how to take care of business yourself. Results will include names, ratings, phone numbers and an option to “Send request”. All of this will be accessible straight from Google’s Search results; no need to browse around.

And no need to worry about quality or security – these servicemen would pay to be ranked higher in the list, but that’s only after having been screened and qualified by Google. All businesses would have to go through license, procedure and background checks, as well as mystery shopping.

Want in? Sadly, Google is not making a widespread release of this feature just yet. It is only available for people in (and around) San Francisco. The rest of us will have to wait and continue making full searches for all our needs. If you are in the San Francisco area, the feature should be available since Friday, August 28th. Go test it! Let’s hope this comes to other markets soon enough!
