HomeGauge announces the all new HG Business Scheduler!
Out with the old and in with the new! Existing users switched several months ago and have been enjoying its new features and flexibility. Other HG users who never used or didn't like our old HG calendar, I present to you the most innovative scheduler on the market:
The HG Business Scheduler is here!
Designed for teams or individuals, with more choices and more efficient use of your time, this scheduler can bend time like no other scheduling system can. It can help make you more money and increase your productivity! You have got to try it. You might pay upwards of $60 a month for other products on the market, but it's free every day as part of the HG Services. If you already use HG Services, just click on "My Business Scheduler" from your HG Dashboard. If you are not in our HG Services, or want to try it again free for 30 days and see how this calendar can make you money, click here.
See how you can save time!
New online tours available here!
Coming soon: Business Scheduler's Timed Released Messaging (TRM). Send email templates you create at timed intervals, such as 3 months, 6 months, 11 months, etc., all based on the uploaded report. Get ready for the annual inspection program you can offer to your customers using the HG Business Scheduler's TRM.

Tip for all HG'ers: Display your company logo
Are you displaying your logo everywhere possible on HG Services? Make sure your logo has been uploaded. Here’s what you need to do:
- Sign into HomeGauge.com and go to the Dashboard.
- Under Settings and Options, go to the Marketing/Search Options.
- In the Company Logo section, click on "Browse" and locate a local copy of your logo. You can also choose a color, which is used in a few places, such as on your uploaded report header.
- Click on the "Save Changes" button.
With your logo uploaded, it will display on your uploaded report header, your customer's report page, your listing page, payment gateway page, and even more places in the near future.
Marketing Tip of the month
Many of our users are reporting success in using American Home Warranty to set themselves apart from their competition. Your customers will appreciate the extra level of protection you have given them, with one click of your mouse on your uploaded reports page. It's easy, inexpensive, and impresses all parties involved.
Website Tip: Beware of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) companies that charge you for what you can do for FREE!
Did you know:
- You, the site owner, can do everything that an SEO company can do — FOR FREE!
- Google Webmaster tools will give you all the diagnostics and information about your site — FOR FREE!
- The HomeGauge SiteBuilder is 100% compatible with Google Webmaster tools!
- All that an SEO company does is insert themselves between you, the site owner, and the search engine. Why pay someone to do what you can do for free?
Before you hire an SEO company, contact us first to make sure their strategies are compatible with the HG Site Builder, which is a database-driven, content management system. HomeGauge cannot be held responsible if you use and pay an SEO company for modifications that are not compatible with our HG Site Builder.
