Most contractors never publish their finished jobs. We turn every closed job into a geo-tagged check-in, service page content, and Map Pack visibility: the DataPins alternative done for you.
HouseCall Pro & Jobber sync No contracts You own the assets
Jobsite Pins for contractors are geo-tagged job posts that publish to your own website every time a job closes. Each one proves to Google you work in that city, feeding Map Pack and organic rankings.
The self-improving website
Your crew keeps working. Your website builds itself.
Nothing changes for your techs. They log the job in the CRM they already use (Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, whatever you’ve got). Augernaut takes it from there and posts it to your site as real, indexable content. This is that page, on a real phone, on a site we build and run.
This is proof-of-work marketing: the jobs you already finish, working as the pages that win the next one.

Jobsite check-ins for contractors
Every job is a chance to show up.
Every job your crew closes in Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan publishes itself to your site as a photo-backed post. Homeowners see that other people trust you. Google sees fresh, keyword-rich content and longer dwell time, and your Map Pack, organic rankings, and booked jobs move.

If Google can’t read it, it can’t rank you.
Most check-in tools load from a third-party widget or iframe, content Google often never crawls, indexes, or credits to your domain. You’re paying to decorate someone else’s platform. We publish every job as native HTML on your own site, so Google reads it as yours and it feeds your rankings. Same jobs, same photos, finally indexed. Running one of those widgets today?

The Google Maps PlaybookJobsite Pins FAQ
Jobsite Pins questions.
What are Jobsite Pins?
Jobsite Pins are local proof posts built from completed contractor jobs. Each pin captures the service, city, field photos, and job context, then publishes to your website and Google Business Profile, so Maps, SEO, and conversion all get fresh field activity to work with.
How are Jobsite Pins different from DataPins?
DataPins requires your techs to check in on-site, and your check-ins live on their platform. We handle every post from the back end (no app, nothing for your crews to learn, no missed pins), and everything publishes to your own website. We pull job data from ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber the moment a job closes. Your techs do not touch a thing.
How much does DataPins cost compared to Jobsite Pins?
DataPins does not publish its pricing. Its site sends you to sales for a quote. Jobsite Pins is a flat $500 per month, published on this page, with no contract and no setup fee.
Can I move my DataPins history to my own website?
Yes. We moved two full years of Clog Hunter’s DataPins posts onto their own website, and average page views per visitor went from 1.9 to 4.6 afterward. Your past jobs keep working for you instead of starting over.
Is DataPins a better fit for some contractors?
Yes. If you want software your own crew runs, and your techs will reliably check in on every job, DataPins does that. Jobsite Pins is for owners who want the posts handled for them straight from the CRM, with nothing for the crew to remember.
Can Jobsite Pins use Housecall Pro, Jobber, or ServiceTitan data?
Yes. Jobsite Pins pull closed-job data from Housecall Pro, Jobber, and ServiceTitan: job details, service type, city, photos, and field notes from the workflow you already run. Scope depends on what your team already captures.
Do Jobsite Pins help Google Business Profile rankings?
Yes. Steady jobsite proof gives your GBP fresh photos, posts, and local activity Maps can read. Paired with reviews, you look more active than competitors running stale profiles.
Do Jobsite Pins help SEO?
Yes, alongside SEO, not instead of it. Jobsite Pins publish geo-tagged job content to your city and service pages. Contractor SEO builds the foundation; Jobsite Pins supply the field activity that makes it believable.
How many Jobsite Pins posts are included?
Jobsite Pins includes up to 50 jobsite proof posts per month. Each one is built from a completed job, its service, city, and field photos, so your website, GBP, and local SEO get a steady cadence.
How fast does Jobsite Pins work?
Most clients see local rankings move within 60 to 90 days. The more jobs you run, the faster it builds.
What does Jobsite Pins cost?
Flat $500 per month. No contracts, no setup fees, cancel anytime. Up to 50 geo-tagged jobsite proof posts per month.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep everything. Your jobs live on your own website as native content, not a widget on our platform, so nothing goes dark and your proof keeps ranking. You also keep the upload tool: a simple form your office staff uses to post a job, photos and all. We train your team on it at launch.

Stop losing calls to competitors.
We’ll audit your local footprint and show how many job posts you could be publishing each month. Nothing for your techs to do.
