Nextdoor Launches Local Partnership Network to Better Connect Neighbors with Local Service Professionals

Neighbors turn to Nextdoor everyday to find trusted, useful, and relevant local information to address their daily needs. One of the most popular conversations we hear happening in neighborhoods across the country is neighbors seeking recommendations for the best local professionals in their area. Contractors, gardeners, handymen, tutors, furniture assembly, dog walkers– you name it. In fact, neighbors have given over 40 million recommendations to date. 

Take for instance Nextdoor member John K. in Bonita Springs, Florida. When looking for a reliable glass door installation expert, John turned to Nextdoor to see who his fellow Bonita Springs neighbors have used and loved. Neighbors connected John with someone nearby who had a huge selection of glass doors to choose from. They took their time to educate John on each available option, laying out the pros and cons and left the final decision up to him. John shared with us that the installation was scheduled quickly and performed professionally, and he is extremely happy with the results and his overall experience.

We are constantly making improvements that not only provide neighbors with more relevant information, but also connect them to the best local professionals to help get everyday jobs done. That’s why we are excited to announce Nextdoor’s Local Partnership Network, enabling partners a way to integrate local service professionals into the Nextdoor platform that match members’ needs. Starting today, neighbors will be able to find top-rated, vetted professionals from the Handy, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack networks. 

Handy, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack are all leaders in connecting people with skilled, reliable local service providers. These brands share Nextdoor’s core value of investing in community by helping local service providers build successful businesses and connecting them with their most valuable customers– neighbors. With these new partnerships, Nextdoor members in the U.S. will now be able to find and book trusted, top-rated professionals, ranging from plumbers to photographers, that are tailored for their specific tasks, all from within Nextdoor.

To find a pro in your neighborhood, simply log in to Nextdoor and search for the service you are looking for. Your search results will display a list of suggested trusted professionals in your area so you can learn more about their work and schedule a service.

This is just the beginning as we continue to work with partners who can help us connect neighbors to the best available professionals in their communities. Happy searching!
