What you get on Meep
A website is step one. This is the rest of the business.
- The website is included. Core ships a custom site on your own custom domain. The site is one part of the plan, not the whole bill.
- Booking that lives in the site. Customers book from your site, and it lands on the same calendar you work from.
- Recurring visits handled. Weekly, monthly, and quarterly jobs auto-create and auto-remind, and Meep routes and dispatches them.
- Get paid, and know your customers. Quotes, invoices, card on file, and a full record for every customer, all tied to the work.
- One bill, one login. Site, booking, invoicing, phone, and routing are one subscription, not a website plan plus a scheduling plan.
