Everything you need to know about finding painters or launching your AI-powered business page on Painters.city.

For Homeowners 6 questions

How do I find a painter in my city? +
Go to our All Cities page and click your city. You'll see a list of local painting contractors — browse their profiles, check descriptions and ratings, then contact whoever looks right directly by phone or website. Premium painters also have an AI-powered page that answers your questions instantly.
Is it free to use Painters.city as a homeowner? +
Yes, completely free. No account required, no subscription, no fees of any kind. Browse as many cities and listings as you want, and contact painters directly at no cost — including chatting with their AI pages.
Do I need to create an account to contact a painter? +
No account needed. Every listing shows the painter's phone number and website link. You click or call directly — there's no signup, no form, and no waiting for a callback from our platform.
What is the AI page I see on some listings? +
Premium painters have their own AI-powered business page. It's like chatting with a knowledgeable rep from that painting company — it answers your questions about services, pricing, and availability any time of day or night. If you're satisfied, it connects you directly to the contractor.
Are the listed painters verified? +
Every listing is reviewed before going live — we require real business information including address and contact details. We're an advertising directory, not a licensing body, so we recommend verifying credentials, insurance, and references directly with any contractor before hiring.
What if I have a bad experience with a listed painter? +
Painters.city is an advertising directory and not responsible for the services provided by listed businesses. If you encounter a problem, resolve it directly with the contractor. You can also contact us to report inaccurate or misleading listing information.

For Businesses 6 questions

How do I add my painting business to the directory? +
Click Add Your Business and fill out the short form. Include your business name, city, services, phone number, and website. We review your submission and notify you once it's live — usually within a few hours, same day for most businesses.
How much does it cost to list my business? +
A standard business page is free. We also offer AI-powered business pages — you get the #1 featured spot on your city page plus a dedicated AI page that acts as your 24/7 sales assistant, answering questions and sending qualified leads to your phone. See our pricing page for current rates.
Do you charge commission on jobs I get through the directory? +
Never. Customers contact you directly using your phone number or website. We have no visibility into what happens after that, and we take no commission on any work you do. Your page fee (if any) is the only cost — ever.
Can I be listed in more than one city? +
Yes. If you serve multiple cities, you can get an AI-powered page for each one — top placement and 24/7 AI coverage across all your service markets. Contact us for multi-city packages.
How do I update or remove my listing? +
To update your listing information or remove it entirely, contact us with your business name and city and we'll make the changes promptly. AI-powered page holders can also manage updates from their dashboard.
How quickly can I launch my AI-powered business page? +
You can launch your AI-powered business page in as little as 60 seconds. Fill out the form, choose Premium, and your page is typically reviewed and live the same day — your AI sales assistant starts capturing leads immediately.

About the AI Page 5 questions

What exactly is an AI-powered business page? +
It's your own dedicated page with a built-in AI that knows your business, speaks in your voice, and works 24 hours a day. It answers homeowner questions about your services, gives ballpark estimates, qualifies leads, and sends warm prospects directly to your phone — without you needing to be available. Think of it as your smartest, always-on sales employee.
What does "answers in my name" mean? +
The AI page is branded and configured for your business. When a homeowner chats with it, they're talking to your business — not a generic chatbot. The AI knows your services, your service area, and your business name, and responds accordingly. It represents you, not us.
How does the AI send leads to my phone? +
When a homeowner interacts with your AI page and expresses interest, the AI captures their contact information and job details, then forwards them to you — by email, SMS, or your preferred contact method. You receive a warm, pre-qualified lead ready to book.
Does the AI replace me or my staff? +
Not at all — it handles the first stage of lead capture so you don't have to be available 24/7. The AI answers initial questions and qualifies interest, then passes the warm lead to you for the actual conversation, quote, and job. You still close every deal personally.
Is it worth it compared to other lead platforms? +
Unlike per-lead platforms that charge $20–$150 per lead and take commissions, your AI page costs one flat annual fee — and every lead it generates is 100% yours, forever. A single job from your AI page typically pays for the entire year. View our AI page details to learn more.
