One QR code. Two ways your best customers send you work — they recommend you to a friend, or they pull from the network of pros you trust. Built on relationships you already have.
Example network. Businesses shown are fictional, for demonstration only.
You finish a job. The customer's thrilled. This is the moment they'd tell a friend about you — or ask if you know a good electrician.
The moment passes. They forget your name by the weekend. Your buddy never sends one back either.
That's how most referrals die. Not because the relationships are wrong. Because nothing captures the moment.
When your customer scans your Roots code — or taps your link in a text or email — they land on your page with two ways to send you work.
On your invoice, your card, or a text on the drive home. Ten seconds.
No app, no account. Your name, your work, and two buttons.
A neighbor, a sister, a coworker. It arrives as a personal recommendation from someone that friend already trusts.
Name, contact, what they need. It comes to you alone — nobody else gets that lead.
Need a roofer you'd stand behind? Your customer sees your short list, with your reason for trusting each one next to their name.
They're notified only when a customer chose them and asked. And their customers can find you the same way.
Who sent what, what it turned into, and whether it's running both ways. Reciprocity stops being a guess.
The code on the invoice, scanned at the kitchen counter. That’s the whole habit.
Invite the pros you'd send your own customers to. Write a one-sentence vouch for each.
Hand over the QR card or send the link. Takes ten seconds.
Customers recommend you to friends and find your trusted partners — from the same scan.
Who referred, who responded, who won the work.
Most partnerships start with “sure, I'll send you some.” Put a number on “some.” Three inputs, your figures, a conservative estimate.
If your best work has always come from someone saying your name, this is for you.
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, GCs, restoration.

See how it works for professional servicesOne job a year covers it many times over. For most trades, one job covers a decade of it. That's deliberate: a flat price means Roots only wins if you decide it's worth keeping.
Something else? Ask us — email goes straight to the founder, and you usually hear back the same day.
Roots is new, and I still set most accounts up personally. What the first businesses tell me isn't working is what gets built next.
If word-of-mouth is already your best source of business, we'd like to meet you.
