Photos
Photos your crew attaches to a job in Housecall Pro or Jobber come in with the job. We put the strongest ones on the page, choose a main photo, and group before-and-after shots into pairs. Everything we chose can be changed.
The three sections on a page
Section titled “The three sections on a page”Open a page and scroll to its photos. They sit in three sections:
- On this page: the photos the page shows, in order. The first one is labelled Main photo and shows first. Drag to reorder.
- Photos with issues: photos we spotted something in. Each one is hidden from the page until you clear its warning or remove it.
- In your library: every other photo from this job, off the page. Tap one to add it back, or drag it onto the page.
At least one photo has to stay on the page.
Changing the pick
Section titled “Changing the pick”Open any photo to get its details window. From there you can:
- Make this the main photo. A photo with a warning has to be cleared first.
- Add to page or Remove from page.
- Write a description of what the photo shows, or press Write it for me. The description shows on your public page and helps with image search.
- Group as before/after. Pick the other photo, set which is Before and which is After, then Group these two. Both photos need to be the same shape, both upright or both wide. A pair moves together on the page; Unlink this before-and-after splits it back into two photos.
Photos that came from your scheduling tool cannot be deleted in SimplifyLocal. Take them off the page instead. Photos you uploaded yourself can be removed from your account for good.
Photo warnings
Section titled “Photo warnings”A photo lands in Photos with issues when it looks like:
- a recognizable face may be visible,
- a license plate may be visible,
- a full street address may be visible,
- it looks blurry.
Open it and choose Clear warning (or Add it anyway) once you have checked it. Make sure you have permission to put a person on a public page before clearing a face warning. You can put the warning back later.
Adding your own photos
Section titled “Adding your own photos”On the page, or under Gallery → New photos, drag photos in or click to choose. JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC, up to 20 photos at a time, each up to 20 MB. Each photo needs a kind of work, and you can attach it to a job. Photos already in your gallery are skipped.
The Gallery
Section titled “The Gallery”Gallery holds every photo from your jobs in one place. Search by description or job name, and filter by service, surface, stage (Before, After, In progress, Equipment, Team), property type, city, and date. Open a photo to confirm or edit the tags under What the AI saw, add your own tags, or Re-check with AI (a few tries per photo each day).
