“Shop for home-related services together with your neighbors.”
The short version: Loq-ly brings groups of neighbors together with small businesses, so workers travel less and customers save money. The longer version: Everyday millions of small business owners travel to many houses, with hours of unpaid car or bus time in between. This means you pay more for home services like housecleaning because you need to cover the cost of that travel. However, if you band together with your neighbors, service providers will travel less and earn more because they will have more work in a limited geographic area. This means they can charge you less and provide better quality work because they are reaping the benefits of a robust and large group of customers all in one area.

In our words: The listing, in private beta, argued that home-service workers lose hours of unpaid travel between jobs, and that neighbors booking together would let them cluster work in one area and pass the savings on. It targeted house cleaning and landscaping.
