Source: Mindflow research, saved files as collected (before later listing rulings in 23 metros), October 2026: home-service contractors in Philadelphia across 8 trades (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, garage door, pest control, remodeling, water damage).

If you offer financing and have real reviews, put both beside the request; 56 of 81 Philadelphia homepages in the sample didn't mention financing at all.
