About us
Founding team
Our team has been working with small, service-oriented businesses — and building products to support their growth — for years.
From peak-season frenzies, to scheduling conflicts, to operational overhead, to no-show customers, they’ve seen how hard it is to run a successful operation. And as customers, they know how tricky it is to find someone trustworthy to do a great job — whether that’s a lawyer, mechanic, dentist, or math tutor.
Aaron and Justin started this company to solve these problems. Recommended connects only the highest-rated businesses and professionals with customers looking for their help. Top-rated small businesses get rewarded with a multitude of features (like our flagship premium service, Smith.ai), while customers see the businesses their friends recommend (no more wading through 3-star reviews from an anonymous online crowd).
This is the superior experience that keeps us up at night. This is why we’re here.
