PlaceFull Partners with Judy’s Book to Help Merchants with Online Booking

SEATTLE, Wash., (August 12th, 2014) — Two Seattle startup companies, PlaceFull.com and Judy’s Book, have partnered to help small businesses get discovered and booked online. The online booking website PlaceFull.com is rolling out 11 new directories of over fifty thousand merchants to help Judy’s Book consumers get booked online. This will enable consumers to search businesses online and book anytime, anywhere using PlaceFull’s booking engine.  As part of the partnership, PlaceFull will enhance its pages by displaying Judy’s Book reviews (currently over 1.2 million) on business listings to its consumer audience. PlaceFull announced its new directories seeded with data from Judy’s Book will feature a multitude of professional service providers, such as Photographers, Home Inspectors, Artists, Carpet Cleaners, Painters, Window Cleaners, Roofing Services, Gutter Services, Garage Door Services, Pet Services, and Handyman Services. All merchants in the directory will have a dedicated page, which includes three referral listings, images, reviews, business information, the merchant’s Yelp Reviews and the merchants Judy’s Book Reviews. The merchant will then have the ability to convert their referral listing to real-time bookable listings to make it seamless for consumers to book instantly online. PlaceFull also announced that merchants that sign up for PlaceFull get full access to PlaceFull’s online booking capabilities (dashboard, calendar, free mobile app, credit card reader and more), which includes immediate booking on their website and Facebook page.  In addition PlaceFull merchants will have the option to enhance their Judy’s Book profile and drive more referrals to their online booking page.
