Our Story

Lifto was born out of frustration. Our founders watched as skilled tradespeople — plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs — lost business to competitors with better websites and stronger online presence.

These weren't better service providers. They just had better marketing. And the tools to compete? They were either too expensive or too complicated for busy business owners to manage.

So we built Lifto. An all-in-one platform that gives every service professional the power to get found online, book more jobs, and grow their business — in minutes, not months.
