TalkLocal

TalkLocal is a local search engine and marketplace based in College Park, Maryland and competing in the on-demand services industry. Through their mobile app or website, consumers submit service requests (e.g. HVAC maintenance, roofing, taxicab, etc.) to nearby businesses. When a business accepts, they pay to be connected to the consumer by phone (via Voice over IP) to schedule the desired service.
