GigPark is the easiest way to discover the trusted local businesses your friends use.

  • Find businesses recommended by friends (e.g. a lawyer, handyman, etc.)
  • Ask friends for a recommendation
  • Recommend the great service people and businesses you use

2. How does GigPark work?

Need a real estate agent? Check out recommendations from your friends and the friends of your friends. Can't find one? Ask your friends through GigPark or see who others in the GigPark community are recommending to their friends.

In turn, you can share your own recommendations with friends, hooking them up with the best in town and sending new customers to your favorite businesses.

3. Why should I use GigPark?

Friends, not strangers. What makes GigPark different is that you have a relationship with the people making recommendations - they are your friends or the friends of your friends, not weirdo strangers who may be plugging their own businesses.

It's flexible. GigPark requires as much effort as you want to put in. You can use GigPark as an easy way to see who your friends recommend, or you can actively recommend to friends, comment on their recommendations, and ask them for specific things.
