Homeowners in Green Country now have a streamlined way to connect with local service professionals thanks to AProToMe, a new platform that launched in early August 2025. Designed for ease of use, AProToMe is set to revolutionize the way residents find trusted help for various home projects, while simultaneously supporting local businesses.
Founded by Brad Hill, a retired Tulsa police officer, and Bruce Kuka, a retired military service member, AProToMe aims to simplify the often cumbersome process of finding reliable service providers. "Neighbors shouldn't have to 'Google and guess' or sift through dozens of random recommendations on social platforms to find a quality pro," said Hill. The platform serves as a directory, featuring only verified, locally owned businesses, ensuring that residents can hire with confidence and keep their spending within the community.

Streamlined Search Process
AProToMe offers a straightforward three-step experience for homeowners. Users can search for the service they need, get matched with verified local professionals, and book appointments directly through the platform. This streamlined approach not only saves time but also helps residents make informed decisions based on transparent profiles and authentic reviews.
For residents, the service is completely free. This focus on user experience is particularly important in today's market, where many platforms charge homeowners for leads and referrals. AProToMe aims to eliminate that burden, allowing residents to access a broad range of services from plumbing to landscaping without incurring hidden costs.
Empowering Local Businesses
For local professionals, AProToMe replaces the traditional pay-per-lead model with a flat-rate monthly fee. This structure not only removes the unpredictability often associated with lead generation but also fosters healthier business growth. "Small businesses are the backbone of Tulsa," stated Kuka, emphasizing the platform's commitment to supporting local entrepreneurs. "Our approach levels the playing field for local pros - no bidding wars, no expensive lead fees, just a clear path to real customers who are ready to book."
The platform's commitment to local businesses is evident in its operational model. Only locally owned firms are featured, ensuring that the economic benefits remain within the Tulsa metro area. This focus on keeping spending local is particularly crucial as many small businesses face challenges from larger, often out-of-state corporations.

One of the standout features of AProToMe is its rigorous verification process for listed professionals. Each service provider undergoes a screening process to ensure they possess the necessary licensing and insurance, as well as a solid reputation within the community. This vetting is designed to protect homeowners and enhance trust in the platform.
Additionally, AProToMe features a variety of services, including roofing, painting, plumbing, and electrical work. This comprehensive approach means that homeowners can find a wide array of services under one roof, making it a one-stop shop for home improvement needs.
