Your website
Your HaulHQ page (included, already live)
The free single page every tenant gets when onboarding finishes: what it renders, where the content comes from, what makes it go live, and what it cannot do.
This applies to both workflows
What are the two workflows?When you finish onboarding, HaulHQ publishes a public page for you at yourname.myhaulhq.com. There is nothing to build and nothing to pay. It is the same booking and quote machinery the WordPress plugin embeds, arranged as one page.
What is on it
- A header and cover area with your company name, logo, headline and phone number.
- Your quote or booking flow -- the junk quote form, the dumpster booking flow with card payment, discount codes and your rental agreement, or both if you run both verticals.
- Your services and equipment, from the Equipment screen.
- About your business -- description, founded year, jobs completed, team photo, highlights, and a work gallery of photos you upload yourself.
- Your service area, from the cities you set.
- Reviews and testimonials.
- A photo gallery, which your crew fills by taking photos on jobs.
- The chat widget, if you have it switched on.
- Schema.org markup, so search engines can read your business details properly.
Where the content comes from
| On the page | You set it in |
|---|---|
| Headline, tagline, cover photo, colors | Website |
| About text, founded year, team photo, highlights | Website |
| Testimonials | The Reviews page, on its Testimonials tab. Website links you there. |
| Work gallery (photos you upload) | Website, the Work Gallery card |
| Logo, company name, phone, address | Settings > General |
| Cities you serve | Service area |
| Services and equipment | The Equipment screen |
| Gallery photos from jobs | Photos & your gallery |
Image sizes
Cover photo: 1600 x 1200 px or larger, landscape. Logo: 512 x 512 px square, or 800 x 320 for a wide wordmark -- PNG or SVG with a transparent background looks best. These are the same numbers the hint text under each field gives you.
What makes it go live
Your address works from the moment your account exists, but until you are ready it shows a "Our website is launching soon" placeholder with your name and phone, and it is de-indexed from search. The full page goes live when both of these are true:
- 1Your service area has at least one city. Zips alone are not enough -- this is the single most common reason a site stays dark.
- 2You have something to sell: at least one active service or piece of equipment set to show on your website, or at least one junk load size with a price range on it.
The onboarding page Get your website live walks the same two things in order.
Separately, a new account may be asked to book a free 30-minute setup call before its page can be published -- that is a platform setting rather than something you configure, and the onboarding wizard says so when it applies.
Why there is a gate at all
Without it, every new signup would get a public, indexable page before configuring anything -- which is exactly the payoff someone signing up to spam search results wants. The gate is about configuration, not judgement: finish setup and you are live.
How search engines find it
Once your page is live, HaulHQ tells the engines about it. There is nothing to submit and nothing to configure.
- Your site serves its own sitemap and a robots file that points to it, so Google can crawl it on its own schedule.
- Bing, Yandex and the engines behind DuckDuckGo and the AI assistants are notified directly (through IndexNow) when your site goes live and whenever you change what it says. Google does not take those notifications.
- Selected customer sites are linked from a public page on haulhq.app, which gives crawlers a path in.
Found is not ranked
This gets your page into the engines. Where it ranks is up to them, your reviews, and whatever else is competing for the same search -- nothing here promises a position.
Share your site
On Settings > General, once your page is live, a Share your site block gives you the address with one-tap options: Copy link, Text past customers, More apps for your phone's share sheet, and Facebook, X and LinkedIn. The same block appears when you finish onboarding.
Add it to a phone home screen
Once your page is live, a phone can add it to the home screen like an app: your company name under the icon, and your logo on it (a wide logo is letterboxed on your brand colour, never stretched), or your initial on your brand colour if you have no logo. The prompt is the browser's own -- Share > Add to Home Screen on an iPhone, Install or Add to Home screen in the menu on Android. It needs a logo (Settings > General) or a brand colour (Website); with neither set, the browser offers nothing. Handy for a repeat customer, and for you: it is the quickest way to check your own page.
What it cannot do
- It cannot use your own domain as its address. Tenant pages are served on
yourname.myhaulhq.com. You can forward your domain to it, but the address bar shows the HaulHQ address once it lands. If your own domain matters in the address bar, you want WordPress. - It is one page. No service pages, no city pages, no separate about page -- unless you add the HaulHQ Website add-on, which adds them to this same address.
- There is no blog.
- The layout is fixed. You control the words, the photos, two colors and -- if you do both junk removal and dumpster rental -- which of the two goes first; you do not move sections around.
If you do both: which one goes first
A page that offers both junk removal and dumpster rental puts two cards side by side, and one of them is open when a visitor lands. If most of your work is dumpsters, that should be the dumpster card -- and it is, by default, for any account with dumpster rental switched on.
To change it, go to Website > Your HaulHQ Site and find the Service Labels card -- the question reads What do customers mostly come to you for? Whichever you pick goes first on the page and in the menu at the top. If you only do one of the two, the question does not appear, because there is nothing to order.
It never changes on its own
This is a setting, not a guess. It does not move because last month was busier for one side, and it does not move when you add equipment or change your prices. Your page looks the same tomorrow as it does today unless you change it -- which also means that if your business shifts, nothing updates it for you.
None of that stops it taking jobs. Link it from your Google Business Profile, put it on your truck, and text it to callers -- it is a working booking page, not a placeholder.
Common mistakes
"My page just says the website is launching soon."
That is the placeholder, and it means one of the two live conditions is missing: a service-area city, or something to sell (an on-website service or equipment item, or a priced load size). Fix that and the full page appears.
"I cannot find my page in Google."
Until both live conditions are met the page is deliberately de-indexed. After that it has a sitemap and Google crawls it on its own timetable -- HaulHQ notifies Bing and the other engines directly, but Google does not accept those notifications.
"I uploaded my logo as the cover photo and it looks wrong."
They are two different fields. The logo is the small mark in the corner; the cover photo is the big landscape image at the top. Both are under Website, except the logo which is under Settings > General.
"My gallery is empty and I cannot find where to upload."
The main gallery fills from photos your crew takes on jobs -- see Photos & your gallery. If you want to upload photos yourself, that is the Work Gallery card under Website, which shows in the About section.
