Oaklo · Social Trust Search Platform
Local service search ranked by people you trust — not fake five-star listings
The problem
Oaklo set out to make word-of-mouth digital. Generic review sites bury you in inflated ratings. Oaklo needed a search product that ranks dentists, sitters, realtors, and other local pros by Social Trust™ — recommendations from your network — with AI-generated review summaries on every result.
What we did
We matched Oaklo with full-stack and mobile developers who could ship the search experience, Recommendation Graph, and pro profiles together. The team built location-aware search, popular-category tags, in-app messaging, and the Social Trust scoring layer — month-to-month as the product expanded from NYC outward.

The outcome
Users search any business or service by location and get results ranked by people they trust. Pros connect directly with no commission. The homepage, iOS app, and pro marketplace run on the same platform — childcare, pet sitters, realtors, and more — without Oaklo hiring a full internal engineering org.
