Abstract
In general, the following invention consists of a method which uses: keywords or keywords combined with a sounds-like algorithm, geographic coordinates, and proximity, in order to match client service requests with service providers. Keywords which are found within the description of the service request, which is provided by a client, are used to match relevant service providers. Additional relevancy is achieved by using the geographic coordinates of both client and provider, and determining their proximity. Service providers who operate within a certain proximity of a client, are relevant to the client, and vice versa.
