How to Deactivate Seasonal Services Temporarily

Temporarily hide seasonal offerings from your AI and estimates without deleting them in Local Business Pro.

Quick Answer: Go to AI Logic > Offerings, find the seasonal service, click View, change Status to 'Deactivated', and Save. The offering is hidden from AI and estimates but preserved for reactivation later.

When to Deactivate vs Delete

Deactivate when the service is temporarily unavailable (seasonal, staff shortage, supply issues). Delete when you'll never offer the service again.

Step-by-Step Guide

Navigate to AI Logic > Offerings
Find the seasonal offering (e.g., 'Leaf Removal', 'Pool Opening')
Click View to open the offering details
Find the Status field
Change from 'Active' to 'Deactivated'
Click Save to apply changes

What Happens When Deactivated

Your AI won't mention or book this service
The offering won't appear when creating estimates
All settings and pricing are preserved
You can reactivate anytime with one click
Historical records (past jobs/invoices) remain intact

Seasonal Service Examples

Winter only: Snow removal, winterization, holiday lighting
Summer only: Pool services, lawn fertilization, AC tune-ups
Spring/Fall: Gutter cleaning, leaf removal, seasonal inspections

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I schedule when services automatically activate/deactivate?
A: Currently this is manual. Set a calendar reminder to update seasonal offerings.

Q: What if a customer asks about a deactivated service?
A: Your AI won't know about it. Consider adding a note in your AI's FAQs explaining seasonal availability.
