🔴 HIGH PRIORITY
Drain cleaning price dropped from $189 → $99 (limited-time offer)
Cornhusker Drain Omaha is now advertising drain cleaning at $99 (down from their standard $189). Ad copy says "this month only" but no end date shown. Their service-area radius also expanded to include Bellevue and Papillion. Aggressive price + territory move likely targets summer demand.

Three 1-star reviews this week mention "no-show" appointments
Missouri River Trenchless Omaha received three 1-star Google reviews in the past 7 days, all citing missed appointment windows. One reviewer waited 4 hours; another says the dispatcher hung up.

🟡 MEDIUM PRIORITY
Launched online booking with same-day available slots visible
