The real alternative to Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack is not another lead marketplace. It is a pipeline you own: your website, your reviews, your Google ranking, and instant follow-up on every lead, working for you every month.
The shared-lead trap
Shared-lead sites sell one homeowner's request to multiple contractors at once. You pay for the lead, then race everyone else who paid for it too. Even when you win, the math gets thin.
Stop paying and the leads stop the same day. Years of fees bought you no website authority, no reviews on your own profile, no asset you could sell with the business.
Per-lead costs creep up, credit disputes eat your time, and the platform ranks its own brand above yours on Google for your own trade in your own town.
Side by side
The pipeline starts with a website we build for you free, backed by missed-call text back so no lead goes cold. See the whole system on the get more jobs page.
Owning your own lead pipeline: a fast website, a strong Google Business Profile, steady reviews, and instant follow-up on every call and form. That combination gets you exclusive leads from people searching your trade in your area, instead of shared leads sold to several contractors at once. That is exactly the system we run for a flat $297 a month, with the website built free.
On most pay-per-lead marketplaces, yes. One homeowner request is typically sold to multiple pros, which is why the same lead calls you back annoyed that four contractors already phoned. Exclusive leads from your own website have no such race.
Usually no, and we will tell you that on the call. The smart play is to build your own pipeline alongside it, watch where booked jobs actually come from, and scale the lead site down as your own leads take over. You stay in control the whole way.
The instant pieces, missed-call text back and speed-to-lead texting, start rescuing jobs from week one. Reviews and Google Business Profile rankings compound over weeks and months. We give you a straight timeline for your trade and area on the free call.
$297 a month flat, no setup fee, no contract, and the website build is free. Many contractors spend more than that on shared leads in a single week. One extra booked job a month typically covers it several times over.
