The problem with Lead Marketplaces

Lead marketplaces (Thumbtack, Angi, HomeAdvisor) charge contractors $15-150 per lead shared with multiple competitors. The average contractor spends $500-2,000+/month.

You're renting leads, not building equity

Every dollar spent on lead marketplaces disappears the moment you stop paying. No search rankings, no brand recognition, no repeat customers from organic search. It's a treadmill.

Shared leads create a race to the bottom

When 5-10 contractors get the same lead, the homeowner picks the fastest responder or cheapest bid. Your margins shrink on every job, and you can never build premium pricing.

Lead costs keep rising

Thumbtack and Angi regularly increase lead prices. You have no control over your customer acquisition cost. It's a platform risk that threatens your business.

No brand building, no referrals

Customers found you through a marketplace — they remember the marketplace, not you. No word-of-mouth, no repeat business, no referral network.

Lead Marketplaces vs ServicePro FAQ

What does it mean to 'own your leads'?
Owning your leads means generating them through your own website and search rankings, rather than paying a marketplace like Thumbtack or Angi. When a customer finds YOU on Google and calls YOUR number, that's an owned lead. You built the asset (your website) that generated it.
How much do contractors typically spend on lead marketplaces?
The average home service contractor spends $500-2,000+ per month on lead marketplaces like Thumbtack, Angi, and HomeAdvisor. Individual lead costs range from $15-150 depending on the service type. These costs typically increase over time.
How does a Jobsite replace lead marketplaces?
A Jobsite is an SEO-optimized website that ranks on Google for your services in your area. When homeowners search for services you offer, they find your Jobsite and contact you directly. No marketplace middleman, no per-lead fees, no shared leads.
How long until my Jobsite replaces my marketplace leads?
Most contractors see initial leads from their Jobsite within 2-4 weeks, with significant volume in 60-90 days. We recommend running both during the transition. Most contractors fully transition away from lead marketplaces within 3-6 months.
What if I need leads right now?
Keep your lead marketplace running while your Jobsite builds momentum. Your Jobsite goes live in minutes and starts appearing in search results immediately. Gradually shift your budget from marketplace to owned leads as your organic traffic grows.
