About Contractor Lead Quotes
An independent record of what US contractor lead sources publish about their own prices, quoted from their own pages and dated.
Why this site exists
A contractor deciding where to buy work next month is trying to answer one question: what does a lead cost. Almost nobody in this market will answer it in public. Seventeen lead sources were checked for this record and five print a figure; the rest either publish nothing or would not let the page be read at all. That is a defensible way to sell something whose price genuinely moves with trade, ZIP code and exclusivity, and it is also why a roofer cannot get three comparable numbers without losing a week to sales calls. This site does the part that can be done in public: it reads each source's own pages, records the figures they are willing to print, and records just as carefully where a source prints nothing. It also keeps fresh leads and aged records in separate columns, because those two are sold at prices a hundredfold apart and are constantly quoted at each other.
Who it is for
The owner of a US contracting business with somewhere between one and thirty vans, who has tried word of mouth and a truck wrap and now wants to know what buying work actually costs.
Contractors weighing an exclusive lead against a shared one against an aged list, who have worked out that the three are priced on completely different bases and cannot be lined up without converting them first.
Anyone who has been told the price is available after a discovery call and would like to know what the alternatives publish before taking it.
What it does not do
- We publish no estimate. A lead source that does not publish a price is recorded as publishing none, with the date we checked, and never with a guess.
- We do not treat an unreadable page as a finding. Where a source's page refused our fetch, that is recorded as unread, because not knowing what a source charges is a different fact from a source charging nothing.
- We never average a fresh lead with an aged one. A homeowner who asked this morning and the same form re-sold nine months later are different purchases, and a blended figure would describe neither.
- We do not quote one company's price under another company's name. Where a source publishes a figure about a competitor, it is printed with the publisher named as the one saying it.
- We sell no placement. No lead source has bought a position, an ordering, a badge or a mention in the price record, and no figure changes because a source would prefer a different one.
- We do not hide what we are. The people who publish this site also operate a marketplace that sells contractor leads. We are in this market, not above it, and every page says so rather than posing as a disinterested observer.
What is on this site
20 guides, each with its sources on the page , 83 answers to the questions around them , and the comparison.
- Construction leads: Construction covers everything from a bathroom refit to a commercial re-roof, and lead prices track the job behind the lead rather than the word on the invoice.
- Lead generation services: Lead generation services sell contractors four quite different things under one phrase: a fresh exclusive lead, the same lead shared with two or three competitors, a slot in a bidding marketplace where you set your own price, and an aged list.
- Pay per lead: Pay per lead means you are charged when a contact arrives rather than when a job is won, which puts the whole risk of a bad lead on the contractor and none of it on the seller.
- Exclusive leads: An exclusive lead is sold to one contractor; a shared lead is sold to two or three.
- Leads for contractors: A contractor looking for leads has four kinds of source to choose between and almost no published prices to choose on.
- Roofing lead companies: Roofing is the best-documented trade in this record and the most expensive one to buy work in.
- HVAC lead companies: HVAC is the trade where the published price depends most on what the homeowner actually wants, and exactly one source in this record publishes that distinction.
- Plumbing lead generation: Plumbing is one of the highest cost-per-click trades in this whole keyword set and one of the least documented.
- Solar leads: Solar is the trade where the cheap end of the market is best documented and the expensive end is silent.
- Water damage leads: Water damage is the trade where speed is worth the most and published prices are scarcest.
- Contractor lead services: Contractor lead generation services are sold as one thing and charged for in four different ways, which is why quotes from three of them cannot be lined up without converting them first.
- Home services leads: Home services lead generation covers every trade that visits a house, and the price of a lead in it varies by a factor of a thousand depending on which of four products you are buying.
- Kitchen remodelling leads: Kitchen remodelling carries some of the highest revenue per job of any trade on this site, and its lead prices reflect it.
- Moving leads: Moving is a high-volume, low-margin trade where lead costs decide the year, and not one of the seventeen sources checked for this record publishes a moving lead price.
- Landscaping leads: Landscaping is a seasonal trade with a wide spread of job values, from a one-off tidy to a five-figure hardscape, and no source in this record publishes a price for its leads.
- Pest control leads: Pest control is the trade on this site where the first job is least representative of what a customer is worth.
- Electrician leads: Electrical is a trade with an unusually wide spread of job values, from a broken socket to a service panel upgrade, and no source in this record publishes a price for its leads.
- Plumber leads: For a plumber the value of a lead depends on the clock more than on anything a seller can put on a rate card.
- Gutter leads: Gutters are the smallest-ticket exterior trade in this keyword set and the one where lead economics are tightest.
- Mold leads: Mold work arrives in three quite different shapes: somebody who has seen a patch and wants an inspection, somebody whose insurer has told them to get testing, and somebody with a confirmed remediation job.
