The real cost of chasing leads

Most shops do not have a marketing department. You need the next job — without paying five other businesses to call the same homeowner.

Finding new clients is feast or famine

Word of mouth dries up. Yard signs only work if you are already on the street. Google ads get expensive the moment you are busy enough to need them.

Lead mills sell the same phone number

You pay $15–$60 for a “lead,” then three other companies call the same person. You still pay if they already hired someone, wanted a free estimate, or never pick up.

You waste hours quoting jobs you will not win

Every shared lead is a race. Painters, stylists, and inspectors should not have to write a custom quote every time the work is the same package they already sell.

Lead-gen sites vs Services Billboard

Typical lead-gen platforms sell access to a phone number. We sell a seat. You decide which jobs to take.

What you pay for Typical lead-gen platforms Services Billboard
When money leaves your pocket You pay per lead, even if you never win the job You spend lead credits only when you accept a matching job or offer request. Decline is free.
Who else got the same lead Often sold to several businesses at once. First one to call “wins.” The customer picks up to 5 businesses. You still choose whether to take it.
What the customer actually wants A form fill. Maybe they wanted a price. Maybe they were browsing. A posted project with a description — or a request for your packaged offer at the listed price.
Contact details Phone dumped on you immediately, and on everyone else who bought the lead Email, phone, and street stay hidden until the customer hires you
Cut of the job Some take a booking fee or a percentage No commission. Payment is between you and the customer.
Packaged work (same job, same price) Usually not. You quote from scratch every time. Service offers on a paid seat: “I’ll paint a 10x10 room for $350.”
Getting in the door Pay to play from day one Free Citation listing in the directory. Upgrade when you want leads.
3 roofing jobs this month $45–$180 in lead fees — and you pay even if you never win the work $29 Basic Pro. Roofing uses 6 credits, so 20 credits cover 3 jobs you choose to take.

We do not inspect work or settle job disputes. A paid listing is not a quality stamp.

On the public record

The FTC already looked at buying leads

In 2023 the U.S. FTC alleged a major lead seller misrepresented lead quality to contractors and entered a consent order for up to $7.2 million in redress. Read the FTC order

On Services Billboard, the customer picks the businesses they want — we do not sell their phone number as a lead.

$29 vs $15–$60 a lead. Do the math.

Basic Pro is $29 a month for 20 lead credits. A roofing job uses 6 credits, so a roofer can take 3 matching jobs they actually want. Typical lead-gen platforms charge $15–$60 per phone number — and you pay whether you get the job or not.

Typical lead-gen platform

$45–$180

for 3 roofing leads this month

  • 3 leads × $15 = $45 on the low end. Same 3 × $60 = $180.
  • You pay that even if the homeowner already hired someone, wanted a free estimate, or never picks up.
  • The same number is often sold to several shops. You still paid. You still have to race to call.

Services Billboard · Basic Pro

$29/mo

for 3 roofing jobs you choose to take

  • 20 lead credits. Roofing uses 6 each. That is 3 hot jobs, with credits left for a smaller one.
  • About $10 per roofing job you accept — included in the seat. Not $15–$60 per dumped phone number.
  • Decline or ignore is free. No commission if you win. You only spend credits when the job is worth taking.

Same 3 roofing jobs: keep $16–$151 in your pocket this month

And you skip the hassle of buying leads you may never win. Credits are a cap on jobs you can take — not a promise of how many will be posted.

Two ways to get work. Same account.

Respond to projects and service requests with a quote or estimate, list packaged offers, or both. Hairdressers, painters, and home inspectors often skip custom jobs — their menu is the offer. We are not a bidding marketplace.

Projects and service requests

Show interest and send a quote or estimate

A customer posts a project or service request. Paid businesses in that category can be matched. If they select you, accept with lead credits, show interest, and send a quote or estimate in the app.

  • Good for one-off and custom work
  • You see the job write-up before you spend credits
  • Decline or ignore costs nothing
Service offers

Publish the work you already sell

If the job is the same every time, list the package. Customers search those offers and contact you in the app. You accept with the same lead credits as a posted-project lead in that category.

  • “I’ll style your hair for the event, $100.”
  • “I’ll paint a 10x10 room, $350.”
  • “Home inspection for listing, $500.”

Listing the offer is included in Basic Pro (up to 5) and Elite Pro (up to 10). Free Citation cannot publish offers.

Credits are a monthly cap, not a promised number of leads. You spend lead credits only when you accept a matching job or offer request. A handyman job uses 1 credit; plumbing 3; HVAC 4; roofing 6. Unused credits do not mean jobs are owed.

Questions from service businesses

Lead credits, offers, contact, and pay — in plain language.

Sign up as a service provider and create your business listing with name, location, categories, and the details customers need to find you. A free citation listing can appear in the public directory. There is no application interview or elite network vetting to join.

Directory listing starts free (Free Citation). Paid plans such as Basic Pro and Elite Pro unlock greater access to project matches and service offers. Current prices are shown on the plans page. We do not take a commission on jobs you win — payment for the work is between you and the customer.

Lead credits are included with paid plans and are spent when you accept a matching project or an offer request. Declining or ignoring a match does not use credits. Credit weights can vary by category. Credits are a cap on work you choose to take — not a promise of how many jobs will be posted.

Customers pay you directly. Services Billboard does not process job payments, hold funds in escrow, or take a cut of the job. Agree on terms with your customer before you start.

Yes. You can change plans from your account when you want more or less access. See the plans page for current options and limits.

With a paid plan that includes lead access, you can review matching customer-posted projects and service requests, then accept ones that fit using lead credits. You can also publish service offers so customers can find your packaged work.
