TL;DR — where do I get the best contractor leads?
The best contractor leads are exclusive inbound phone calls — a homeowner who searched for your trade, found your ad, and called you specifically. That's what Get That Phone Ringing delivers, for any of 25 home-service trades, with no contract and a refundable deposit. If you're currently buying shared form leads from Angi, HomeAdvisor, or Thumbtack, the math almost always flips once you compare cost-per-booked-job (not cost-per-lead). Scroll to the trade selector below to pick your vertical and get started.

1. What kind of contractor lead do you actually want?
"Contractor leads" is a broad term. Before you buy anything, it's worth spending two minutes understanding what you're actually buying — because the format of a lead changes its economics dramatically.
Option A
Shared form leads
A homeowner fills out a form on Angi, HomeAdvisor, or Thumbtack. Their contact info gets sold to 4–8 contractors simultaneously. You race to call them first. Most don't answer because they're already on the phone with the first contractor who reached them.
$15–$120/lead · Shared · Low answer rate
Option B
Pay-per-lead (exclusive)
A lead sold to only you — typically still a web form, but not distributed to competitors. Better answer rates than shared leads, but you're still the one calling a cold contact who submitted a form and may have moved on.
$50–$200/lead · Exclusive · Medium answer rate
Option C
Pay-per-call (inbound)
A homeowner searches for your trade, sees your ad, and calls your number — right now, actively shopping. Answer rate is 100% (they called you). No competitors. You're the first and only person they've spoken to about this job.
$35–$150/call · Exclusive · 100% answer rate
Format C — inbound pay-per-call — is what Get That Phone Ringing delivers. It has a higher sticker price than a shared Angi lead, which is why it sometimes looks expensive on the invoice. The math on cost-per-booked-job tells a different story.
2. Why exclusive pay-per-call beats marketplace leads (the math)
Most contractors compare a $50 Angi lead to a $100 pay-per-call quote and stop there. That's the wrong comparison. The right number is cost-per-booked-job — what you actually spend to land one paying customer.
| Angi / Shared Lead | Pay-Per-Call (GTPR) | |
|---|---|---|
| Sticker price per lead/call | $50 (illustrative) | $80 (illustrative) |
| Answer rate | ~35–40% (you're contractor #5 calling) | 100% (they called you) |
| Close rate | ~12–15% (competing vs. 4–7 other quotes) | ~30–40% (no competitors on the call) |
| Real cost per booked job | $50 ÷ (38% × 13%) = $1,015 | $80 ÷ (100% × 35%) = $229 |
Numbers above are illustrative examples using mid-range contractor-reported data. Your actual cost per booked job will vary by trade, market, and close rate. The formula is what matters — run it with your own numbers.
The $80 call is not twice as expensive as the $50 lead. In real cost-per-booked-job terms, the $80 call is roughly 4–5× cheaper. The sticker price difference is swamped by the answer-rate and close-rate difference.
