What kind of calls you'll get
The campaign targets chimney sweep-intent searches — homeowners actively looking to hire someone, not researching brand pages or browsing options. Calls usually involve one of these services:
- ✓ Chimney cleaning & sweeping
- ✓ Chimney inspection
- ✓ Chimney liner installation & repair
- ✓ Firebox repair
- ✓ Chimney cap & crown repair
- ✓ Damper repair & replacement
- ✓ Waterproofing & masonry repair
You opt into the specific services you want during signup. If you only do chimney cleaning & sweeping and not waterproofing & masonry repair, just check the boxes that match. Out-of-scope calls (a customer asking about something you don't do) aren't billable — dispute and we refund.
Will pay-per-call make chimney sweep pros money?
The honest answer is: it depends on three numbers — your average job value, your gross margin after parts and labor, and your close rate on qualified calls. The break-even per-call price is:
The reason the math works for chimney sweep pros specifically: Recurring or seasonal: first-time customer who could become a multi-year regular if the first job goes well. That intent profile is what makes per-call pricing profitable. Form-fill leads at the same dollar cost convert at a fraction of the rate because the customer is no longer on the phone by the time you call back.
We give you your exact per-call price during signup based on your service area and selected services. You can run the math yourself before you put a dollar in.
Why this beats shared chimney sweep leads from Angi
Angi (and HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack) sell each chimney sweep lead to four to seven contractors at once. You get a notification, you race the others to call the homeowner, and you usually lose because the homeowner answered the first contractor and stopped picking up. Pay-per-call is the inverse: the call rings only your phone. The customer is calling you because they saw your tracking number on a landing page that mentions chimney sweep. There is no race. There is no shared queue. Read the full math comparison at pay-per-call vs Angi.

Who shouldn't use pay-per-call chimney sweep leads
We'd rather lose a sale than waste your money. Pay-per-call is wrong for some chimney sweep pros. Specifically:
- You can't reliably answer the phone during business hours. A call you don't answer is a wasted opportunity. Set up an answering service first or you'll burn deposit money.
- You're already at full capacity. If you're turning down jobs, you don't need more leads. Hire first.
- Your average chimney sweep job is small (<$150) and your close rate is below 25%. The math gets thin at low ticket sizes — you'd need very low per-call pricing to make it work.
- You're in a hyper-niche corner of the trade with very low search demand. Pay-per-call requires somebody is searching. If only a handful of people in your area search for what you do, no marketing model fixes that.
Chimney Sweep contractor questions
Chimney work is extremely seasonal — can I pause in spring and summer? +
Yes. Pause the moment your fall schedule fills up or the off-season hits. No monthly fees burn while you're idle. Your deposit holds until September when you flip it back on.
Can I get chimney repair and relining calls separately from cleaning calls? +
Yes. Cleaning calls are high-volume, lower-ticket; repair and relining calls are fewer in number but higher-ticket jobs. Both are separate opt-ins — take one, take both, or rotate by season.
Do homeowners calling for chimney work usually need an inspection first? +
Often yes — many callers know they're "supposed to get it cleaned" before winter and want an inspection at the same time. That's a good thing for you: one call can turn into a cleaning, inspection, and repair recommendation. We deliver the call; you close the upsell.
