HomeAdvisor leads for contractors: per lead, shared, and how to win more of them

Short answer: HomeAdvisor pro accounts now run as Angi Leads Pro. You pay per lead whether or not you win the job, and its pro site says requests go to 3 to 4 members at once, so speed decides who wins. Credits for bad leads must be requested within 30 days. You can turn the service on or off in your profile.

Questions to ask before you pay

1. Is the lead exclusive, or sent to other pros? How many?
2. Do I get the customer's phone number and email?
3. What counts as a billable lead, and how do I get credit for a bad one?
4. Is there a contract, minimum term or budget commitment?
5. Can I limit job types, areas and hours?

How to get more out of it

1. Respond in minutes. The first useful reply usually wins. See calls while you are on a job.
2. Use a short reply and booking script. See the CSR script.
3. Quote a clear service fee. See service call fees.
4. Follow up the same day, and again two days later.
5. Track cost per booked job. See are paid leads worth it.
