Common questions
What happens if my payment fails?
We pause lead delivery and show a billing notice on your dashboard until your billing issue is resolved. Nothing is lost — your service area and settings stay exactly as they were.
When am I charged for a lead?
The lead fee is added automatically to your next invoice only after the homeowner request is successfully delivered to your lead email.
Are leads exclusive?
Each homeowner request is routed to one active company in the matching category and service area.
Does it cost anything to sign up?
No. Signup is free, there is no monthly fee or long-term contract, and you’re only charged for leads successfully sent to you.
