The math on shared leads is brutal.

If you've worked with HomeAdvisor, Angi, Thumbtack, or Yelp, you know what this looks like:

  • $30 to $85 per lead, depending on the trade and time of year
  • The same lead is sold to 3 to 8 other contractors at the same time
  • You spend the next hour fighting on price against contractors who'd take the job for less
  • Even when you win, your margin is gone
  • When you stop paying, the leads disappear that day

The real cost per booked job, after you factor in the dead leads and the price competition, can easily exceed $1,400. That's not marketing. That's a tax.

REAL CLIENTS. REAL GOOGLE DATA.

This is what owning your marketing looks like.

Josh runs Integrity Pro out of San Diego. Before working with Echo Local, he told us he had never had a single customer find him through his website. Eight weeks in, he is ranking page 1 in San Diego and the calls have started coming. None of them are shared with another contractor. None of them cost $50 per lead. They are his.

"I had a website for years and never got a single call from Google. Eight weeks with Echo Local and we are ranking page 1 in San Diego. The calls finally make sense."

I built Echo Local because home service businesses were getting ripped off by lead platforms and SEO agencies. The platforms charge per shared lead. The agencies charge $2,000 to $5,000 a month for vague reports. Both go away the second you stop paying.

I think about an SEO system the same way I think about a 401k. The work I do today should still be paying you back five years from now. That is the difference between renting visibility and owning it.

I only work with home service businesses, and I do the work myself. No account managers, no handoffs, no offshore contractor doing your content. If you have a question, you text me.

Common questions from contractors

How is this different from buying leads on HomeAdvisor or Angi?

Lead platforms sell the same lead to 3 to 8 contractors. You fight on price, win less than half the time, and the leads stop the moment you stop paying. Echo Local builds your own search visibility. The calls that come in are yours, not shared with competitors. Once you rank, you rank, and the rankings do not go away when you stop paying.

How long until I see results?

Some movement in 30 days, real GBP impressions growth in 60, page 1 rankings starting around 60 to 90 days. The case study above is 8 to 10 weeks in. Anyone who promises faster than that is either lying or about to do something Google penalizes.

I am already paying $500+ per month to HomeAdvisor. Why would I add another marketing cost?

You probably should not. Most contractors I work with use Echo Local to replace the lead platform, not add to it. The math typically lines up where one or two booked jobs per month from your own ranking equals the per-lead fees you used to pay. Then everything else is upside.

What if I am already ranking on Google for my main service?

Then you might not need me. The audit will tell you honestly. Sometimes a business is ranking for one or two terms but missing 80% of the searches their customers actually type. Sometimes they are ranking fine and just need a tune-up, not a full SEO program.

What does the first month actually look like?

Week 1: I audit your site, your GBP, and your top 5 competitors. Send you a written report of what is broken. Week 2: technical fixes, schema markup, GBP optimization. Week 3: content infrastructure (service pages, location pages). Week 4: first round of new content pushed. By month 2 you start seeing impressions climb.

One more chance to book the walkthrough.

If you read this far, you are probably thinking about it. The walkthrough is free and there is no obligation. Worst case you get a clear picture of where you stand. Best case it starts a conversation that actually grows your business.
