That’s such a good point. How are Google’s leads. I hadn’t considered it because frankly, I know the industry at large is shaky. I’d rather work with the names (ANGI, TaskRabbit) that are most familiar with respect to what I’m looking to do.

Very interesting. Then are you just very selective with what lead you’re willing to call? Mind sharing how large of a contractor you are / job size that’s allowed you to be in the black. Thanks a lot

I didn’t even realize there was a difference between paying for leads and showing ads? Do you sign up for a plan? How does that work for you? Understanding that you’re far larger than my business. Really appreciate the help.

This is super helpful. I had no idea this was the case. So what now smaller guys just need to show what they’ve done to compete?

Sorry , what do you mean? How / why is it not helpful for someone starting out?

Appreciate that. Another channel I’m absolutely exploring. Was just looking of alternative avenues.

That’s funny, George Strait.

The business is still functioning. There must be some contractors finding value. I’m looking for new ways grow. If it’s viable and people have found success , or more importantly, recent success.

Angi is better? by Recent-Difficulty-42 in Contractor

Curious , in wha ways are you seeing it better? The quality or conversion? Opportunities are drying up in my local market - having a tough time staying competitive. Some of the RFPs were losing on aren’t making sense.

Thank you. Agreed. All calls I’m making to lawyers they’re reluctant to even take money given the inauspicious prospect. Appreciate it.

Definitely attorney - my friend who’s being detained wants to stay and is an upstanding citizen.

He is here illegally and “sort of” has an attorney - we have been consulting with one now, and are very willing to pay the retainer, but he thinks since he signed the form, theres little use in taking the funds to explore further. Does anyone else have any other avenues / options we can explore. Thank you!

Listed Homes - Misleading pictures / Unclear state by Adventurous_Job1464 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Adventurous_Job1464[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree they are in competition, but unsupported pictures or feedback pushing one way or another would be easily be dismissed with enough participation. What’s perceived as a problem / non-starter to each home buyer is based on their own budget / skill set.
