How leads work

From customer search to your inbox, in five steps.

  1. 01
    A customer finds your listing

    Through search, through a city or category page on this site, or through a ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity answer that cites you.

  2. 02
    They use your contact form

    On Pro and above, your business page has a contact form. The form is bot-protected at the network layer before it ever reaches your inbox.

  3. 03
    We run a six-point qualification check

    Email validates against MX records. Phone validates as a real number. Time-on-form, IP reputation, deduplication, and a honeypot all have to pass.

  4. 04
    If it passes, the lead goes to you

    Routed to the email address you set in your dashboard. Sent within seconds. Tagged in your lead inbox so you can track response time.

  5. 05
    Free pool first, then per-lead

    Pro covers five qualified leads a month. Premium covers fifteen. Advanced covers twenty-five. Above your pool, you pay at your industry's per-lead rate. Failed leads are never charged, period.

Per-lead pricing

Four buckets. Honest by industry.

When you exceed your tier’s free monthly pool, each additional qualified lead is billed at one of these four rates, based on the business’s industry classification. The rate is fixed per business at claim time and shown in your billing dashboard before any charge.

Low
$10/qualified lead

Beauty (salons, barbers), food trucks, retail, gig services, fitness studios, photographers, pet groomers

Mid
$25/qualified lead

Home services (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, cleaning, landscaping), education and tutoring, pet services (vet, boarding), auto repair

High
$50/qualified lead

General dental, general legal, real estate agents, financial advisors, chiropractors, accountants

Premium-value
$125/qualified lead

Personal injury, criminal defense, medical malpractice, family law, IP and patent, estate planning, M&A advisory

The customer contract

What counts as a qualified lead.

A submitted lead is billable only if all six of these checks pass. Anything that fails is still surfaced in your inbox tagged “unverified” so you can review it, but it’s never counted toward your free pool and never charged. This list is the contract; we don’t change the definition without versioning and a thirty-day grandfather window.

  1. 01Email address validates against the domain's MX record.
  2. 02Phone number is a real, dialable U.S. number (non-VOIP when we can detect it).
  3. 03Form submission took longer than five seconds (anti-bot heuristic).
  4. 04Submitting IP is not on a known bot, proxy, or VPN deny list.
  5. 05No duplicate submission from the same email or phone in the last thirty days.
  6. 06The honeypot field is empty (humans don't fill it; bots usually do).

Frequently asked

The questions we get every week.

What if I run out of free leads mid-month?
Nothing breaks. Leads keep coming through. Once you exceed your free pool, each additional qualified lead is billed at your industry's rate. The exact amount is shown in your dashboard before you commit.
What's special about the first month on Pro?
Your first month of leads is free. You receive every qualified lead that comes through your contact form for thirty days at no per-lead charge. The $29 monthly subscription bills as normal from day one.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No annual contracts, no early-termination fees. Cancel from your billing settings. Your listing reverts to the Free tier and stays live; you just lose the paid-tier features.
How do bots and spam get filtered out?
Six checks run on every form submission before we count it as a lead. If any one fails, the submission is tagged 'unverified' in your inbox, never counted toward your free pool, and never billed.
How do you verify I actually own my business?
Three signals can auto-approve a claim: email matches the business website domain, your email address contains the business name, or your email matches the contact email we already have on file. If none match, you upload a document (EIN letter, business license, or articles of incorporation). We review with vision AI; if anything's uncertain, a human reviews it within twenty-four hours.
When will my listing show up in ChatGPT or Claude or Perplexity?
We can't promise a date. Those engines crawl on their own schedule. Most newly published pages get cited within two to six weeks of going live, assuming the engine has a reason to surface your listing for the queries it sees. The structural work that makes that possible is done on every page on day one.
What's actually different about the Advanced tier's AI chat?
We embed a chat widget on your business page. It answers customer questions, schedules appointments through your calendar, and captures contact info when a visitor wants a quote. You don't write the prompt. You fill out a structured intake (services, hours, FAQ items, things to never discuss) and we generate the prompt from that. Tone-checked, scope-limited, safe.
Why is your per-lead pricing so much cheaper than Angi or Avvo?
Different cost structure. Legacy platforms route the same lead to multiple competitors and charge each one. We send each qualified lead to one business, the one whose listing the customer chose. We don't have to recover the cost of selling the same lead five times.

Three steps. Two minutes. First month leads free on Pro.

Find your business, verify ownership, pick your plan. You can start on Free and upgrade later, or jump straight to Pro and activate the contact form on day one.
