Common Questions

Everything you need to know before making the switch

How accurate is this calculator? +

The calculator uses conservative industry averages based on real contractor data. Lead rental platforms average $2,500/month, owned systems generate 2.8x more leads with 15% better close rates, and create $360,000+ in transferable equity over 5 years. Your actual results will vary based on your market and implementation.

What if I can’t afford the upfront investment? +

If you can’t afford $15,000 upfront, you’re likely not ready to scale yet. Focus on increasing profitability first. The contractors who succeed with owned systems already have $300K-$1M+ annual revenue and existing marketing budgets they’re reallocating. We also offer payment plans for qualified contractors.

How long before I see results? +

Website and CRM setup: 14 days. Local SEO starts showing results in 30-90 days. Full system maturity: 6-12 months. This is an investment in a business asset, not a quick fix. Most clients see their first exclusive leads within 30 days.

Can I still use HomeAdvisor while building this? +

Yes. Most contractors transition gradually. Start with the owned system, scale it up over 3-6 months, then reduce or eliminate lead rental platforms as your owned system produces results. The goal is a smooth transition, not a sudden cutoff.

What happens if I want to sell my business? +

Your owned lead generation system becomes a transferable asset that increases your business valuation. Buyers pay 2-4x more for businesses with owned marketing systems vs. dependency on lead platforms. We’ve seen businesses sell for $200K-$500K more because of their owned systems.
