Exclusive pay-per-lead · Home services and local trades
Looking for a Service Direct alternative?
Service Direct runs campaigns on its own account and sells the resulting leads exclusively to one contractor rather than sharing them, with pricing set per lead by category and market.
The difference that matters
Compare the approach and fit.
Closest model to ours on exclusivity, and a fair comparison. The difference is ownership: their campaigns and landing pages stay theirs. We build the conversion page and tracking into your business, so the compounding asset is on your balance sheet, not ours.
