Lead generation services

4 min read

Lead generation services is one of the most-searched queries in your industry - and most of the advice you'll find is a sales pitch for a paid lead vendor. Below is the honest take, including the lead-source matrix calibrated for your trade.

The honest breakdown

  • Paid leads (Thumbtack, Angi, Bark) - predictable but expensive.
  • Organic SEO + GMB - free but slow (3-6 month payoff).
  • Referrals - highest LTV, lowest cost, slowest to scale.
  • Direct response (Facebook, Google Ads) - works for visual trades.
  • Inbound conversion - most pros lose 30-50% of leads they already have. Fix that first.

The hidden math

Most pros chasing more lead generation services actually need to convert the leads they already get. A 5-second response time outperforms a 5x larger ad budget.
