Angi Pro Leads Software

I have been with Home Advisor for eight months now, and have experienced a lot of the same issues everybody complains about. It does cost a lot to learn how to get around that, once you do 80% of their leads are good and the other 20% of our generic for people not even serious. The companies do not operate anything the same, so I would disregard anything you may think you hear about one entity being able to do things with the other entity. They are nothing alike and they don’t operate the same at all! The app can be very slow at times, costing you jobs. If you’re not the first to respond are usually don’t get the jobs and therefore when the app is glitchy they bill you anyway so it cost you money. You just have to pay for bad leads if you want to work with Home Advisor overall it probably will pay off. Home Advisor is a application for me in my business and I have been doing OK with their leads. Undoubtedly they have terminology issues with their categories . Going into their system you need to be very patient and expect to spend money, if you don’t you will be dissatisfied. If you do, and you were patient for half a year, you will probably have worked out the glitches the way you work with their system and things should be affordable.

The app works great! I have no qualms with the app. HomeAdvisor as a company is awful. I would say that 4 in 10 leads aren’t actual jobs. Some of those will be other contractors “testing the system.” Some will be disgruntled contractors putting in fake requests. Some of the leads are just shoppers that don’t even want you to come out for a free estimate. “Can’t you just give me a quote over the phone?” Sometimes, these leads are new contractors trying to figure out what to charge. If you’re a sole proprietorship and you don’t have someone available to reach out to the lead immediately, you’ll have a difficult time competing with those who do. Also, you’ll get a lead that costs $30+ but it’s a really small project that you could only charge $30 for, then you would actually lose money on if you do it. They don’t do any sort of vetting. They do have a way to request a credit when you encounter the “bad” lead but, if you ask for all the ones you deserve you’ll spend more time on the phone complaining to them, again not working and losing even more money. I’ve heard of people having great success with HomeAdvisor but, that’s not the case for the owner/operator. The membership fees and the cost of the leads aren’t worth it, in my opinion.

First thing first. Please keep in mind that HomeAdvisor owns 75% of the market share. Don’t go into this being greedy, you will loose your pants and your shirt!... this is only for Business owners who are trying to reach new customers without depending on just words of mouth. Have a budget and stick to it. Not all leads are ready to HIRE! but you are paying for 100% of the leads you are receiving from HomeAdvisor. Customers are coming to HomeAdvisor for 2 reasons. 1.) is the rating. They want to see how many stars are you holding. 2.) is the reviews. They want to hear what other customers (strangers) are saying about you and the service you provide. To be successful at this you need to have patience, experience in sales and customer service. Good luck. Be careful. Have fun and STAY ON TOP OF YOUR ACCOUNT DAILY. Always look at your billing statement. HomeAdvisor give you a monthly budget but they charge you weekly for the numbers of your monthly budget... lol... STAY ON TOP OF YOUR ACCOUNT DAILY. Don’t be afraid to pause.... you welcome!
