Note: Research has shown that customers consider reviews when trying to decide who they want to do business with.

You Never Pay For Leads Or Bid Requests

You will receive an email notification when a potential customer initiates a bid request. Important: When you receive a bid request it’s critical that you respond right away even if you can’t take on the project. By simply responding to their requests, they’ll associate having a positive experience with your business and it will increase the likelihood they’ll consider you for future projects.

The short answer is no. You can, however, boost your listings popularity by creating a professional profile. Then encourage your customers to review your work. Those are the two best ways to quickly boost your rankings. To demonstrate long term success, start with completing projects in your target market and update your profile to showcase them.

The demand for contractors is increasing and the Internet is quickly becoming the place where homeowners are turning to find them.

The more you share your profile link, the more visitors you will get, and ultimately the potential for ROI is higher.
