I don't know. I can say it sounds like they will make you their beeyotch.
Large National companies have a way of doing that to hungry contractors.

Why run? We use SM and I really like it. We are Grandfathered in so there is no charge per lead..we pay when we accept only. If you can swing that, then I think, why not. We have landed a lot of jobs from them...and not cheap jobs, really good jobs.

Re: ServiceMagic??


If you can get that deal it might be ok. I and other contractors I have spoken to have been very disappointed with the lead quality, and being charged $30+ per lead which they farm out to 3-4 contractors didn't work well. Many of the leads are not qualified, and while they say they will credit you for a bad lead, it's easier said than done. I don't know why they are partnered with pdca, as I think they are generally a disservice to contractors.
Run.
