I just got this link from a few of my Contractor Website Customers, and it is relevant to previous posts.
Seems HomeAdvisor (aka old Service Magic) started a new campaign to differentiate themselves from Angie's List.
Before glancing at the Link, keep just a few things in mind ...
1) Remember they both want you to sign up, but their Terms & Conditions are massive - and regardless of which way you go - please remember to go back to my originating thread that explains why you should learn about these Terms & Conditions and how they may impact your own long term marketing efforts. My Terms and Conditions thread here on Contractor Talk can be found here

2) So now go to the comparison page, and regardless of what is said, go ahead then scroll down to the bottom, and notice the Terms & Conditions, then click on it, and try to follow through. Maybe one day all these lead generation companies will have a battle to explain how they mastered to take all your money. I can imagine it now ... One will say We Take Less Money by saying we take 4 Quarters while the other will say We Take Less Money by saying we take 10 Dimes. At the end of the day, the contractor lost a buck .... :laughing:

And as always, I invite a senior representative (not an associate just being told what to say) from these lead generation companies to explain the massiveness of the terms, how they would never hurt a contractor's marketing efforts, and how they could honestly expect the average contractor to understand all those details in the first place.
