Performance growth for the trades
Lead Search Pros is a home service marketing agency for local contractors and service businesses. We generate exclusive pay-per-lead inquiries and build the local SEO and AI search visibility that keeps demand coming after the ads stop.
Two engagements, priced separately, so you can start with the one your business needs first.
Every inquiry is sold to one business only. You pay per lead, not per click, and pricing is set per trade and market before anything goes live.
Service and service-area pages, category and NAP consistency, review cadence and the on-page structure local searchers and map results reward.
Answer-first page structure, FAQ and Service schema, llms.txt and citation-friendly copy so assistants can quote your business accurately.
Crawlability, internal linking, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ and Breadcrumb markup, plus sitemap and indexation hygiene.
Commercial-intent guides, cost and comparison pages and city-level content written to earn links and answer real buyer questions.
Lead volume, contact rate and cost per job instead of a keyword position dashboard nobody uses to make decisions.
Compare the two service lines in detail on how it works and SEO & AI optimization.
Most contractors do not need one channel, they need to know what each one is good at. Here is how the common options differ on how you pay, how fast they produce and what you actually control.

| Channel | You pay | Time to first leads | What you control | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exclusive pay-per-lead | Per qualified inquiry | Days | Exclusivity per trade and territory | Best when you need pipeline now and want cost tied to inquiries rather than clicks. |
| Shared lead marketplaces | Per shared lead | Days | Same homeowner sold to several contractors | Cheapest per lead on paper, but close rates fall because you are quoting against everyone else. |
| Google Ads and LSA | Per click or per lead plus management | Weeks | You own the account and the data | Strong for high-intent search, but costs rise with competition and pause the moment budget stops. |
| Local SEO and Google Business Profile | Monthly scope | Months | Owned visibility and map presence | Compounds over time and lowers blended acquisition cost, but it is not a same-week pipeline fix. |
| AI search optimization (AEO and GEO) | Monthly scope | Months | How assistants describe and cite your business | Increasingly where research starts. Requires answer-first structure, schema and consistent citations. |
Actual Lead Search Pros pricing may vary based on market, competition, project type, qualification requirements, lead volume, and territory. No company can guarantee placement or recommendations inside Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or other third-party search and AI platforms.
Pay-per-lead delivery starts first because it produces pipeline fastest. Search work builds underneath it so you are not renting every inquiry forever.
Days 1 to 7
We confirm your trade and service area are open, agree per-lead pricing, and write the qualification criteria: job types you want, job types you refuse, service radius, hours and how fast your team can answer.
Days 8 to 21
Delivery starts at a controlled volume so your intake can keep up. We review contact rate and disqualification reasons weekly and tighten targeting instead of raising volume on a process that is leaking.
Days 22 to 60
If the search engagement is in scope, this is where the technical audit, Google Business Profile work, service and service-area pages, schema and llms.txt land, so owned visibility starts building while paid pipeline runs.
Days 61 to 90
Volume increases in the job types and zip codes that close. Content and answer-engine work expands around the questions your buyers actually ask. Reporting stays anchored to booked work, not keyword screenshots.
Keyword positions and impressions do not pay payroll. These six numbers tell you whether a marketing channel deserves more budget.

If four contractors get the same homeowner, the winner is usually whoever calls first and discounts hardest. Exclusivity removes that race before it starts.
Home service demand does not respect business hours. Leads that arrive at 7pm on a Friday need a real path to a human or a same-evening callback commitment.
Sales cycles for replacement work run weeks. Evaluate on booked jobs over a full cycle, not on the first handful of calls.
If the deliverable is hours and reports, you can pay for a year and never know what changed. Define the outcome before the invoice.
Categories, service areas, photos and review velocity on Google Business Profile move local visibility more than most on-site tweaks.
Assistants summarize whatever they can parse. Without answer-first structure and schema, they quote your competitors instead.
