Unlike traditional passive directory listings, the platform operates on a paid-lead model where businesses purchase real-time consumer project requests submitted within their designated geographic service zones and trade categories. Pricing per lead varies depending on the specific service type, project scope, and market demand, requiring contractors to budget for marketing expenditures as part of acquiring new clients through the digital network.
