The Angi Alternative That Builds You an Asset, Not a Rented Lead
Angi sells leads that several contractors can get at the same time. We hand-code you a custom website you actually own, then keep your phone ringing with local SEO and ads. $97/mo to start, $0 setup, no contract.
Angi (formerly Angie's List, now also home to HomeAdvisor) is a lead marketplace where contractors pay to receive homeowner leads. You pay for access to those leads rather than owning a website or the customer relationship.
Why HVAC owners look for an alternative
- You're paying for leads instead of building something you own. With Angi, the day you stop paying, the leads stop. A website we hand-code for you keeps working and stays yours.
- Angi leads are often shared with several contractors at once, so you can be racing other shops to the same homeowner the moment the lead drops.
- Per-lead costs add up fast, and many contractors report a high effective cost per booked job once you count the shared and dead leads you still paid for.
- Angi owns the marketplace and the homeowner's relationship with the Angi brand. We put your name, your reviews, and your number front and center.
- Instead of renting attention, you get a custom site, local SEO, missed-call text-back, a simple CRM, and managed ads, all done for you, all under your brand.
Where we win
- We have in-house developers who hand-code a fully custom website from the ground up, built around your HVAC business. Angi isn't a website at all. It's a marketplace where you buy leads, so there's no asset to own.
- You get a done-for-you stack under your own brand: custom site, local SEO, Google and Facebook ads, missed-call text-back, a simple CRM, and automated reviews. Angi sells you leads and stops there.
- You own the website and the customer relationship. With Angi, the homeowner came through Angi's brand, and the leads disappear the moment you stop paying.
- Predictable flat monthly pricing from $97/mo, not a fee plus a per-lead charge that climbs with every lead you receive.
- Exclusive to you. Calls from your own site and ads come straight to you, not split among several contractors going after the same homeowner.
- $0 setup and no contract. You're month to month, not locked into a marketplace commitment to keep the leads flowing.
