Most contractors think lead gen platforms are selling them leads. They're not. They're selling you the chance to compete against 5-10 other contractors for the same homeowner—and you're paying $80 whether you win the job or not. In this video, I break down: The real cost of a $4,800 Angie's List invoice (spoiler: 72% of your profit goes to lead costs) Why 75% of the "leads" you pay for are unqualified, out of area, or price shopping The hidden time cost: 15-20 hours/week responding to leads that will never close How we transitioned this client from Angie's to organic SEO and went from 3 jobs/month to 3-5 jobs/week. The math on organic vs paid leads ($140 CAC vs $1,600 CAC) If you're spending $2K-$5K/month on Angie's, Bark, HomeAdvisor, or Thumbtack and barely breaking even, this video will show you exactly where your money is going and what to do instead. ------ Follow me: Instagram:   / stephendb01   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
