LEAD GENERATION / TWELVE TRADES
We don’t sell leads. We build the machine that makes them.
Exclusive leads in your trade and your market, included in your package — never resold, never shared, never billed per call.
Intake is capped by trade and market. Once a category fills in a city it closes, and we will not reopen it for a competitor at any price.
What “lead generation” means here
Search Local Business generates exclusive inbound leads for home service businesses in Middle Tennessee. Leads come from digital assets built around your business — your site, your Google Business Profile, our local network and AI answer engines — and they are included in your monthly package rather than sold per lead.
That is a different product from what most contractors have been sold before. A lead broker buys a click, sells the resulting homeowner to four companies, and leaves you competing on price against three people who paid for the same name. You pay per lead, every time, forever, and you never own anything.
What we build belongs to you and compounds. The rankings, the profile, the reviews and the pages are still producing calls in year three, and the second year costs less than the first rather than more.
THE PROMISE / SIX COMMITMENTS
What you are actually getting.
- Every lead is yours alone — never sold to a second business, in your trade or any other
- Leads come in as a direct call to your line or a form straight to your inbox and CRM
- Included in your monthly package: no per-lead charge, no bidding, no auction
- Homeowners in your service area only — filtered by the cities you actually cover
- Intake capped by trade and market, so nothing we build is ever split between rivals
- Full attribution on every lead: which page, which search, which campaign produced it
LEAD QUALITY / NO GHOST LEADS
We are not paid per lead. So we have no reason to send you rubbish.
This is the whole argument, and it is worth sitting with for a second. A pay-per-lead broker earns more the more leads it sends, which means a wrong number, a tyre-kicker and a homeowner three counties away are all revenue to them. The incentive is volume, and you pay for it either way. We charge a flat monthly fee, so a bad lead costs us and earns us nothing. Sending you junk would be pure downside.
What every lead has already cleared
They searched for the job. They were not interrupted.
Every lead comes from someone who typed a problem into Google and found you. Nobody was cold-called, retargeted into a form, or offered a gift card. Intent is the first filter and it is the one that matters most.
They are inside your service area.
Leads are filtered to the cities you actually cover. A homeowner ninety minutes away is not a lead, it is a wasted phone call — and we would rather send you nothing that week than pad the count with one.
They want work you actually do.
The page they landed on was about their specific job, so the call is about that job. You are not fielding a tile enquiry because somebody bought the word “bathroom”.
The contact details are real.
Phone numbers and email addresses are validated at submission — a full number with an area code, a deliverable address. The classic broker ghost lead is a disconnected number nobody can call back. That one cannot reach you.
Suspected spam is flagged, and never counted.
Bot submissions are caught, marked and separated in your CRM instead of being passed off as leads. Nothing is silently deleted either, so you can look at what was flagged and disagree with us.
You can audit every single one.
Each lead arrives with its full trail: the page, the search, the campaign, the referrer, the time. You are never asked to take our word for where a call came from — you can check it yourself in the CRM.
And what you will not be sent
The six things contractors mean when they say “ghost leads”. None of them can reach you here, because none of them earns us anything.
NOT THIS
The disconnected number
A form filled in with a fake phone number, billed to you as a lead. You call it four times and give up.
NOT THIS
The four-way race
The same homeowner sold to you and three competitors. Whoever dials fastest wins, and the other three paid for nothing.
NOT THIS
The wrong service
A roofing enquiry sent to a siding company, because the broker bought a broad keyword and sorted it later.
NOT THIS
The wrong county
Technically in your state. Ninety minutes each way, for an estimate you will not win.
NOT THIS
The three-week-old form
Sold on again after the homeowner already hired somebody. They are annoyed you called.
NOT THIS
The billed robocall
An automated call counted as a lead because it lasted longer than thirty seconds.
CATEGORIES / TWELVE TRADES
Every trade searches differently.
A burst pipe and a kitchen remodel are not the same customer, the same urgency or the same sales cycle — so they do not get the same strategy. Pick your trade.

Where the calls actually come from.
Four layers, all pointed at one business. None of them is an auction.
Your own site, ranking for the work you want
City and service pages built for how homeowners in your trade actually search, on a site fast enough to hold a position. This is the layer you own outright.
The map pack
A fully built Google Business Profile with the right primary category, every service listed, real photographs and a review workflow. For urgent trades this is where most of the calls come from.
The Search Local network
Local digital assets we own and operate across Middle Tennessee — city sites, neighbourhood pages, directories and content — all reinforcing the one business we work with in your trade.
AI answer engines
Structured data, answer-first content and an llms.txt file, so when a homeowner asks an assistant for a recommendation in your city, your business is the one it can cite.
SERVICE AREA
Leads from your cities, not the whole state.
Every lead is filtered to the markets you actually serve. A call from three counties away is not a lead, it is a nuisance.

FAQ / ANSWERS
Lead generation — questions
How is this different from buying leads from Angi or Thumbtack?
A lead broker sells the same homeowner to three or four contractors and lets you fight over price, and you pay again for every one. These leads come from digital assets built around your business, they go to you alone, and they are included in your monthly fee rather than billed per lead.
Are the leads exclusive?
Completely. We cap intake by trade and market and stop well before a market saturates, so a lead in your category and city has nowhere else to go. There is no shared pool and no second buyer, and once a category is closed we will not reopen it for a competitor.
Are these qualified leads, or junk?
Qualified, and the reason is structural rather than a promise. Every lead comes from someone who searched for the job, in a city you cover, on a page about work you do, with validated contact details. Suspected spam is flagged and separated rather than counted. And because we are paid a flat monthly fee rather than per lead, sending you rubbish would cost us money and earn us nothing.
What about ghost leads — wrong numbers and dead ends?
A ghost lead is what happens when somebody is paid per lead: a disconnected number, a three-week-old form, a robocall billed because it lasted thirty seconds. None of those can reach you here. Phone numbers and emails are validated at submission, and every lead arrives with its full trail so you can audit where it came from yourself.
What does a lead cost?
Nothing per lead. Lead generation is part of the monthly package rather than a separate line item, so a good month does not produce a bigger invoice. That is deliberate: per-lead pricing rewards the agency for volume, not for quality.
What counts as a lead?
A phone call or form submission from a homeowner in your service area who is looking for work in your trade. Calls ring your line directly and form submissions land in your inbox and in the CRM with full attribution — we are never in the middle of the conversation.
What if my trade is not listed?
The twelve categories here are the ones we have built out most deeply, but the approach applies to any business that serves a defined geographic area. Tell us your trade and market and we will tell you honestly whether there is enough search demand in Middle Tennessee to make it work.
How long before leads start coming in?
Google Business Profile and technical work can move the map pack within four to eight weeks, which is usually where the first calls come from. Competitive organic and city-page rankings take four to six months. Anyone promising a full pipeline in 30 days is selling something else.
AVAILABILITY
Is your trade still open in your market?
Tell us your trade and your city. We check before the call whether the category is already taken, who currently holds the results you want, and what it would take to move them.
