LeadHunter USA is a local Facebook group monitoring app for garage door pros. It alerts you when homeowners in your area are asking for help with broken springs, opener failures, off-track doors, noisy rollers, panel damage, and replacements.
LeadHunter USA sends each alert as a push notification to your own phone, on iOS or Android. LeadHunter USA costs $75 a month flat, whether you watch three local groups or thirty. LeadHunter USA is read-only: it never posts, comments or messages anyone, on anyone’s behalf.

How it works
Choose where you work and what jobs you want. LeadHunter USA keeps watch and sends the right matches to your phone.
Your local Facebook groups import automatically: town, neighborhood and HOA groups. Turn off any that are not your area.
Focus on springs, openers, off-track doors, rollers, panels, replacements, and the calls you actually take.
When a matching homeowner request appears, your phone gets an alert so you can reach out quickly.
Lead examples
Garage door posts are almost always written from inside the problem — the door is down, the car is behind it, and the day has stopped.
Examples written in the style of real neighborhood posts. Names and details are made up.
"Heard a bang from the garage this morning and the door will not budge. Car is stuck inside."

Why it is different
Homeowners often ask for help once, then hire whoever makes them feel confident first. LeadHunter USA helps you spot local requests faster, without sitting on your phone all day.
LeadHunter USA is not a lead marketplace. You pay one flat monthly price for the software, we do not sell leads at all, and there is no per-lead charge.
Built around real local homeowner language.
Garage door work has the shortest decision window of anything on this list. A torsion spring goes with a bang, the door is down, the car is behind it, and somebody has to be somewhere. There is no shopping, no comparing, no thinking it over — the homeowner asks whoever they can and hires the first one who says they can come.
That makes it one of the few trades where seeing the post twenty minutes earlier genuinely decides who gets paid. It also makes it a trade where reviews and rankings matter less than they do anywhere else, because nobody in that situation is reading reviews.
The seasonality is worth knowing and it is counter-intuitive: the real spike is the first hard cold snap, when steel contracts and springs that were already at the end of their life all fail within a few days of each other. Garage doors also have no published cost-per-lead figure in the datasets that price the bigger trades, and the platforms selling contractor leads by category mostly do not carry them.
There is no published cost-per-lead figure for garage door work. You can see what a lead costs in the 21 trades that are measured — roofing runs $101.15, landscaping $29.05 — for a sense of what the trades either side of yours are paying.
The same neighborhood post often mentions more than one trade.
Questions
No. LeadHunter USA offers a 7-day free trial and does not ask for a credit card to start it. Nothing is charged unless a plan is chosen at the end of the trial.
This page is built for garage door pros, but LeadHunter USA also supports other local service trades. You choose your profession and job filters during setup.
LeadHunter USA watches the local Facebook groups you have already joined: town, neighborhood and HOA groups. It checks each post against your garage door job types before anything is sent. A matching request arrives as a push notification on your own phone, in seconds to minutes.
LeadHunter USA runs on your own computer, not on our servers, and it only reads. It never posts, comments, likes or messages, and it never contacts a homeowner for you. You sign in to Facebook yourself, so we never see your password, and there are no bot accounts of ours sitting in your groups — it sees what you would see if you scrolled the feed yourself, on the machine you already use. Nobody can guarantee what a platform will do, and any vendor who gives you a guarantee is overselling, but read-only on your own login on your own computer is the least exposed way this can work.
Yes. The LeadHunter USA desktop app is the part that does the watching, and it needs to be running. It installs on Windows or Mac, runs quietly in the background while you work, and pushes matches to your phone — there are no tabs to keep open. If the computer sleeps, the watching stops until it wakes. The phone app is where you read the leads, not where they are found.
Then there is not much to watch, and that is the honest limit of how LeadHunter USA works — it sees your groups, not everybody’s. Most people fix it in ten minutes by joining the neighborhood groups for the areas they already work in. Those are where "anyone know a good plumber?" actually gets posted, and being a member of a few of the right local ones beats being in twenty broad ones.
No. LeadHunter USA charges $75 a month flat and includes every matching lead it finds, with no per-lead fee and no cap. The same $75 applies whether you watch three local groups or thirty.
What Groups Watcher, HuddleWatch and One Stop Social say about their own products, in their own words and checked daily, is at leadhunterusa.com/lead-alert-tools-compared. LeadHunter USA covers local Facebook groups, sends each match as a push notification to your phone, runs in its own app rather than your browser, and charges $75 a month flat with no limit on groups.
Different model. LeadHunter USA does not sell leads and is not a lead marketplace. LeadHunter USA charges $75 a month for software that watches the groups you have already joined, with no per-lead charge. The post itself is public to that group, so being early is the advantage rather than ownership.
