Lead examples
The kind of jobs general contractors miss every week
The largest jobs start as the least specific posts — somebody describing what they want and asking who they should be talking to.
Want to open up the kitchen wall
"Thinking about taking down the wall between the kitchen and living room. Who do we even call first?"

Finishing the basement
"About 700 square feet with a bathroom. Looking for someone who handles the whole thing including permits."

Why it is different
You are not buying old leads from a marketplace
Homeowners often ask for help once, then hire whoever makes them feel confident first. LeadHunter helps you spot local requests faster, without sitting on your phone all day.
On a marketplace like Angi, Thumbtack, or HomeAdvisor you pay for each lead and share it with the other pros who bought it. Here you pay one flat monthly price, the leads are yours alone, and there is no per-lead charge.
For scale: one general contracting lead on Google Local Services Ads cost $49.76 last quarter. LeadHunter is $75 a month, flat, however many you get. See what a lead costs in every trade.

The biggest jobs start as the vaguest questions
A remodel does not begin with a request for a contractor. It begins with somebody wondering out loud whether the wall between the kitchen and the living room can come down, and asking who they should even be talking to. There is no scope, no budget, and no trade named — which is precisely why it never reaches a lead marketplace in that form.
By the time it does reach one, the project has a shape, the homeowner has done their reading, and you are the third contractor to walk through the same kitchen. A general contracting lead costs $49.76 on Google Local Services Ads at that stage. The version six weeks earlier, when it was still a question in a group, cost nothing and had no competition.
Being early in this trade is worth more than in any other, and not because of urgency — nothing here is urgent. It is because the contractor who helps someone think through what they actually want is rarely the one who then loses the bid to a stranger with a spreadsheet.
General contracting cost-per-lead figure: Google Local Services Ads, Q2 2026 — 4,459 leads across $258,867 of real US contractor spend. Published by 99 Calls. The full table for all 21 trades is on its own page.
