LeadHunter USA is a Facebook group and Nextdoor monitoring app for tree services. It alerts you when homeowners in your area are asking for help with storm damage, removals, trimming, stump grinding, hazardous limbs, and lot clearing.
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 and your Nextdoor feed comes with them. Turn off any that are not your area.
Focus on storm damage, removals, trimming, stump grinding, lot clearing, and the work you actually take.
When a matching homeowner request appears, your phone gets an alert so you can reach out quickly.
Lead examples
Tree work arrives at two speeds — the emergency the morning after a storm, and the trimming somebody has been putting off for a year.
"Came down in the wind overnight and we cannot get the cars out. Need someone today if possible."

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.
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 for the software, we do not sell leads at all, and there is no per-lead charge.
For scale: one tree services lead on Google Local Services Ads cost $37.56 last quarter. LeadHunter USA is $75 a month, flat, however many you get. See what a lead costs in every trade.
Built around real local homeowner language.
Nothing else on the board produces demand the way weather does. A line of wind goes through at two in the morning and by seven the neighborhood group has a dozen posts in it — limbs across driveways, a tree on a fence, somebody asking whether the one leaning over their roof is about to go. All at once, all wanting someone today, and every one of them settled within a few hours.
That is a different problem from being found. Nobody browses for a tree service at seven in the morning. They ask their neighbors and call the first outfit with a truck free. The company that sees the post is not the one with the best ranking, it is the one that was watching. A tree services lead cost $37.56 on Google Local Services Ads last quarter, and the ones that actually matter never make it that far — they are settled in the comments before lunch.
The other half of tree work is the opposite, and it is worth planning for. Trimming, stump grinding, clearing a back lot: jobs somebody has been meaning to deal with for a year, that surface as a casual question, and that carry a big enough ticket to justify a slow, careful quote. Autumn runs both at once — storm season overlapping with everyone wanting branches off the roof before winter.

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 tree services and arborists, 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 and your own Nextdoor feed. It checks each post against your tree service 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 and Nextdoor 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.
Groups Watcher now sells a done-for-you service that joins groups with its own accounts and replies for you, one company per niche per county. HuddleWatch costs $50 a month for 10 Facebook groups, covers Facebook only, and alerts to Slack or email. One Stop Social costs $29 a month and is a Chrome extension that scans while your everyday browser is open. LeadHunter USA covers Facebook groups and Nextdoor, 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. Those are marketplaces: you pay per lead, and the same lead usually goes to several pros at once. 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.
