How LeadHall Works

Unlike Thumbtack® where you pay for every lead (whether they convert or not), LeadHall monitors local communities like Nextdoor® where neighbors ask for service recommendations.

When someone in your area posts "Looking for a good plumber" or "Need HVAC repair recommendations," you get notified instantly via email, SMS, or Slack. Reply first, win the job.

For just $99/month per city, you get unlimited notifications for all the neighborhoods you serve. No per-lead fees. No hidden costs. Just real people asking for exactly what you offer.
