Lead highlights explained
Short answers to the questions contractors ask us most about their leads.
What is “Applied by Homeowner”?
A homeowner has applied for a permit for their own property, and the permit has not been issued yet. It is the earliest sign of a new project. We show it in areas where permit applications are available; everywhere else, we use issued permits.
What is “Owner-Pulled”?
The property owner pulled the permit themselves instead of a contractor. Often this is a homeowner who may still need help with all or part of the job.
What are “Gap Trades”?
A permit for one trade on a job that usually needs others, for example a kitchen remodel permit with no electrical or plumbing permit yet. It is your chance to offer the missing trade.
What is the Lead Score and the Top 10?
We score every lead from 0 to 100 by project size, freshness, trade fit and highlights, so you can call the best ones first. Your daily email starts with your Top 10: your 10 best-scoring leads.
How do I contact these homeowners?
By mail, door hangers or email where available. We never cold-text or robocall homeowners. Want it done for you? We can mail postcards for you. See how postcards work →
How fast do I get new leads?
New leads arrive every weekday morning, by about 6 AM ET: a fresh email with your Top 10 and a CSV of every new lead for your trades and areas.
