TMG, The Marketing Group USA

Pay Per Lead Marketing for Contractors You Pay for Leads. Real Ones. Yours Alone.

We build and run the marketing; you pay for qualified leads it delivers, and unlike the aggregators, every lead is exclusively yours. No shared phone numbers, no bidding wars against four competitors for the same homeowner. Zero-risk entry to the engine.

What it is, in plain English

Pay per lead means exactly what it sounds like: you pay for each qualified, exclusive lead we deliver, a real homeowner in your area who wants your service, never sold to anyone else. We fund and run the campaigns; you buy the results. The critical difference from lead-selling platforms you've tried: our leads go to you and only you. We never sell the same homeowner to your competitors.

Where it fits in your engine

Pay per lead is the engine's front door for contractors who've been burned before, all the output, none of the upfront risk. Behind the scenes it runs on the same machinery as everything else: real campaigns, real landing pages, real tracking. For many clients it's the proving ground: the leads book into jobs, the trust builds, and then it makes sense to own the engine producing them, your rankings, your reviews, your website, instead of buying its output forever. We're upfront that owned channels are the better long-term economics; pay per lead is how you verify we can deliver before you invest in them.

Our method

The way we build Pay Per Lead that produces

No black box. This is the process, step by step.

1

Define a qualified lead together

Your services, your territory, your job minimums, we agree in writing on what counts as a lead worth paying for before anything launches. No surprises on the invoice.

2

We fund and launch the campaigns

TMG builds the ads, landing pages, and tracking at our cost and risk. If the campaigns don't produce, that's our problem, not your marketing budget.

3

Leads route straight to your phone

Calls and form leads go directly to you in real time, no marketplace, no lead-selling queue, no competitor seeing the same homeowner's number.

4

Every lead reviewed, junk credited

Wrong numbers, out-of-area, spam, you don't pay for junk. Every delivered lead is logged and reviewable, and disputes get resolved like partners, not like the platforms you've fought with.

5

Scale up, or graduate to owning the engine

Working well? Raise the volume. Working really well? Many clients transition to a full engine build, converting the proven demand into owned rankings, reviews, and channels with better long-term economics.

Best fit

Best-fit trades for this part of the engine

Every trade can use it, these are the trades where it hits hardest.

Contractors burned by shared-lead platforms

If you've raced three competitors to call the same homeowner, you know the aggregator game. Exclusive delivery is the entire difference, one lead, one contractor, a fair shot at the job.

Businesses that need volume now

New trucks to fill, new market to enter, slow season to survive, pay per lead delivers demand without waiting on an engine build or fronting campaign budget.

Owners who want proof before commitment

Skeptical of marketing promises? Reasonable. Paying only for delivered leads is the lowest-risk way to verify we produce, before investing in the channels you'll eventually want to own.

The delivery

Leads land on your phone, and only your phone

Every lead routes straight to you in real time with the job type and area up front, and a guarantee the platforms will never match: sent only to you, never resold. Illustration of the delivery flow.

We publish real client numbers or none at all

See The Real Numbers

Exclusive is the entire product

Every contractor has a shared-lead horror story: paying for a homeowner who’d already hired someone, racing four competitors to a phone that stopped answering, watching the platform raise prices on leads that closed less every year. The problem was never pay-per-lead as a model, it’s that the platforms sell each lead four times because that’s where their profit is.

We flipped the incentive. One lead, one contractor, priced fairly, junk credited. It works because we’re not a marketplace, we’re a marketing engine that happens to offer its output by the lead. And when you’re ready to own the engine instead of buying its output, that path is sitting right there.

FAQ

Pay Per Lead Marketing questions, answered

How is this different from HomeAdvisor, Angi, or Thumbtack?

One word: exclusivity. Those platforms sell the same homeowner to several contractors at once, then charge each of you, the race and the bidding war are the business model. Our leads go to you alone. You're not competing on speed-dial against four companies; you're the one contractor the campaign was built for.

What counts as a qualified lead?

Whatever we agree it is before launch, typically a homeowner in your defined territory requesting your defined services, reachable at a real number. The definition goes in writing. Wrong numbers, spam, and out-of-area requests are credited, not argued about.

What does a lead cost?

It varies by trade and market, a roofing replacement lead and a fence repair lead are very different animals. On the strategy call we'll quote real per-lead pricing for your trade and territory, next to what shared platforms charge for non-exclusive versions of the same homeowner.

Why would you offer this instead of just charging a monthly fee?

Because it aligns us completely: we only make money when the marketing works, which is a pitch skeptical contractors can verify instead of trust. And honestly, clients who start here usually see the results and graduate to owning their engine, which is the better long-term deal for them and a longer partnership for us.

Is pay per lead better than building my own marketing?

Short-term, it's faster and risk-free. Long-term, owned channels win: your rankings, your reviews, and your website keep producing after the spend stops, and their cost per job drops over time while purchased leads stay flat. Our honest recommendation is usually both, pay per lead for immediate volume, engine-building for the future.
