We make
the phone ring

We enforce a strict single-contractor territory lock per trade and ZIP code cluster, meaning your campaigns and tracking numbers route solely to your dispatch line. Unlike shared marketplaces that sell the same homeowner inquiry to up to five bidders, zero competing contractors ever receive your call or caller data.

When you reserve a service territory (defined by exact county or 5-digit ZIP codes) and trade vertical, our routing table binds those municipal microsites and search campaigns exclusively to your company phone number. The homeowner speaks only with your staff.

An inbound call is billable only when a first-time property owner inside your approved service territory speaks with your team for 60 connected seconds or more regarding an approved trade service. Any call under 60 seconds, out of area, or from a solicitor is billed at $0.00 or credited 100%.

Our telecom gateway automatically suppresses billing on unanswered calls, calls under 60 seconds, and repeat callers within a 30-day window. If a telemarketer, job applicant, or homeowner requesting a service you do not perform stays on the line past 60 seconds, you simply click "Request Credit" next to the audio recording in your ledger for a full credit.

There are $0 monthly retainers, $0 setup fees, and $0 software charges; you pay strictly per qualified call, ranging from $45 to $135 depending on your trade vertical and local market competition. Painting and electrical leads average $45–$90, plumbing and HVAC average $55–$115, and roofing or remodeling average $75–$135.

Before activating your territory, we show you the exact fixed Cost Per Lead (CPL) for each trade category in your ZIP codes. You set a weekly call cap that matches your crew capacity, so your spend never exceeds the budget you authorize.

Every call routed through Contractor Marketing Manifest is recorded in dual-channel audio and posted immediately to your online ROI Ledger. If an unqualified caller passes the 60-second timer, you click "Dispute Call" beside the recording, select the disqualification reason, and receive a 100% credit within one business day.

Because every conversation is timestamped and transcribed, our verification team only needs to verify the audio snippet—never forcing you to argue with an account manager. Over 94% of contractor credit requests are approved in under 6 hours.

Once we verify your trade license, target ZIP codes, and forwarding phone number, your exclusive local search capture goes live within 24 to 48 hours. Most contractors receive their first verified homeowner call within two business days of activation.

Because we maintain pre-engineered municipal search architectures across major US metro and suburban markets, we do not need 90 days to build a website from scratch. We configure our existing high-intent local search assets to route directly to your dispatch line.

You are never locked into a long-term contract; all accounts operate month-to-month with instant self-serve pause controls. When your crews are booked out two weeks ahead or you take vacation, you can pause call routing in one click and resume whenever you need to fill the board.

Seasonal weather shifts and crew availability change week by week. Inside your Contractor Marketing Manifest portal, you can throttle daily call caps up or down, toggle specific ZIP codes, or pause campaigns completely with zero penalty fees.
