Be the first to call. Win the job.

What an alert looks like
Real requests, in the homeowner's own words, with a link straight to the post. Here are the kinds of alerts pros get every day:

“Looking for quotes on about 120 ft of cedar fence, gate included.”

“Finally redoing the kitchen this fall. Who did yours?”

“Hail came through last night — need an inspection this week.”
How it works
Someone in your area posts that they need your trade — in the local channels they already use and trust.
First Call sorts the request by trade and location. You only hear about work you'd actually take, in the area you serve.
Within minutes, the request is on your phone with a direct link. Reach out while everyone else is still waiting on a lead site.
One job pays for the whole year
First Call costs less each month than one shared lead on the pay-per-lead sites. Close one job from one alert and you've covered the year. Every alert after that is profit.
For most trades, the first hour on site covers the whole year. There is no per-lead meter and no bill that grows when you do well.
Stop paying for every lead
The lead sites charge you every time a homeowner clicks — then sell that same homeowner to your competitors. First Call is one flat price, and the request goes to you the moment it's posted.
