How it works

Step 1
A homeowner asks for help

Someone in your area posts that they need your trade — in the local channels they already use and trust.

Step 2
We match it to you

First Call sorts the request by trade and location. You only hear about work you'd actually take, in the area you serve.

Step 3
You get the alert first

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.

1
Closed job
12+
Months paid for

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.
