Homeyou Review
Woburn, Massachusetts home-services lead marketplace where pros pay per delivered call or lead, with no contract or monthly fee
Quick verdict
Homeyou. Best for: Contractors who want a low-commitment, budget-capped pay-per-lead source and are willing to confirm pricing, lead sharing and credit rules with Homeyou before they start. Pricing: Not published: Homeyou's pro page says you pay only for calls and leads as they are delivered, set your lead price based on the volume you want, and can cap your monthly budget. It advertises no contracts and no monthly fees, and says you can pause or close your account at any time. Lead model: Not published: Homeyou's pro page does not say how many pros receive each lead, so ask before you sign up. Per-lead prices, the number of pros per lead and the credit policy are not published, so you cannot compare costs before signing up.
About Homeyou
Homeyou is a consumer home-improvement site that connects homeowners with local contractors and service providers, and sells the resulting calls and leads to pros. The operating company, Homeyou, Inc., lists its business start as June 2014 on its BBB profile, with an address in Woburn, Massachusetts shared with Triares, the company-building group founded by Fabio Espindula, who is also listed as Homeyou's president. On the consumer side, Homeyou publishes cost guides and a directory across a wide range of home services.
For pros, Homeyou says you pick the exact services and areas you want, pay only for calls and leads as they are delivered, and set your lead price based on how many leads you want. It advertises no contracts and no monthly fees, lets you set a monthly budget cap, and says you can pause or close your account at any time. Homeyou does not publish per-lead prices, how many pros receive each lead, or its lead credit policy on pages we could read.
The trade-off: Homeyou asks for little commitment, with no contract, no monthly fee and a budget you control, but prices, lead sharing and credit rules are not public. Before you fund an account, ask how many pros get each lead, what a lead costs in your trade and area, and what qualifies for a credit, then track cost per booked job.
How it works
Homeowners find Homeyou through its cost guides and directory and submit home-improvement requests or call. Pros sign up, choose the services and areas they want, and set a lead price and monthly budget. Homeyou sends calls and leads that match those settings and charges for each one as it is delivered. Homeyou advertises no contract and no monthly fee, and says you can pause campaigns or close your account at any time. Ask Homeyou how many pros receive each lead and how credits for invalid leads work, since those terms are not published on its public pages.
Pros & cons
What works
-
No contract or monthly fee
Homeyou's pro page advertises no contracts and no monthly fees, and says you can pause or close your account at any time.
-
You control price and budget
Homeyou says you set your lead price based on the volume you want and can cap your monthly spend.
-
Pay only for delivered calls and leads
Charges apply only when a call or lead is delivered, so there is no upfront subscription to test the channel.
What doesn't
-
Prices are not published
Homeyou does not list per-lead prices on its public pages, so you only learn the cost in your trade and area during sign-up.
-
Lead sharing is not disclosed
Homeyou's public pages do not say whether a lead goes to one pro or several; ask before you fund an account.
-
Credit policy is not public
We could not find a published policy on credits for invalid leads, so get the rules in writing before you start.
-
Requires active tracking
As with any pay-per-lead source, track cost per booked job and adjust your lead price and budget, rather than leaving it to run.
