"LeadFeed enables us to directly connect these visitors to highly-rated service providers while monetizing more of the massive amount of traffic that comes to our website," explained Durchslag. "It also allows non-members an easy way to sample a small piece of the value we offer."

Approximately 25 categories are covered, including plumbing, painting, HVAC, remodeling and electrical. Service providers will pay from $7 to $100 per lead, depending on the category and project, as well as a platform fee of $499 per year or $49.99 per month. A background check is required.
