A marketplace is the better choice when
- You want leads this week, without an application
- You would rather set your own price per lead
- You are happy to quote against other pros
The short version
Marketplaces are quick to start and you control the lead budget. A campaign we pay for costs nothing until a customer books, and no other business in your trade gets your area.
