The LEADS.com Pay-Per-Leads program

How does LEADS.com generate my leads?
LEADS.com has a network of websites that collect requests from consumers who are looking for high quality local businesses. They include Google®, Yahoo!®, AOL Search®, MSN® and Verizon® SuperPages.com® and other reputable search engines. Regardless of where potential customers find your business listing, you do not pay for any online advertising – you pay only for the local leads that you receive.

How will potential customers contact me?
Leads will contact you by both phone and email and will come in on the same phone line and email address that you are currently using. Your LEADS.com Pay-Per-Lead program comes with a toll-free phone number and unique email address that will allow you to track all the leads that are coming specifically from your program.

How do you target my leads to my specialties?
In addition to geographically targeting where your leads are coming from, each type of business has it’s own targeting capabilities. We interview each client to understand the services you offer and the service area that you call on. Schedule your interview to find out how we can target your incoming leads.

How can I keep track of my leads?
LEADS.com specializes in getting measurable results for each customer. At any time you can view exactly how many leads are coming into your business and research specific customer information. Each month, we automatically deliver a copy of your Online ScoreCard that outlines how many leads you received from your program. All reports can be accessed online by logging into your account, or by contacting us at 1.866.LEADS.12 or customerservice@LEADS.com.

How many leads can I expect to receive?
The LEADS.com Pay-Per-Lead programs come in packages of 10 or 20 per month. Because we only get paid when you get leads, we work extra hard to meet your quota each and every month. Contact an Online Marketing specialist at 1.888.LEADS.12 to find out what package is right for your business.

Can I buy more leads?
Yes! Leads can be purchased in packages of 10 or 20.

Is it possible that I wouldn’t get my quota of leads in a month?
Due to the seasonality of some industry types, it’s possible that you may not receive your entire quota of leads in a month’s time. If we owe you leads at the end of a month, those leads will rollover to the next month – so you always get the leads that you pay for. If, for example, you have the 10 lead package and we send you only 9 leads in a month, the leftover lead will rollover and you should expect to receive 11 leads the next month.

How old are the leads?
The leads are typically 24-48 hours old and are never more than I week old. Most of the time a lead is sent to your email box within an hour of when it is created.

Are the leads exclusive?
On average each lead is distributed to (2) different businesses. To protect the consumer from being contacted by too many merchants the leads are never distributed to more than (4) merchants.

What if I get a bad lead or a lead not in my area?
We define a bad lead as a lead that is outside your service area, has an incorrect phone number or contact name, or if the customer does not recognize the request. A bad lead is not someone who is still researching or has selected another vendor. If we determine that you have received a bad lead, we will credit your account with a bonus lead to make up for the error.

Do I pay even if I don’t close the sale?
Yes – We work hard to send you qualified local leads, but we cannot guarantee that every lead will turn into a customer. But because we generate leads from reputable sources and target leads to your specialties, we maximize your ROI on your program.

Is this Pay-Per-Lead program for everyone?
The LEADS.com Pay-Per-Lead program is perfect for the majority of business types in most metropolitan areas, but it may not be the right solution for every industry in every geographical location. Contact us today at 1.888.LEADS.12 to discuss the perfect plan for your business – LEADS.com also offers other online advertising solutions that get results.
