Frequently Asked Questions
Is HomeAdvisor worth it for a landscape contractor in 2026?
HomeAdvisor (now Angi) can be a short-term lead source while you build longer-cycle marketing, but the unit economics rarely work for hardscape and outdoor living contractors. The same lead is sold to 3 to 5 competitors at the same time, so you are racing to be the first to call back. Most contractors who run HomeAdvisor for 6+ months end up dissatisfied with both the lead quality and the dependence.
What does LHCM build instead of using lead-broker platforms?
LHCM builds exclusive lead-generation systems on Google Search, Google Maps, Google Local Services Ads, Meta Ads, and SEO. Every lead is exclusive to your business. We tune for the buying patterns of homeowners considering hardscape, outdoor living, and landscape work specifically.
Can I run HomeAdvisor and LHCM at the same time?
Yes, and many clients do during the first 90 days while LHCM’s longer-cycle organic SEO and Google Business Profile work compounds. Most of those clients have stopped HomeAdvisor by month six because the LHCM-driven leads cost less per closed job and convert at higher rates.
Does HomeAdvisor work for hardscape and outdoor living projects specifically?
It works less well for higher-ticket projects (outdoor kitchens, pool decks, full backyard renovations) where homeowners want a relationship before the budget conversation. Shared leads with high ticket size = higher per-lead cost and lower close rates. The math is rougher than for lower-ticket service jobs.
What is the cost difference between HomeAdvisor and LHCM in practice?
A typical landscape contractor spending $2,000 per month on HomeAdvisor gets shared leads at $40 to $80 each. The same $2,000 per month on a Google Ads or Local Services Ads campaign managed by LHCM typically produces 20 to 40 exclusive leads in the same market. Cost per booked job is usually 30 to 60 percent lower with the LHCM model.
