The following is not a complete list but provides examples of how much leads cost in Local Services based on market and business category:
Thanks for the list Tom. In keeping with their rush to bring half-baked products to market, I see that “pet boarding” in the dallas area has no businesses signed up. What’s worse, all the non-paying businesses listed are pet sitters, NOT boarding facilities. Humorous to say the least.
Not sure who’s making these kind of decisions out there, but I’m quite sure they’d have much more success if they just put a little bit of thought into things. It’s not like they have to beat competitors to the market with this product.
LSA categories have been a cluster so far. Early on we saw plumbers being served for “sprinkler repair,” which most plumbers won’t even touch.
The good news is, as long as local service ads can’t get their crap together, businesses still need our help to make sense of it all.
