Exclusive leads for GTA yard pros. No subscriptions. No shared leads.

Why do exclusive leads beat shared leads?

Typical shared-lead platforms charge a subscription of roughly $350 to $500 a month, then sell the same homeowner to 3 or 4 contractors at once. You pay whether the leads come or not, and every call is a bidding war. YardQuote flips that: you pay only for leads, each one is yours alone, and there is no monthly lock-in. Fewer, exclusive leads usually beat a flood of shared ones on real jobs won.

How does YardQuote compare to shared-lead platforms?

The difference is exclusivity and commitment. YardQuote sells you leads you do not have to share and never asks for a subscription. The table below lines up the model against a typical shared-lead platform so you can weigh it for your own business.

What do YardQuote leads cost?

YardQuote sells exclusive leads in prepaid packs of 10, priced by category and shown as founding rates below. You buy a pack, we send matched leads until it runs out, and you top up when you want more. There is no subscription and no minimum monthly spend.

What is featured placement?

Featured placement is an optional monthly slot that puts your profile in a clearly labelled promoted spot on a category and area page, for example interlocking in North York. It runs $99 to $199 per month per category and area slot, and slots are limited so the spot stays valuable. Featured placement is separate from the rankings and never changes your earned position.

What is the return on a pack of 10 interlocking leads?

At a 12% to 18% close rate, a pack of 10 exclusive interlocking leads typically turns into 1 or 2 signed jobs. GTA interlock projects run about $14,000 to $30,000, so a single job returns $14,000 to $30,000 on a pack that costs $750 to $1,200. That is roughly 12 to 40 times your lead spend from one job, before you count the second.

Can I get listed for free?

Yes. Every eligible GTA business already gets a free basic profile on YardQuote, ranked purely by its verified Google reviews, alongside 1,091 others across 7 categories. Claiming it is free too: email us and we will confirm your details, add your services and photos, and make sure homeowners see an accurate profile. Leads and featured placement are optional add-ons on top.

Does paying change my ranking?

Never. Buying leads or a featured slot has zero effect on where you rank. YardQuote positions come only from a published formula built on verified Google reviews plus verification checks. Keeping money and rankings apart is what makes homeowners trust the list, which is exactly what makes your leads worth buying. You can read the exact method on our methodology page.

Contractor questions, answered

Are YardQuote leads really exclusive?

Yes. Each lead you buy is sent to you and no one else. Typical shared-lead platforms sell the same homeowner request to 3 or 4 contractors, so you race four competitors on price. On YardQuote you are the only pro with that homeowner's details, which is why our close rates and pricing work in your favour.

What if a lead has a wrong number or is fake?

We replace it. If a lead in your prepaid pack has an invalid phone and email, or is clearly spam, email us within 5 business days and we credit a fresh lead to your pack at no cost. We run honeypot and time-trap checks on the quote form to filter junk before it reaches you.

Which areas can I buy leads in?

You can target by category and by GTA area, from downtown Toronto and the boroughs out to cities like Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham and Oakville. YardQuote maps every request to an area, so you only pay for leads in the neighbourhoods you actually serve. Coverage tracks our July 2026 dataset and keeps growing.

How do leads reach me?

As soon as a matched homeowner submits the quote form, we send their name, contact details and project description straight to your email, usually within minutes. There is no separate dashboard to babysit. You reply directly to the homeowner and quote the job like any other inquiry.

Is founding pricing locked in?

Founding pricing is our launch rate for early partners, and we honour it for the first 12 months of your account even as standard rates rise. Lock it in now by claiming your profile. We will always tell you before any pricing change and never bill a subscription without your say-so.

Can I pay to rank higher on YardQuote?

No, and that is the point. Rankings come only from verified Google reviews plus verification checks, using a published formula. Buying leads or a featured slot never moves your rank. Featured placement is clearly labelled as promotion and sits separately from the earned rankings homeowners trust.
