The Problem

Stop Paying the
Thumbtack Tax.

Home service pros fight for leads on Thumbtack, HomeAdvisor, and Angi — auction platforms where you bid against every other plumber, roofer, and HVAC tech in your zip code. Alignable Sponsorships put you in front of verified local business owners — inside the communities where they actually network.

Without Community Visibility
Auction Pricing Eats Your Margins
Thumbtack and HomeAdvisor charge per lead, and the price goes up as more pros compete. You pay whether you close or not.
Shared Leads = Race to the Phone
Lead platforms sell the same homeowner to 3-5 pros. The one who calls first wins — not the one who does the best work.
Zero Brand Building
Platforms own the relationship. Customers remember Angi, not you. So you start from scratch every time.
Lead Platforms vs. Ownership
Lead Platforms
Thumbtack / HomeAdvisor / Angi
Cost per lead CPC ↑
Same lead Shared 3-5x
Your brand Invisible
You bid against every pro in your zip code. The platform wins either way.

4 hot leads in first 6 weeks. Jake had been spending $1,200/mo on Thumbtack with inconsistent results. Community visibility replaced his entire paid lead budget.

Key takeaway
Sponsorships build trust through repeated visibility. When a pipe bursts or the AC dies, the pro they've been seeing in their community feed is the one they call.
Alignable Sponsorships | Home Services ROI
Slide 5 of 6
The ROI

The Math Is Simple.
One job pays for itself.

At $450/mo for 3 months, your total intro spend is $1,350. One average job covers it — and every job after is pure profit.

($450/mo × 3)
3-month pilot cost $1,350
Revenue from 1 avg job $2,500
Revenue from 3 jobs (realistic 90-day target) $7,500
Sponsorships win because you're buying exclusive mindshare — not click volume.
