Contractor leads show up before you get to the job site

LeadScanner reads public Facebook groups for contractors, so you can spot a neighbor asking for a trade and reply in the group first.

A renovation crew's work table in a half-finished apartment: cordless drill, tape measure, paint swatches, and a face-up phone with a softly glowing blurred screen, morning light at a bare window, no people.

Where to find contractor leads without buying the same contact

Someone asks neighbors for a roofer, plumber, or remodeling crew. That is not a lead list. It is a public post you can answer before the thread fills with recommendations.

“I do not want to buy the same lead as everyone else”

We do not sell leads one by one or pass them to other contractors. You pay to scan a source. When Plano Neighbors has a new post asking for a plumber, it appears in your results, not in a shared contact list.

“I want to see the question before competitors get recommended”

Set your own phrases: “roof repair,” “need an electrician,” “handyman,” “solar installer,” or a neighborhood name. LeadScanner sends an email alert when it finds a matching public post.

“I do not need another list of phone numbers”

We do not collect phone numbers, email addresses, member lists, or lists of people who reacted. You see the public post and reply in the group, just as you would manually, without checking five groups every morning.

How to find contractor leads in local Facebook groups

Start with groups you already know. You do not need a Facebook account or a browser extension.

  1. Check a group before you start

    Paste the group link on the home page. The free check tells you whether the group is public and readable without a login. We never read closed or private groups.

  2. Add local groups and customer language

    Add Austin Moms, Plano Neighbors, Buy Nothing, or Home Improvement Dallas. Then add the words customers use: “need a plumber,” “roofing recommendation,” “remodel a bathroom,” or “electrician near me.”

  3. Reply under a fresh post

    You get an email alert and open the public post. Reply briefly with your trade, service area, and availability. The conversation stays where the customer started it.

A plan for local contractor leads: Starter

each plan's points are shown in the pricing, 5 sources, keyword mode, email alerts, 1 user, and 30-day history. One scan of one source uses 1 point. It fits five local groups scanned several times a day, with enough room to catch new public requests for a contractor.

Starter does not read comments and does not send SMS. If you need inquiries from comments or alerts on your phone by SMS, Starter is the wrong plan; both features are in Growth.

Questions that come with it

Does LeadScanner provide free contractor leads?

LeadScanner does not hand out ready-made contacts or sell the same contractor lead to several businesses. It reads public posts in groups you choose and alerts you when a post matches your phrases. You reply in the thread like any other contractor. First, use the free group check on the home page to see whether a group is public and readable.

Will I get the phone number of someone looking for a plumber or roofer?

No. LeadScanner does not collect phone numbers, email addresses, member lists, or lists of people who reacted to a post. It does not export group members. You see the public request and reply in the thread. Any further contact happens only if the person asking chooses to continue it.

Does it work in Austin Moms, Plano Neighbors, or Buy Nothing groups?

It works only if the group is public and Facebook shows its posts to a signed-out visitor. That can include a neighborhood group, a local parenting group, or a home improvement group. Paste its link into the free check on the home page. We never read private or closed groups.

Do I need to provide a Facebook account or install an extension?

No. LeadScanner works without a Facebook account from you or from us. There is no browser extension, no sign-in, and no bypass of a login wall. We read only what Facebook shows publicly to a signed-out visitor, plus comments where the plan includes them.

Is Starter enough for roofing leads or a small remodeling crew?

Starter has 5 sources and keyword mode, so it fits a handful of local groups and phrases such as “roofing,” “remodeling crew,” or “need a handyman.” One source scan uses 1 point and each plan's points are shown in the pricing. It does not include comments or SMS; those require Growth.
