The homeowner gets a dozen calls in an hour and chooses on price, so the shared lead is already losing.
Concrete & paving play · Leads without Angi
Concrete and paving leads you own, not leads you share with four other bidders.
Marketplace driveway leads go to several contractors and charge you win or lose. Spur mails the homes you pick, so every estimate request is exclusive to you, and you pay only for postcards you send.

The problem
Pay-per-lead sites charge you for competition.
Many leads are DIYers, wrong zips, or people who only wanted a price range.
Reviews, contact history, and repeat business belong to the platform.

AI draft for Curtis B. · 8110 Hungary Rd
Hi Curtis,
If you've ever requested driveway quotes online, you know what happens: five calls, five prices, and no way to tell who is honest.
We do it differently. Scan the code and one local crew will measure your drive, tell you whether it needs a repair or a replacement, and give you a written price.
No bidding war, and no pressure.

What shared driveway leads really cost
A marketplace lead is a homeowner request sent to several contractors at once. The first to call, or the lowest bidder, usually wins. A paving company can pay forty to a hundred dollars for each such lead and close one in five. That is a real cost per job of two hundred to five hundred dollars before the crew moves, plus margin lost to bidding down.
A mailed lead is different in two ways. It is exclusive, because the owner scanned your card and no one else's. And it is better informed, because the card already described the driveway's age, the options, and a price range. Owners who scan are comparing you with doing nothing, not with four rivals.
Cost per job is the number that matters. A thousand cards at about a dollar each cost a thousand dollars. If thirty owners scan, ten ask for estimates, and three sign at six thousand dollars, you spent about three hundred dollars per job and kept every relationship.
Own your list. Every owner who scans becomes a contact in your system. A follow-up for sealcoating, a patio, or a walk keeps you top of mind. A marketplace never gives you that, because the customer belongs to the platform.
You don't have to quit marketplaces on day one. Run Spur alongside them for a quarter, track cost per job for each, and shift budget toward what wins. Most contractors find mail wins on margin and marketplaces win on speed, and use both until the mailed pipeline carries the calendar.
