The homeowner gets a dozen calls in an hour and chooses on price, so the shared lead is already losing.
Fencing play · Leads without Angi
Fence leads you own, not leads you share with four other installers.
Marketplace fence leads go to several companies and charge you win or lose. Spur mails the yards you pick, so every quote 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 wrong zips, DIYers, or people who only wanted a price range.
Reviews, contact history, and repeat business belong to the platform.

AI draft for Tim H. · 3109 Brightwood Ave
Hi Tim,
If you've ever requested fence 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 yard, quote materials and gates, and handle your permit and HOA approval.
No bidding war, and no pressure.

What shared fence leads really cost
A marketplace lead is a homeowner request sent to several fence companies at once. The first to call, or the lowest bidder, usually wins. A fence company can pay thirty to eighty dollars for each such lead and close one in five. That is a real cost per job of one hundred and fifty to four hundred dollars before the crew moves, plus margin lost to bidding down.
A mailed lead is different. It is exclusive, because the owner scanned your card and no one else's. And it is better informed, because the card already named the yard problem, the style, and the price range. Owners who scan are not comparing five bids. They are comparing you with doing nothing.
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 quotes, and four sign at five thousand dollars, you spent about two hundred and fifty dollars per job and kept every relationship. Run the same math on your marketplace spend and compare.
Own your list. Every owner who scans becomes a contact in your system. A follow-up in the next season, or a note about a gate or a repair, 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 fence companies find mail wins on margin and marketplaces win on speed, and use both until the mailed pipeline carries the calendar.
