The homeowner gets a dozen calls in an hour and picks on price, so the shared lead is already losing.
Mold remediation play · Leads without Angi
Mold remediation leads you own, not leads you share with four other companies.
Marketplace leads sell the same worried homeowner to several companies and charge you whether you win or not. Spur mails the homes you choose, so every assessment request is exclusive to you, and you only pay for postcards you send.

The problem
Pay-per-lead sites charge you for competition.
Every lead costs money, and many are tire-kickers, wrong zips, or people who just wanted a DIY tip.
Reviews, contact history, and future business sit with the marketplace, not with your company.

AI draft for Teresa W. · 63 Sumner Ave
Hi Teresa,
If you've ever searched for a mold company, you know the drill: five calls, five different prices, and no way to tell who is honest.
We'd rather do it differently. Scan the code and one of our licensed team will measure the moisture in your basement and give you a written plan, free.
If the readings are normal, that's the end of it.

What shared mold leads really cost
A marketplace lead is a homeowner request sent to several companies at once. The first to call, or the lowest bidder, usually wins. A mold company can pay forty to a hundred dollars for each such lead and close one in five. That means a real cost per job of two hundred to five hundred dollars before a technician is on site, plus the 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 told the story of why their home may have moisture and what you will do. Owners who scan are not comparing price across 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 book an assessment, and three become remediation jobs at three thousand dollars, you spent about three hundred 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 card the next season or a note about a humidity check keeps you top of mind. A marketplace never gives you that, because the customer belongs to the platform.
You do not have to quit the marketplaces on day one. Run Spur alongside them for a quarter, track cost per job for each, and shift budget toward the channel that wins. Most companies find mail wins on margin and the marketplaces win on speed, and use both until the mailed pipeline is large enough to carry the calendar.
