FAQ
Plumbing pro questions
Do I get emergency plumbing requests?
Homeowners mark how urgent the job is, so you can see emergencies at a glance. You decide which ones you can take.
What if a request is outside what I do?
Just decline it. There's no charge for a request, so you never pay for a job you can't take.
It’s free — so what’s the catch?
There isn’t one. Leads are free with no cap, credits, or card on file. Lead Dog earns 1% only on payments a customer chooses to make through the platform.
How do you decide who shows up first?
Listings follow Job Hound’s matching and directory ranking rules. Contractors cannot buy a higher position.
Am I bidding against four other companies?
No. Homeowners send each contractor a separate request, and you set your own price.
I already use something else to run my jobs.
Keep using it. Requests can still reach you without requiring a migration or changing how you run the rest of the business.
How many jobs will I actually get?
Demand varies by trade and area, so we cannot promise a number of requests or jobs.
What happens to my details?
They build your listing and route requests to you. We do not sell or rent them, and no card is stored.
