How Earshot Finds Customers Already Looking for Your Services

Instead of paying $50–150/week for shared Thumbtack leads, Earshot monitors Reddit, Nextdoor, local Facebook groups, and community forums for homeowners who are actively asking for your type of service. When it finds a match in your area, you get notified immediately with a personalized outreach draft — so you can respond before any competitor even knows the lead exists. Flat $29/mo, no per-lead fees.

Traditional contractor lead gen (Thumbtack, Angi, HomeAdvisor) charges per lead and shares the same lead with 3–5 competitors, forcing you to underbid each other. Earshot takes a different approach: AI scans public communities for real homeowner intent signals — people actually asking for help — and delivers them to you exclusively. No bidding, no shared leads, no variable spend.

Earshot costs $29/mo — less than a single Thumbtack lead on most days. You set up your service type and location once, and Earshot runs 24/7 scanning community platforms for homeowners already seeking your services. When a match is found, you get a ready-to-send message draft. No ads, no cold calls, no marketing expertise required.

Studies show the first contractor to respond wins 78% of service jobs. When a homeowner posts on Nextdoor asking for a plumber, they get multiple replies within an hour and typically hire the first person who responded with a clear, professional message. Earshot notifies you in real-time and drafts that first response for you — giving you the first-mover advantage every time.
