Frequently asked questions
What is a good cost per lead for junk removal?
See the table above for published junk removal benchmarks by channel. Where nothing has been published yet, the table says so. A good cost per lead is one that still leaves profit after you account for how many leads you book. Work out your cost per booked job and compare it to your average margin per job.
Is Google LSA or Angi better for junk removal?
It depends on what each one books for you. See the table above for what has been measured, and note that Angi does not publish its per-lead prices. Track both channels the same way: cost per lead, book rate, and cost per booked job. Then compare that against the margin on the jobs each one brings in.
What does a booked job cost for junk removal?
Take what you spent on a channel and divide it by the jobs it actually booked. See the table above for lead prices, and use your own book rate to get from cost per lead to cost per booked job. If that number is lower than your margin per job, the channel is paying for itself.
