Find a network and apply

Who buys home-service calls, what they look for in a new publisher, and how to apply without wasting months.

A network turns your calls into money. You send calls to a tracking number it gives you, and it pays for each call that qualifies. Some networks are open to beginners; others only take publishers who already send volume.

Pick the network before you build

  • Check that it buys calls for your service in your cities. Coverage differs by area.
  • Read its traffic rules. Some networks ban free marketplace listings like Facebook Marketplace; SEO sites are widely accepted. Get the rules for your offer in writing.
  • Ask whether it accepts publishers from your country, and how it pays (wire, ACH, PayPal). Non-US individuals usually fill in a W-8BEN tax form.

What makes an application succeed

  1. A live site for the service and cities you want. Networks approve faster when they can see real pages.
  2. A clear answer to “where will the calls come from?” Say “an SEO site for water heater repair in five Denver suburbs”, not “various sources”.
  3. Honest expectations. New publishers start small; a few weeks of real calls opens doors to bigger offers.

Know what you're paid for

Each offer defines a qualified call: usually a minimum call length (often 60 to 120 seconds), in the covered area, during buyer hours, and not a repeat caller. Calls that miss these rules aren't paid, so put the call hours on your site if the offer has them.

The Networks section lists networks that buy home-service calls, checked against their own pages, with links to apply.
