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
- A live site for the service and cities you want. Networks approve faster when they can see real pages.
- 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”.
- 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.
