What website do other contractors find that generate the best leads? Are they paid leads?
Angie’s List has worked v well for us as far as quality of leads - they do charge a monthly fee. Home Advisor and BuildZoom both charge a per lead rate, so the quality can be hit-or-miss. Porch.com is the third-party contractor directory for Lowe’s now, so you can give that a try. Having an inquiry form on your website is always a great approach, especially if you can tailor it to do some of your prequalifying for you.
It would be subjective to say which is the “best” website for online marketing. You would have to try number of them over time to see which works best for you. However, I would suggest that the “best method” to market your business is to utilize your own company website. Invest some time and money to create in the proper SEO (search engine optimization) for your site. Additionally, you can hire a website developer to create keyword copy, H1 & H2, and metatags that will allow your website to appear in more search results. That will result in potential clients visiting your website where they can learn about your company. Be sure to include testimonials and a “call to action”.
