Use case — Home services & contractor directories
Sell contractors the homeowners ready to hire
Homeowners hit a contractor directory with a broken furnace or a remodel to quote — high-urgency jobs that pros pay top dollar to win. DirectoryAdServer lets you sell trade-category placements with service-area targeting and seasonal campaigns to those contractors, and keep every dollar instead of feeding a lead-gen middleman.
Why it fits
Built for how home-services directories sell
Trade-category inventory
Homeowners search by trade — plumbing, HVAC, roofing, electrical, remodeling. Sell placements by category and service area so each contractor reaches the jobs it actually wants in the zip codes it serves.
Leads that are ready to call
Someone on a home-services directory has a broken water heater or a project quote due. Contractors pay premium rates for that urgency — your directory captures it before they hit the big lead-gen apps.
Seasonal, schedulable campaigns
HVAC peaks in summer, roofing after storms, landscaping in spring. Contractors buy time-boxed campaigns with start and end dates so spend lands in their busy season and pauses when work dries up.
Self-serve across every trade
Pros buy a package, the campaign provisions itself, and each contractor manages creatives and reads lead reports in a portal — so you can sell across dozens of trades without manual setup per pro.
