Your desktop watches → your phone buzzes
Service pros across the US run LeadHunter USA every day.
Three steps, about ten minutes, and you never touch it again.
One download for Windows or Mac. Sign in once and it runs quietly in the background — no tabs to keep open.
Choose the local groups and neighborhoods worth watching. Add your trade’s keywords — or take the ones we suggest.
A matching post shows up and your phone buzzes with the text and a direct link. Reply while the job is still warm.
The groups are already yours — the local ones you joined, and the Nextdoor feed for where you live. That is what makes a lead local: it comes from your own communities, not a national list.
LeadHunter USA listens for homeowners describing your job in their own words — not a category dropdown.
Burst pipes, water heaters, leaks under the sink — the posts that turn into same-day calls.
See plumber leads →Breakers tripping, panel upgrades, EV chargers, outlets that stopped working overnight.
See electrician leads →Yard cleanups, tree trimming, sprinkler repairs and the weekly-maintenance asks.
See gardener leads →Drywall, doors that won’t close, mounted TVs, the honey-do list nobody got to.
See handyman leads →The first cold night, a smoky living room, and a whole neighborhood asking at once who to call.
See chimney leads →The most-asked-for service in any neighborhood group — and the one that becomes a standing appointment.
See house cleaner leads →A limb comes down overnight, and by morning the whole street is asking for the same thing.
See tree service leads →The unit quits on the hottest day of the year, and whoever answers first gets the call.
See hvac leads →The most expensive lead in the trades — and it starts as a free post about a stain on the ceiling.
See roofer leads →Two seasons in one trade — exteriors while the weather holds, interiors the moment it does not.
See painter leads →The cheapest lead on the board attached to one of the biggest single-day tickets.
See epoxy coating leads →Nobody searches for a carpenter. They describe the thing they want built and hope someone answers.
See carpenter leads →Big tickets, slow decisions, and a season that closes the moment the ground freezes.
See masonry leads →One neighbor posts about mice in the attic and half the street realises they have them too.
See pest control leads →A spring snaps and the car is trapped inside. Nobody shops around for that one.
See garage door leads →A green pool is a photo post — and the route customer behind it pays every week for years.
See pool service leads →The draft they notice in October becomes the quote they collect in October.
See window installer leads →The biggest jobs start as the vaguest posts — someone asking who they should even be talking to.
See general contractor leads →The fridge stops cooling and the clock is however long the food lasts.
See appliance repair leads →A car that will not start is a problem that cannot be driven to a shop.
See mobile mechanic leads →Nextdoor says most people find their sitter through a neighbor. This is that conversation.
See pet sitter leads →The homeowner who cannot afford to replace it has not stopped wanting it to look new.
See refinishing leads →The ask is public, the thread fills within the hour, and the marketplaces charge more per inquiry than the session is worth.
See photography leads →Lower volume than any trade here, and a single client is worth thousands a year for years.
See bookkeeping leads →I’m G — a plumber. I spent thousands of dollars on lead-gen services that promised great leads and mostly delivered junk. The ones that actually turned into jobs came from local online communities: neighbors posting “anyone know a good plumber?” that I’d see hours or days late, after someone else had already taken the work.
So I priced it well below what the lead-gen companies charge — because I remember what it felt like to overpay for promises.
That’s why I built LeadHunter USA. It watches those groups for me all day and pings my phone within minutes of a match. The same posts that used to get me my best customers — except now I’m not the last one to see them.
No per-lead fees, no contracts, no upsells. Angi, Thumbtack and HomeAdvisor charge per lead and send the same one to several pros — we do not sell leads at all, and one flat price covers everything the app finds. Start free for 7 days — no credit card.

LeadHunter USA runs on your own computer, not on our servers, and it only reads. It never posts, comments, likes or messages, and it never contacts a homeowner for you. You sign in to Facebook and Nextdoor yourself, so we never see your password, and there are no bot accounts of ours sitting in your groups — it sees what you would see if you scrolled the feed yourself, on the machine you already use. Nobody can guarantee what a platform will do, and any vendor who gives you a guarantee is overselling, but read-only on your own login on your own computer is the least exposed way this can work.
Yes. The LeadHunter USA desktop app is the part that does the watching, and it needs to be running. It installs on Windows or Mac, runs quietly in the background while you work, and pushes matches to your phone — there are no tabs to keep open. If the computer sleeps, the watching stops until it wakes. The phone app is where you read the leads, not where they are found.
Then there is not much to watch, and that is the honest limit of how LeadHunter USA works — it sees your groups, not everybody’s. Most people fix it in ten minutes by joining the neighborhood groups for the areas they already work in. Those are where "anyone know a good plumber?" actually gets posted, and being a member of a few of the right local ones beats being in twenty broad ones.
No. LeadHunter USA does not sell leads at all. A post the app finds for you goes to you and nobody else, and it is never resold, shared or passed on. Angi, Thumbtack and HomeAdvisor charge per lead and send the same one to several pros — that is a different business, and it is not ours.
LeadHunter USA is $75 a month flat, or $720 a year. That covers every group, every keyword and every lead the app finds, across every area you set up. No contracts, no upsells, and nothing charged per lead. Seven days free to start, with no credit card.
Twenty-four, from plumbing, HVAC and electrical through to masonry, chimney work, refinishing and appliance repair. LeadHunter USA listens for the way a homeowner actually describes the job — "no hot water", "the upstairs is hot" — rather than a category dropdown. If your trade is not covered, write to us and we will add the words for it.
