On a pay-per-lead site, about the lead price divided by the share that turn into work: at £15 a lead and about 40% of exclusive enquiries won, about £38 a client, against work worth £100 to £3,000 per drain survey or repair job. Shared leads win less often, so cost more per client.
Should a commercial drainage firm buy leads?
If one job won pays for the leads it took to win it. Track every lead you pay for and what it became; keep the channels that pay and drop the ones that do not. There is no contract on Worklanded, so trying it costs one lead.
