by directories before.

πŸ’Έ

You paid for leads that went nowhere

HomeAdvisor. Thumbtack. Angie's List. You paid per lead. The homeowner was shopping 6 contractors at once. Half the "leads" were fake. You stopped trusting the model.

πŸ“‰

The best contractor isn't always #1

On most platforms, the top result paid to be there. You know guys with half your skill and twice your marketing budget ranking above you. It's demoralizing β€” and homeowners are catching on.

πŸ“£

Word of mouth works. You just can't scale it.

Your best jobs come from referrals. Someone trusted you, told a neighbor, and you got a call. That's the model that works β€” PorchList just makes it happen at scale, automatically.

Built on reputation.
Not on ad spend.

01

Homeowners recommend you first

Before you even sign up, homeowners who've hired you can add you to PorchList and upvote your profile. Your reputation starts building the moment your first happy customer recommends you.

02

Claim your profile (free, 5 minutes)

Search for your business. Claim it with email verification. Add your contact info, services, and a short bio. Your claimed badge signals to homeowners that you're engaged and professional.

03

Let your rank do the work

Every upvote moves you up. Every job well done turns into a vote from a real, verified homeowner. No ad budget needed β€” just good work.

β€œOn PorchList, a contractor with 50 real homeowner votes will always rank above one with 0 votes and a $500/month ad budget. That's not a feature β€” it's the whole point.”

Your profile. Your reputation.
Your tools.

Profile analyticsPro

See how many homeowners viewed your profile, which lists you've appeared on, and where your traffic is coming from. Know what's working.

We will never sell your rank.

Other platforms let competitors pay to outrank you. We built PorchList on the opposite promise. Your rank is determined by one thing only: how many verified homeowners have recommended you. No boosted placements. No featured listings for purchase. No way to buy your way above a contractor who's earned it.

Competitors cannot pay to rank above you

Downvotes cannot be removed for payment

β€œI claimed my profile not expecting much. Three months later I've gotten 6 calls from homeowners who found me on their realtor's PorchList. That's more than I ever got from HomeAdvisor.”

Questions contractors ask us

Downvotes are part of the system β€” and that's what makes PorchList trustworthy to homeowners. You cannot pay to remove a downvote. What you can do (on Pro) is respond publicly to questions and concerns on your profile, which builds credibility even when there's a critical voice.
No. Only homeowners and realtors control their own lists. You cannot pay or request to be added to someone's list. If they've worked with you and trust you, they'll add you β€” that's the whole model.
Homeowners can add any contractor they've worked with. If you find your business already listed, that means someone recommended you β€” which is a great sign. Claim it to verify your info and take control of your profile.
On those platforms, your visibility is largely determined by your ad spend. On PorchList, it's determined entirely by homeowner votes. We don't sell leads, we don't charge per inquiry, and we don't let competitors pay to outrank you.
No. Even a single claimed, verified profile with a few votes makes you more trustworthy than an unclaimed one. The sooner you claim it, the sooner your votes start building your rank.

Your next client is already looking for someone they can trust.
