How NorTech leads work

Browse & contact leads yourself — free until the customer replies
Or turn on auto-match — instantly matched (and charged) for leads that fit your saved targets
No entry or monthly fees
You set your own lead price
Customer compares bids and picks who to hire
Limited number of pros per lead
Target exactly what you want

Pick services, job sizes, and coverage areas — you only see leads that actually match your business.

Message customers directly

No middleman scheduling. Once you contact a lead, you message the homeowner yourself and run the job your way.

Free until they reply

Reaching out yourself costs nothing — if the customer never responds, you're never charged for that lead, straight from your credit balance. (Auto-match leads are the exception: those charge the instant you're matched, since you set that up in advance.)

Real-time matching

New requests match your targets instantly — reply fast and you show up ahead of slower competitors.

Frequently asked questions

No. Working a lead is completely independent — you set your own prices, schedule, and terms directly with the customer. NorTech's only role is connecting you with the request.

It varies by service and how competitive you want to be — you control your own price ceiling. If you browse and contact a lead yourself, reaching out is free and you only pay once the customer replies. If you've turned on auto-match, matching leads charge instantly instead — that's the tradeoff for not having to browse. Either way, there's no subscription or monthly fee.

The same background check, proof of identity, and W-9 every NorTech provider completes — plus ID verification and a valid Certificate of Insurance before you can contact your first lead.

Yes, anytime. Turn on job-board mode from your provider dashboard once you're approved — no second application needed.

Not for a lead you contacted yourself — you're never charged unless the customer actually replies to your message, so if they never respond, it cost you nothing. (Auto-matched leads are charged up front instead, since that's an instant, hands-free match you opted into.) Once you are charged, real, verifiable issues still qualify for credit: duplicate lead, wrong ZIP/area, wrong service, or invalid contact info. File a dispute right from the lead in your dashboard and our team reviews it personally.

No — approved disputes credit your NorTech lead balance, which applies automatically to your next charge. That's a store-credit model, not a refund to your original payment method.
