The Free Lead Report: See This Week's Local Jobs Before You Join

Every lead company says the same thing: "There are jobs in your area." Maybe. The honest way to find out isn't a sales call — it's looking at the actual asks. That's why the free lead report exists: before you pay Nail the Match a dollar, we show you a week of real local requests that match your trade, in your towns, in your own keywords.

What the report is

You give us up to 10 keywords — the words homeowners use when they need what you do — and the area you work. We search the past week's local asks across Facebook groups, Nextdoor, Craigslist, and Reddit, and send you the ones that match. The delivered report includes the real post links and the poster contact info from the posts, so you can see exactly who asked, where, and for what. It's free — one report per email address and one per physical address, so it stays a genuine sample instead of a fishing license.

Start with the live board

You can preview the flow yourself right now. The lead board on our homepage shows local requests from the past week (with personal details redacted — the full links and contact info are only in delivered reports). Search it by trade or by town. See asks you'd have wanted? That's what a plan watches continuously. And if you search a keyword and the board shows no matches, you'll find a "Submit my keyword" option: enter the keyword and your email, and we'll run a free check for that keyword for you. A zero on the public board doesn't mean nobody's asking — it can mean your exact word is the one worth watching.

Free report vs. the $5 sample list

The free lead report is the one-time look: one week, up to 10 keywords, free once per email and address. If you want the same past-week snapshot again or outside the free offer, the $5 Sample Lead List is the paid one-time version. Either way, you're looking at real asks — not a demo, not a mock-up, not last year's data.

What happens if the asks are there

A report is a snapshot of last week. A keyword plan is the same watching, done continuously: your keywords, your radius, matches emailed twice a day while the asks are fresh. Plans are Starter $49, Plus $99, and Pro $149 a month — monthly only, no per-lead charges, no contract — and your first month carries the 30-Day Lead Guarantee. The report is how you verify the demand is real. The plan is how you stop missing it. Full details are on the plans page.

Questions & Answers

What does the free lead report cost?

Nothing. It's free once per email address and once per physical address. Give us up to 10 keywords and your area, and we send the past week's matching local asks.

What's actually in the delivered report?

The real local asks from the past week that match your keywords — from Facebook groups, Nextdoor, Craigslist, and Reddit — with the original post links and the poster contact info included in the posts. The public board redacts personal details; delivered reports don't.

I searched the board for my keyword and got no results. Now what?

Use the 'Submit my keyword' option on the board: enter your keyword and your email, and we'll run a free check for that keyword. No match on the public board often just means your exact word or trade phrasing is the one that needs watching.

How is the free report different from the $5 Sample Lead List?

Both show a week of real asks for your keywords. The free lead report is the free one-time offer — once per email address and once per physical address. The $5 Sample Lead List is the paid one-time snapshot beyond that.

What do I do if the report shows real demand in my area?

That's what a keyword plan is for: the same matching, running continuously, with your matches emailed twice a day. Plans run $49 to $149 a month, and your first month is covered by the 30-Day Lead Guarantee.
