For 15 years I was in the machine. I was the head of marketing and sales for four solar contracting companies. During that time, myself and my team drove sales over $150 million all told. More than $100 million of that was in residential sales. I've sat at a thousand kitchen tables. I still have every customer I've ever sold to in my phone. As a manager, I understand the need for leads. Leads make the business run.
And for a long time, lead-gen platforms were the smart play. They were cheaper than running your own internal marketing. Buy leads, close jobs, grow. Simple.
Then the math flipped.
Every year the prices crept up. The lead quality went down. And the platforms kept spending. Not to help contractors, but to dominate the ad space so contractors couldn't afford to compete on their own. Now you're paying more for worse leads and getting priced out of running your own marketing. The system doesn't work for contractors anymore. It works for the system.
I started Here's My Guy because I've seen this from every angle. The kitchen table, the marketing budget, the invoice for leads, half of which never answered the phone. I know it can be better.
What we're building
A contractor directory built on a simple idea: the contractor is not a commodity, and to the homeowner, you are not a lead.
We don't sell your info to a dozen companies. We don't blast homeowners with spam. And we don't spend ad money competing against the contractors who partner with us. If you're on our platform, we won't outbid you on Google.
We're not pretending this runs on goodwill. We'll offer featured listings and premium placement. But we're building this as a partnership, not a toll booth. Get in early as a founding member and help shape what this thing becomes.
For homeowners
You deserve better than filling out a form and getting ambushed by your phone. Here's My Guy is simple. Browse real contractors, see real information, make your own call. That's it.
And when you find your guy, pick up the phone and call them. Tell them you found them on Here's My Guy. That's how this works. Your call helps them, their quality helps you, and the whole thing gets better.
We want to hear from you too. Who's good. Who showed up on time. Who you'd call again. Your voice is what makes this directory worth something.
For contractors
Our goal is simple. Get you on page one of Google. A rising tide raises all ships, and together we make it happen.
You shouldn't have to rent your reputation on someone else's platform and then compete with their ad budget too. Own your profile. Show your work. Let the quality speak.
The rollout
We're launching state by state based on demand. We'd rather build each market right than rush a nationwide rollout and become another junk directory nobody trusts.
And here's what makes us different. You decide where we go next. Contractors and homeowners tell us which markets to launch. This isn't a boardroom decision. It's yours.
If your state isn't live yet, vote to bring us there.
