How we make money (and why it does not change your quote)

The model in three sentences

You use the site for free. Inspectors in the network pay us a small referral fee when they accept a lead. The fee is an industry-standard cost of doing business that is already in their cost base, so the price they quote you is the same as if you had found them directly.

The longer version

Lead generation is a standard part of how trades and service businesses get customers. Most pest inspectors in Adelaide spend money on Google Ads, on directory listings, on local SEO, on van signage, and on referral fees from sites like this one. The cost of acquiring a new customer is something they have already budgeted for. When they quote you a price, that price already includes a contribution toward acquiring you as a customer, whichever path you came through.

The referral fee in our model typically sits between $25 and $60 per accepted lead, depending on inspection type and suburb. That is well within the standard cost of acquiring a new customer in the inspection industry. Many inspectors find leads through our network cost less than running their own Google Ads, which is one reason they sign up.

What this means for your quote

Three things follow from the model.

• The site is genuinely free for you. No charge to use the form, no charge to receive quotes, no premium tier, no "we will only forward to inspectors if you upgrade".
• The price you are quoted is the same as if you had found the inspector directly. The referral fee is already in the inspector's cost base; there is no markup added because you came through us.
• Inspectors do not pay to be listed. The fee is per accepted lead, not per listing. That means inspectors compete on speed of response, quality of quote, and quality of service, not on who paid us the most for visibility.

What we earn, what we spend on

The referral fees pay for the cost of running the site: domain, hosting, Resend transactional email, GA4 (free tier), the development time it took to build it, and the ongoing time it takes to vet inspectors and respond to queries. Anything left over is taken as profit by Loudachris Digital Marketing.

We are not VC funded. We are not chasing growth at all costs. The site is a small, honest, slow-and-steady business asset. If it covers its costs and produces a modest profit, that is success.

What we will not do

We will not sell your details. We will not pass your information to marketing lists. We will not run remarketing pixels or sell ad space to competing services. We will not list inspectors who pay us extra above other inspectors. We will not "boost" any inspector's chance of getting your lead in exchange for payment. Every inspector in the network is treated equally; the lead goes to whoever has capacity in your area.

Inspector vetting

Inspectors who join the network agree to a basic standard of service: current licence and insurance, AS 4349.3 reporting where applicable, responsive quoting within one business day, and respectful handling of consent. If inspectors do not meet those standards (slow response, poor reporting, unprofessional conduct reported by homeowners), they are removed from the network.

If you have feedback

The simplest way to flag feedback about an inspector is to reply to the email you received from the system when you submitted the form, or use the quote form again and note your feedback in the "other" inspection-type box. We read it.
