Yardstick

For contractors

Turn every finished job into your next three.

Plant a Yardstick sign on the job site. Neighbors scan it, see your real work, and request quotes that are exclusively yours — and the homeowner earns a reward you only fund when one becomes your client.

Free to join. Signs at cost. Free leads forever. We make money only when you do.

Why it's different

Not another pay-per-lead list.

Exclusive

One lead, one contractor

Never shared, never resold. The neighbor who scans your sign reaches you and only you.

Pay on win

$0 until you close

No membership, no per-lead charge. You pay a single success fee only when a lead becomes a signed job.

Trusted

Real work, homeowner-approved

Your case studies are documented on real job sites with the homeowner's sign-off — proof no ad can match.

The real comparison

You already put signs in the yard. These ones pay you back.

Your alternative isn't another lead list — it's the signs already in your truck. Here's the difference.

What you pay up front
Your own signs
$18–22 per sign — spent whether or not it ever works
Yardstick
Signs at cost (~$7), reused across jobs — about $2 per campaign
When you pay for a result
Your own signs
Never — the sign is a sunk cost either way
Yardstick
Only when a lead becomes a closed job
What a neighbor sees
Your own signs
Your name and a phone number
Yardstick
A real case study — photos, the story, an honest cost range
The leads you get

Why the homeowner keeps it up
Your own signs
No reason — it's your ad on their lawn

After the sign comes down
Your own signs
Nothing left behind
Yardstick
A permanent page that ranks and refers for years
How you measure it
Your own signs
Guesswork
Yardstick
Scans → inquiries → closes, all measured

The covenant

Your leads are yours. Forever.

A lead from your sign or page is never sold, routed, or shown to another contractor — ever, including after you stop using Yardstick. No shared leads. No bidding wars. No account that expires out from under your pipeline.

“Leads from your pages are exclusively yours, delivered free, forever. They are never sold to anyone else, ever.”

— from the Contractor Terms

The long game

Signs work for 90 days. Your pages work forever.

Every project becomes a permanent page in the local cost archive. When a neighbor searches “kitchen remodel cost near me” months later, your documented work is the answer — and the quote is still yours. The archive compounds; your competitors can't buy their way back in time.
