Recommendation marketing for local home-service contractors
Every day, homeowners across the country skip the search engine and ask their neighbors instead: who do you trust for this? Those questions land on Nextdoor, in Facebook neighborhood groups, and on local forums — and whoever gets named in the replies gets the job. FirstThread makes sure that name is yours. We find the recommendation threads in your service area and surface your established HVAC, fencing, or roofing business in them authentically, by hand, so you become the go-to local contractor your market already vouches for.

Why neighborhood recommendations beat ads
Paid ads interrupt people who aren't ready to buy. A neighbor's recommendation reaches homeowners at the exact moment they've decided to hire — and it carries trust no ad can buy. That's why recommendation marketing converts where local service ads don't.
One contractor per metro
We onboard a single company per trade in each market. Claim your territory and your competitors can't buy their way in.
A neighbor's word, not an ad
Homeowners trust a recommendation from someone on their street far more than a Google ad or a sponsored post. That trust is what we put your name on.
Where the decision happens
Buying decisions for home services start in neighborhood threads — long before a homeowner opens a search engine. We get you in early.
Your first lead in 7 days
Risk-reversed: if we don't get you your first lead within your first 7 days, you get your money back.
