    Grateful for any advice on whether this a is a good site for business.

    I’m aware you have to pay for any leads they may provide but I don’t know how much.

    Also, are they better for some services rather than others. I’m in the HR/Employment law business so I don’t know whether it’s relevant.

    Thanks in advance.

    I used it for a year or so but dropped it in the end. Most of the leads were too vague, location-wise but they wouldn’t change it. Even though there were a good quantity of leads, you have to be first responding to win any business in popular searches.

    I have used it to hire people to get work done in my house. I also spoke with one business owner who used it to get his initial clients and he had positive things to say about it but that was a long time ago. Can you send me a message with a link to your website? If I know anyone looking for your service I can share it with them.

    It sounds like you’re considering a lead generation site for your HR and employment law business. Here are some points to consider:

    1. Cost of Leads: Research the pricing structure for leads on the site. Some platforms charge per lead, while others may have subscription models. Make sure to assess if the cost aligns with your budget and potential return on investment.
    2. Relevance to Your Industry: Some lead generation sites work better for specific sectors. Look for reviews or case studies from other HR or legal professionals to see how effective the site has been for similar services.
    3. Quality of Leads: Investigate how the site sources its leads. Higher quality leads can lead to better conversion rates, so check if they provide detailed information about potential clients.
    4. Alternative Platforms: Consider other platforms specific to the legal or HR fields, such as specialized directories or professional networks, which may yield better-targeted leads.
    5. Trial Period: If available, take advantage of any trial periods to evaluate the quality and relevance of leads before committing to a payment plan.
    6. Networking: Besides lead generation sites, consider joining professional groups or forums focused on HR and employment law, where you can build relationships and gain referrals.

    Doing thorough research will help you determine if this site is a good fit for your business. Good luck!
