Give Your Contractor Clients a Channel With No Lead Fees

Q: How is GigNGo different from Thumbtack or Angi for agency clients?

Thumbtack and Angi charge per lead — commonly $15 to $60 or more on Thumbtack and $15 to $100 or more on Angi, with the same lead often sold to several businesses at once. GigNGo charges no lead fees at all, so every job a client wins through it arrives at zero marginal cost, which directly lowers the blended cost per lead an agency reports to that client.

If you run marketing for contractors or home-service businesses, GigNGo is a line you can add to every client's channel mix at zero cost: a marketplace where seeing and answering jobs is free, there is no commission, and every job won lowers the blended cost per lead you report.

Why Agencies Add GigNGo to the Mix

Your clients already pay for introductions somewhere — per-lead platforms, search ads, social. A free channel does not replace that work; it makes the whole report look better.

Zero marginal cost per job. On pay-per-lead platforms, a customer contact commonly costs $15–$60 or more on Thumbtack and $15–$100 or more on Angi — and the same lead is often sold to several businesses at once. On GigNGo, applying to posted jobs is free and workers keep 100 percent of what the customer pays.
Better blended CPL in your client reporting. Every job a client books through a $0 channel pulls the account-wide cost per lead down. Run the arithmetic with our lead fee calculator or the 2026 lead-cost comparison.
A public profile that helps your other channels. Each client gets a public, indexable GigNGo profile with reviews — one more credible search result for their name, at no cost.
Real market data for your proposals. GigNGo publishes what real customers budget by service (gigngo.org/costs) and what locals earn per job (gigngo.org/earnings) — numbers you can cite in pitches and pricing conversations.
Nothing to unwind if it underperforms. There is no contract and no spend. If a market is quiet, the client has lost nothing but a profile setup.

How Agencies Set Clients Up

Most agencies fold this into normal client onboarding. It takes about fifteen minutes per client.

Create the client's account

Each business signs up free (with the client, or by the client — the account is theirs). Add services, photos, service area, and any existing reviews worth mirroring.

Turn on job alerts

The client gets notified when a matching job is posted nearby and applies free. No per-lead charge, no commission on the work.

Track it like any channel

Jobs won through GigNGo arrive at $0 marginal cost. Report the wins alongside paid channels and watch the blended numbers improve.

Common Questions From Agencies

Can a marketing agency put its contractor clients on GigNGo?

Yes. Each client business creates its own free GigNGo account, and many agencies handle the setup with the client during onboarding: profile, service categories, photos, service area, and reviews. There is no charge for the account, no lead fees, and no commission, so the channel costs the client nothing to try.

What does GigNGo cost a contractor or home-service business?

Nothing to join and nothing per lead. Seeing and applying to posted jobs is free, and workers keep 100 percent of what customers pay them — GigNGo charges no commission. Revenue comes from optional Pro subscription tiers that add visibility, which are never required to receive or respond to work.

How is GigNGo different from Thumbtack or Angi for agency clients?

Thumbtack and Angi charge per lead — commonly $15–$60 or more on Thumbtack and $15–$100 or more on Angi, with the same lead often sold to several businesses at once. GigNGo charges no lead fees at all, so every job a client wins through it arrives at zero marginal cost. The honest trade-off: GigNGo is newer, so job volume in a given market may be lower than on the older platforms — which is exactly why it belongs in the mix as the free line, not the only line.

Does GigNGo have a partner or referral program for agencies?

GigNGo runs an in-app referral program with rewards for both sides, and works with agencies and other partners directly. If you want to onboard several clients, write to [email protected] or use the partner form and we will set you up properly.
