How Much Do Genuine Bathroom Leads Cost?

It costs about $100 to generate a raw bathroom remodeling lead through sources like Google and Facebook/Meta ads — and this is if you're highly skilled at paid-media buying. Working with a lead-generation company, each lead will cost a bit more to compensate for the time and expertise required to deliver you quality leads. As such, expect to pay at least $150 for an exclusive bathroom lead

Most of the time, you will pay less per lead if it is sold to you and other bathroom contractors, which happens when the consumer opts to be contacted by multiple companies. However, if a lead-gen company’s pricing seems too low, it could be a red flag. Companies offering bathroom leads for $20 or $30 may be recycling old leads and/or violating FCC regulations. Calling such leads exposes you to TCPA litigation risks and hefty fines.

How Profitable is Buying Bathroom Remodeling Leads?

Here is a typical example of the results a Fixr bathroom lead buyer sees when buying Duo and Trio leads (leads shared with one or two other contractors rather than exclusive bathroom leads).

Number of leads purchased per month

100

Average cost per lead (Duo)

$120

Total spend on leads per month

$12,000

Average revenue per project

$24,000

Average cost of labor and materials per project

$12,000

Gross profit per project

$12,000

% of leads that convert to projects

8%

Number of new projects won

8

Lead cost per job

$1,500

Gross margin in new projects

$96,000

Additional profit per month

$84,000

This is exactly a 700% return on investment, even though more than 90% of the leads did not buy. This is how profitable buying good-quality bathroom leads is. Many clients actually see much higher conversion rates, but even at these levels, the economics of purchasing bathroom leads is compelling.

Alert: FCC One-to-One Compliance

Starting January 27, consumers will need to provide express written consent before receiving marketing communications from a company. You cannot call old leads after January 27 — non-compliant consent given before this date will be legally expired, and contacting these leads could result in fines and legal damages.

Types of Bathroom Remodeling Leads

Search (Google) Ads

Given its domination in search, Google is a critical lead-generation platform. The cost of traffic through Google Ads has been increasing quickly, and new advertisers face disadvantages that hike up their costs per click and per lead. However, the traffic is high-intent, and you have full control over campaign operations, budgets, and bids.

Social (Facebook) Ads

Facebook and Instagram offer immense reach and advanced targeting to find potential customers in specific service areas. Social media’s visual nature is great for displaying your work. But the intent isn’t always high, as the ads appear casually on someone’s feed, and the creative needs to be updated regularly.

Lead-Gen Services

The professional marketers at a lead-generation company already know how to maximize ROI on any advertising platform. Tapping into their skills and efficiency, you can save time and skip the “trial and error” period of starting up ad campaigns. You will pay an upcharge for the service, though, so factor that into your budget.

Traditional Media Ads

Although it’s less popular these days, advertising through traditional means like print ads, television commercials, and billboards can still help you reach older demographics in specific locales. The downsides to these channels are that they have high upfront costs and it’s almost impossible to measure return on investment.

Common Questions About Bathroom Lead Generation

Forget door-knocking. The most efficient and effective way to get new bathroom remodeling customers is to capture the homeowners in your area who are already searching for your services. 

When someone types “bathroom remodeling” into Google, you’ll want your brand to be the first thing that pops up. Now, if you’re inexperienced with search ads, it may be difficult to get that top ad placement. This is where a service like Fixr comes in. We can capture this audience and send the homeowners on to you.

Exclusive leads are leads that are only sold to one company. Other types of leads, such as Duo and Trio leads, are sold to multiple companies (two and three, respectively, in this example). 

The number of companies a lead is sold to is determined by the homeowner. With the FCC’s new one-to-one consent ruling, the consumer chooses exactly which companies they want to be contacted by. So, if they only select your company, you’ll get an Exclusive lead. If they select your company and two others, you’ll get a Trio lead.

Of course, any business is free to set up a Google Ads account and start running their own campaigns. However, success isn’t guaranteed, and it can be hard to get a positive return on ad spend (ROAS) if you don’t know digital marketing industry standards and best practices.

When hiring a company to help you get online leads, you leave the hard work to the professionals. For a small “finder’s fee,” their experience and expertise are your gain. From the start, you’ll get better-optimized ads, higher-quality leads, and lower-cost conversions than most businesses can ever generate on their own.
