Angi leads for mini-split installs costing me $800 a pop in Atlanta

Tried running some ads through Angi for those Mitsubishi mini-split jobs, but damn, the leads are $800 each here in Atlanta and half the time the homeowners ghost after I show up with the line set. We're in zone 3 so heat pumps are huge, but not when I'm eating the cost on every call. Screw that platform.

same here man, angi is a black hole for cash.

ditch angi, focus on google business profile for hvac in your area.

feels bad, i was there last year with those leads.

angi and thumbtack are ruining the game for all of us.

ugh, that sucks. had a similar run in with homeadvisor.

totally get it, leads aint worth the hassle sometimes.

try yard signs at completed jobs, cheaper than angi.

boss pushed me to use angi for a month, regretted it big time.

how many installs you closing from those $800 leads anyway?

yeah im in the same boat, atlanta market is tough.

proud i stuck to referrals, hit 150k without that bs.

sucks, but dont let it kill your momentum.

man that stings, been burned too.

try facebook groups like hvac techs network for real leads.

i hear ya, same crap with my area.

what's your close rate on angi leads? curious.

homeowners these days just window shop, waste of time.

post in r/hvac for better lead gen tips, saw some good ones.

frustrated as hell, leads dried up after summer rush.

angi plus thumbtack, both trash for hvac work.

damn, that price per lead is robbery.

i was pissed too, switched everything to seo.

wanna hear more about your atlanta strategy?

rough, but hang in there brother.

warning: never sign exclusive with angi, locks you in bad.
