The short version
The Angi Pro Agreement says you pay for the leads you receive even if you do not win the job, and that a lead may be sent to multiple pros. It sets the term and price in a contract you sign at onboarding, can raise the subscription fee up to ten percent at renewal, and may carry an early termination fee. Gold Strategics builds a site and Google presence you own, at one public price with no contract.
Angi is a lead marketplace. We are not, and we do not sell leads; we build the place where your own customers find and reach you.

Where Angi may be the better fit
A lead marketplace can put you in front of homeowners who are ready to hire today, without you having a site that ranks. If you want that and you track what each lead costs you against the jobs it closes, it can fit. We build the other thing: a site and Google presence that bring in your own inquiries, which no other contractor is sent a copy of.
What it costs with us
One extra $2,000 job a month pays for it five times over. Year one, all in: 12 x $349 + $500 = $4,688.
Cancel inside ninety days for any reason and we refund the $500 build in full, no questions asked. Monthly fees cover the months the system ran and are not refunded, and the site and domain stay yours either way.
The Business Operating System is the whole list at one price, nothing billed per tool. Website: Multi-page, SEO optimized, Intake forms, Fully custom, Career forms, AI optimized, AI chatbot. Tools: CRM, Automated follow-up and reminder tool, Visitor analytics dashboard, Online booking and scheduling with deposits, Two-way texting, Review builder, Knowledge management system. Services: Online presence audit, Google Business Profile optimization, Priority website changes.

Questions people ask before they switch
Do I still pay for an Angi lead if I do not get the job?
The Pro Agreement says yes: you pay for the leads you receive even if you do not win the job, and leads are not guaranteed jobs.
Can Angi raise my price?
The agreement says Angi may increase the subscription fee by up to ten percent over the previous term. You can prevent renewal by giving notice before the new term begins.
Do you replace Angi?
Not directly. We do not sell leads or run ads. We build the website, follow-up and Google Business Profile work that bring in inquiries that are only yours, and some owners keep a marketplace alongside it.
What does Gold Strategics cost?
The Business Operating System is $500 to build and $349 a month, website included, with no contract. Cancel inside ninety days and the build fee is refunded.
