The D7 Lead Finder alternative for agencies that sell to contractors
D7 Lead Finder is a popular tool for agencies that want local business lists by keyword and city, with basic website and social checks. It is close in spirit to Contractor Leads. The difference is depth: Contractor Leads specialises in home-service trades, pulls live Google data, scores each business on four marketing dimensions, finds the owner from the business website, checks Meta ads and writes the outreach.
