Frequently asked questions
How do you qualify a lead?+
Every lead has a verified email, ZIP code, project size estimate, budget band, and timeline. We do not send 'tire-kicker' inquiries with no contact info.
Is the slot truly exclusive?+
Bronze: one featured builder per city. Silver: up to one per city across your 3 selected cities. Gold: you are the sole featured builder for every page in your metro.
What happens if I don't close any leads?+
We don't tie pricing to closes — it's a fixed monthly placement fee. If leads are dry for 60 days, we'll waive the next month while we tune routing.
How is billing handled?+
Stripe subscription, month-to-month. Cancel any time before the next billing cycle.
I'm already a partner — where do I sign in?+
Your portal lives at /builder-portal/{your-slug}. If you've lost the link, email partners@aduglossary.com from your registered email and we'll resend it.
