How we make money
The short version is the disclosure you'll see next to every quote button on this site:
Worth knowing up front: the business a matching partner eventually lines up to quote your job might not be the specialist whose name is on this page. Here's why. Get Quotes is a hand-off to an outside partner network, not a direct line to any specialist listed here. If that hand-off turns into work, the partner compensates us; nothing ever flows the other way, from a specialist to us, for a listing or for a better spot on one. In most cities, a specialist appears here because a state's license file says so. When a city doesn't have a matching license file here yet, a specialist appears instead because Google's own ratings put it near the top for this exact search. Neither path involves a payment to us.
Money moves in one direction: from a matching partner to us, and only after a Get Quotes request becomes a lead that partner can act on. Nothing moves from a listed specialist to us, ever, whether or not they end up doing your job.
Placement on this page follows the state's license file where one exists, or a business's own Google rating where it doesn't; neither path is a payment. Any sponsored content, if it ever appears, will be labeled separately from both kinds of listing.
The quote button
Pages with listings also carry a quote button. It opens a quote request run by our matching partners, not by the businesses listed on the page. When you ask for quotes through it, a partner may pay us. That is how we pay for running this site.
The partner decides which companies to match you with, so the companies that contact you may not be the ones listed on the page you came from. Before you hire anyone, check their license the same way you would check a listed business.
What it costs you
Using Tub-to-Shower Conversions costs homeowners nothing. You don't pay us for listings, lookups or quote requests.
What money doesn't change
- Listings come from state license records or, on top-rated lists, from Google Maps ratings. No business pays to be listed, to be left off, or for its position.
- License listings are sorted alphabetically. Top-rated lists are ranked only by Google rating and review count.
- There are no paid placements today. If we add any, they will be marked Sponsored.
- Verify license links go only to the state's license registry, never to a partner.
How to tell the links apart
Quote buttons always sit in a box with the disclosure above, and they are marked as sponsored links in the page code (rel="sponsored"). Every other outbound link on the site goes to an official license record, a business's Google Maps listing, or a source we cite.
