That is the exact format, forwarded to you within minutes of the homeowner submitting. Phone leads work the same way: a homeowner calls our line at (380) 333-9067, leaves their name, number, and problem, and you get the message and the callback number. Once you are signed we can point that line straight at your phone instead.
How billing works
- Pick prepay or weekly. Prepay a block of leads, or get invoiced every Friday for that week.
- Pay by card through Stripe. One line item per lead, $200 each. Receipt on every charge.
- Bad-number credit. If the phone is disconnected or the number is wrong, tell us within 24 hours and it is credited. That is the only credit we give.
- Stop anytime. No contract, no monthly minimum, no setup fee. Say stop and the leads stop.
Card checkout through Stripe. Adjust the quantity to prepay a block.
Rather be invoiced? Email dallas@firstcallcolumbus.com — billed Friday, same price.
After you pay
- Leads come to your email. We send each one to the address on your payment the moment it lands. Want them at a different inbox, or texted to a cell? Email Dallas and it is done.
- The phone line keeps working for you. Homeowners who call (380) 333-9067 hear that one local shop will call them back, and leave a message. You get it like any other lead.
- Bad number? Email dallas@firstcallcolumbus.com within 24 hours of delivery. Credited, no argument.
- Stopping. Email the word stop. Nothing to cancel, no notice period. Unused prepaid leads are refunded.
Fair questions
Why $200?
Because the lead is yours alone. Shared-lead platforms charge less and sell the same homeowner to five shops — you pay less per lead and then burn hours racing everyone else to the phone. One exclusive inbound lead that asked for help today is worth a service call; on a replace, it is a rounding error.
Why exclusive? What does that actually mean?
One lead, one shop, never resold, ever. We are signing a single Columbus shop and sending every lead we generate to them. Exclusivity per lead is the product. Exclusivity on the whole metro is available if we agree to it in writing.
Why is the number (380) and not (614)?
(380) is Columbus — it is the overlay code Columbus started issuing when (614) numbers ran out. There is currently no (614) inventory to buy. It is a genuine local number, and if (614) inventory opens up we will grab one.
What if the homeowner does not hire me?
That risk is yours — we are honest about that. We sell the introduction, not the outcome. The only credit is a bad number reported within 24 hours. If the leads do not close for you, stop buying. No contract means that costs you nothing.
How do I stop?
Email dallas@firstcallcolumbus.com and say stop. That is the whole process. Unused prepaid leads are refunded.
Are you a contractor?
No. Worden, LLC is a lead generation company. We do not perform HVAC work, we do not quote jobs, and we do not compete with you. The homeowner page says the same thing to homeowners.
Are you the First Call in Wisconsin?
No. First Call Heating & Cooling, Inc. of Racine, Wisconsin is a real contractor and is not us. We are First Call HVAC Columbus — firstcallcolumbus.com — and we are not affiliated with them.
Rather talk first?
We are placing this with one Columbus HVAC company. Leave your info and Dallas will get back to you — or skip the line and pay for your first lead now.
