Value analysis: Angi gives you leads immediately, but the math is brutal: shared leads, low contact rates, and an average cost of ~$1,400 per booked job. Teehoo's flat $499/mo builds AI visibility that compounds over time — no per-lead fees, no shared competition. The first 30-60 days with Teehoo are slower (AI visibility builds gradually), but by month 3-4 most clients see direct inquiries from AI search at a fraction of the Angi cost.
For contractors transitioning away from lead dependency:
The goal isn't to quit Angi overnight — it's to build an alternative channel so you're not dependent on a platform with a 2.1 Trustpilot rating and a $7.2M FTC fine.
Run a free GEO Audit — find out if ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini recommend you when homeowners ask for contractors.
Free GEO Audit →They serve completely different purposes. Angi is a lead marketplace — you pay per lead, shared with multiple contractors. Teehoo is an AI visibility platform — it helps you get recommended when customers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for contractor recommendations. Angi delivers immediate leads (at high cost). Teehoo builds long-term organic visibility so leads come to you directly.
Angi lead costs vary by trade and location, but contractors report paying $15-$85 per shared lead and averaging around $1,400 per booked job after accounting for low contact rates and shared competition. Leads are sent to multiple contractors simultaneously, so you're competing on speed. Teehoo charges a flat $499/mo for managed AI visibility optimization with no per-lead fees.
Angi's revenue dropped 46% from $1.89B to $1.03B between 2022 and 2024, and its market cap fell 98% from peak. The FTC fined Angi $7.2M for deceptive practices. Trustpilot reviews average 2.1 out of 5. Many contractors report poor lead quality, leads shared with 4-5 competitors, and difficulty canceling. The lead marketplace model is being disrupted by AI search, where customers increasingly ask ChatGPT or Google Gemini directly for recommendations.
Yes, and we recommend it as a transition strategy. Use Angi for immediate lead flow if your pipeline is empty. Simultaneously use Teehoo to build AI visibility so you start getting organic recommendations from ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. As AI-sourced leads grow, reduce Angi spend. Many contractors find that $499/mo in AI visibility generates better ROI than $1,400+ per Angi-booked job.
Teehoo tracks and optimizes your visibility across AI search platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity). It runs a 14-point GEO Audit, provides managed schema markup installation, AI-powered review reply management, and a lead-capture chat widget. Angi does none of these — it simply sells you shared leads. Teehoo helps you own your visibility; Angi rents it to you per lead.
