Several years back I needed a plumber in a bit of a hurry. I used Angie’s List, now angi.com, with a little less hesitancy than using Google reviews or yelp.

The plumber I hired this way did a good job at a fair price. For less urgent work I hired this company for other work even after getting bids from others.

When I needed a plumber I reached out to a bunch of buddies to see who they use.

I got quotes from three of their recommendations and ended up using the one a buddy found on the back of a church bulletin. Guy was amazing - a one man shop - super professional, fair price, quality work and replacement parts. Done in less than 1 hour. It's great to have a trustworthy plumber.

That’s basically the same business model. It’s just a funnel.
