Leads & Matching
How leads are generated, matched, and what to expect.
How do I receive leads on 50Pros?
Leads come from two sources: (1) project requests submitted by businesses through the "Start a Project" wizard, which are automatically matched to your agency based on your service categories, and (2) direct messages from clients who find your profile through the directory. All leads appear in the Leads section of your dashboard with status tracking (New, Viewed, Responded, Qualified, Closed). You’ll receive an email notification when a new lead comes in. Featured agencies get priority positioning in the matching results, meaning their profiles appear first to project submitters.
What information do clients see about my agency?
Clients see your public profile including: agency name, tagline, logo, description, service categories and subcategories, industry specializations, location, team size, founding year, hourly rate range, minimum project size, team member profiles, case studies, client reviews, earned badges, and engagement models. If you are Verified, clients also see your website URL, email address, and phone number directly on your profile. If you are not verified, clients can still reach you through the platform’s messaging system and project request submissions.
What are the best practices for responding to leads?
Respond quickly — agencies that respond within 4 hours consistently earn the Fast Responder badge, which signals reliability to future clients. Personalize your response by referencing the client’s specific project description. Include relevant case studies or examples of similar work. Be transparent about your availability, pricing, and process. Use the platform’s messaging system to keep all communications organized and trackable. You can also track lead status (New, Viewed, Responded, Qualified, Closed) to keep your pipeline organized.
What kind of visibility and leads can I expect?
Visibility depends on several factors: your profile completeness, review volume, verification status, and which service categories you’re listed in. Higher-demand categories like SEO, Web Design, and App Development tend to receive more traffic. Your analytics dashboard shows detailed metrics including monthly profile views, website clicks, contact clicks, search appearance frequency, and source breakdown. As the platform grows, so does traffic to all agency profiles. Featured agencies and those with paid placement slots typically see significantly higher visibility.
Does 50Pros guarantee a specific number of leads?
No. 50Pros does not guarantee a specific volume of leads or project requests. Lead volume depends on market demand for your services, your profile quality, your responsiveness, and the competitiveness of your categories. We provide tools to maximize your visibility — profile completeness tracking, review request tools, content publishing, badges, and paid placement options — but lead volume will vary. Your analytics dashboard gives you full transparency into how your profile is performing so you can optimize accordingly.
How do I invite past clients to leave a review?
From your dashboard, navigate to the Reviews section where you’ll find review request tools. You can send email invitations to past clients with a unique review link. When a client receives the invitation, they can click the link and submit their review without needing to create a 50Pros account. Review invitations include a reminder system for clients who haven’t responded. All submitted reviews go through content moderation before being published on your profile.
