Building a Home Renovation Quote Marketplace: Lead Generation and Contractor Matching

Building a Home Renovation Quote Marketplace: Lead Generation and Contractor Matching The French home renovation market is fragmented. Thousands of small contractors, each with their own network. Homeowners desperately seeking an honest electrician. We built a platform that solves this: homeowners request quotes, contractors bid. Simple, effective, profitable. Here's the architecture behind it. The Business Model The market for renovation quotes is a lead generation B2B opportunity: Homeowner fills form: "I need an electrician for 3 new outlets" → lead generated Platform qualifies the lead (geography, budget, urgency) Contractors bid for access to the lead → sealed-bid auction Platform takes 15-20% commission Economics: 1 qualified lead = 50-200 EUR in value (depends on trade) 1,000 leads/month = 50k-200k EUR in commissions Architecture: Lead to Contract Phase 1: Lead Capture Minimalist form (3-4 questions max): <form> <input name= "trade" placeholder= "What's your need?" required /> <
