Revalio and lead directories
Paying for leads? Revalio makes sure the ones you already get are answered and chased.
Checkatrade, MyBuilder, Rated People and the rest are built to send you enquiries, for a fee per lead or per month. Revalio is built for what happens after one lands: the same-day reply, the quote, and the chase when it goes quiet. That is where paid leads are most often lost, and it is the part the firm controls.
What lead directories does
- Send you enquiries from homeowners who searched for a trade
- A profile with reviews that people check before they ring
- A fee per lead, per shortlist, or per month
What it does not, and Revalio does
- Reply to the enquiry the same day, or notice when nobody has
- Chase the quote you sent after the visit
- Show you how many of the leads you paid for went quiet, and why
Using both
Keep whichever directory earns its fee. Point the inbox the leads land in at Revalio, so every enquiry is acknowledged while you are on site, every quote is chased before the homeowner picks someone else, and you can see, per lead, what happened next. Then judge the fee on what you converted, not what you were sent.
How Revalio works, whichever tools you keep
- Connect the inbox your enquiries land in. Gmail or Microsoft 365, read access to the folders you choose.
- Revalio watches every enquiry and quote and flags what has gone quiet, with the evidence from the thread.
- It drafts the reply or the chase; you approve with one tap. Anything with a price or a promise always waits for you.
- Approved messages go from your own address, and a monthly statement shows what came back.
Questions
- Is Revalio a cheaper way to get leads?
- No. Revalio does not find customers. It works on the enquiries you already have, from whichever source, and stops them going quiet.
- What do people who use lead directories say?
- Public app-store reviews of the trade apps for the big directories (read 14 October 2026, several hundred reviews) are dominated by three things: fees for leads that went nowhere, leads that turned out not to be real, and homeowners who never replied. The first and third are partly in the firm's hands: a lead that gets a reply within the hour and a chase after the quote converts far more often than one answered that evening. Revalio is built for that part.
- Can I see which leads converted?
- Yes. Each enquiry becomes a record with its thread, the quote, and whether it was won, lost or went quiet, so a month of paid leads can be judged on outcomes.
- Does it replace the directory?
- That is your call once you can see the numbers. Revalio works the same whether the enquiry came from a directory, your website, a referral or a repeat customer.
