Comparing Our Four Lead Programs

Quick Answer

Heritage Web offers four distinct lead programs through its network of 300+ publications, all of which require at least one approved listing (profile, organization, job, or event) to receive matches.

  1. Paid Leads ($29-$395 per lead) provide instant access to pre-qualified clients with no contracts.

  2. Pro Bono offers free community service opportunities with 3 contacts per month for free users with approved listings, or unlimited access for $25/month.

  3. Real Estate Referrals operate on a commission-only basis (25-35% of the agent's commission paid to Heritage Web Realty LLC at closing) for approved agents.

  4. Custom Enterprise Partnerships provide tailored solutions for organizations, including bulk listing management and optional custom portal development.

Getting Started: Listing Requirements

All Programs Require Approved Listings

Before receiving any leads, you must:

  1. Create a Heritage Web account

  2. Submit at least one listing for approval:

    • Profile Listing: Your professional/personal listing (one per account)

    • Organization Listing: Business or nonprofit (multiple allowed)

    • Job Listing: Employment opportunities (multiple allowed)

    • Event Listing: Conferences, workshops, events (multiple allowed)

  3. Wait for approval (1 business day for sponsors, 2-3 days for free listings)

  4. Once approved, leads will begin matching to your listing(s)

Listing-to-Lead Matching

  • Profile Listings: Receive professional service requests

  • Organization Listings: Receive business service inquiries

  • Job Listings: Receive applications and candidate interests

  • Event Listings: Receive attendee and sponsor inquiries

Paid Leads Program

How It Works

After your listing is approved, purchase pre-qualified client leads individually as they match your profile. Each lead includes complete contact information and is sold exclusively to one buyer. Leads are manually reviewed within 24 hours using third-party verification tools.

Purchase Methods

  • Email Purchase: Click link in notification β†’ Stripe checkout β†’ Contact info via email

  • Dashboard Purchase: Click in dashboard β†’ Pop-up payment β†’ Instant access

Key Benefits

  • No upfront costs or subscriptions

  • Pay only for leads you want

  • 7-day quality guarantee

  • Instant access to contact details

  • Works for any listing type

  • Two convenient purchase methods

Ideal For

  • Professionals (lawyers, doctors, therapists, accountants)

  • Businesses and organizations

  • Event organizers seeking attendees/sponsors

  • Anyone wanting control over lead costs

  • Job posters seeking qualified candidates

Listing Requirements

Any approved listing type can receive paid leads based on the listing's specifications (industry, location, language, specialties). Leads prioritize the exact publication matches, then network-wide.

Pro Bono Program

How It Works

Browse unlimited pro bono opportunities after your listing is approved. Free accounts with approved listings can access up to 3 client contacts per month, while sponsors receive unlimited access for $25/month or with any sponsor listing. Without an approved listing, you can browse but cannot access contact information.

Key Benefits

  • Fulfill professional obligations

  • Build reputation and experience

  • Generate goodwill referrals

  • Track hours and impact

  • Bar compliance reporting

Ideal For

  • Lawyers meeting pro bono requirements

  • Healthcare providers offering free services

  • New professionals are gaining experience

  • Organizations with community service missions

  • Firms needing compliance tracking

Access Levels

  • No Approved Listing: Can browse only, no contact access

  • Free with Approved Listing: 3 contacts per month

  • Sponsor or $25/month: Unlimited contacts

Listing Requirements

Typically requires a professional profile or organization listing with relevant credentials and specialties.

Real Estate Referral Program

How It Works

Receive pre-qualified buyer and seller leads at no upfront cost through a custom-managed program. Pay a referral fee (25-35% of your commission) to Heritage Web Realty LLC only after a successful closing. Requires separate application and manual signup or invitation - this is not a self-service program.

Program Structure

  • Custom Solution: No dashboard, managed directly

  • Application Process: Manual review and approval

  • Agreement Required: Custom terms and commission structure

  • Payment: Percentage of agent commission at closing

Key Benefits

  • Zero upfront investment

  • Pay only on success

  • High-intent leads

  • Performance-based model

  • Established program with proven success

Ideal For

  • Licensed real estate agents

  • Established agents seeking growth

  • Agents are comfortable with commission splits

  • Those preferring risk-free leads

Special Requirements

  • Must have an active real estate license

  • Create an agent profile with license information

  • Pass the application review process

  • Sign a custom agreement

  • Meet ongoing performance standards

Custom Enterprise Partnerships

Multiple Listings & Programs

Using Multiple Listing Types

  • One account can have a profile + multiple organizations + jobs + events

  • All paid and pro bono leads appear in unified dashboards

  • Real Estate operates separately with a custom process

  • Sponsor status on ANY listing provides account-wide benefits

  • Priority matching goes to sponsor listings first

Publication Matching

  • Primary: Leads prioritize professionals on the same publication

  • Secondary: Network-wide matching when not exclusive

  • Benefit: More publications = more opportunities

Important Notes

  • No leads appear until at least one listing is approved

  • Approval takes 1-3 business days, depending on sponsor status

  • Sponsor benefits apply account-wide across programs (except Real Estate)

  • Real Estate requires a separate application and agreement workflow

  • Enterprise partnerships need custom agreements and bulk setup

  • Default referral radius is 75 miles (adjustable via [email protected])

  • All leads undergo a 24-hour manual review with third-party verification

  • Languages spoken by team members expand matching opportunities

FAQs

Q: Do I need separate listings for each program? A: No, one approved listing can receive leads from both Paid and Pro Bono programs. However, Real Estate requires a specific agent profile with license information and a separate application.

Q: How long before I start receiving leads? A: After listing approval (1-3 business days), you'll start receiving matched leads immediately as clients submit requests. Volume depends on your specialties, location, and radius settings.

Q: Can I use programs before my listing is approved? A: You can access dashboards and browse some features, but you won't receive any matched leads or access contact information until at least one listing is approved. Pro Bono browsing is available, but contacts require approval.

Q: What if my listing changes are pending? A: You'll continue receiving leads based on your current approved listing. Pending changes only affect matching after they're approved.

Q: Which listing type should I start with? A: Most individuals start with a profile listing. Businesses start with organization listings. You can add more listing types at any time to increase opportunities.

Q: How are enterprise team listings created? A: Organizations provide team information via a template, then Heritage Web manually creates and approves all listings within one week as part of the managed service.
