How we make money
The short version is the disclosure you'll see next to every quote button on this site:
Searching by ZIP and reading the guides here costs nothing. The Get Quotes button is the only path to an actual quote request, and it hands off to an outside matching partner, never to whichever specific pro you were looking at near your ZIP. That partner owes us a fee only if your request turns into work it can place; a listed pro owes us nothing, regardless of proximity, ZIP, or which of the two data sources its spot came from. Most ZIPs list businesses straight from a public license record; a city this site can't match to one yet shows a single ranked list from Google instead, with each name still carrying its own town and ZIP. Either way, the outfit a partner eventually connects you with might sit in a different ZIP than the one you searched.
We get paid exactly once in this process: when a matching partner turns your Get Quotes request into a lead it can act on. A pro's ZIP code, distance from you, or position in a group never involved a payment to us.
Nearby-city suggestions are based on actual distance between the two locations, not on which city has paid for placement, because none of them have.
The quote button
Pages with listings also carry a quote button. It opens a quote request run by our matching partners, not by the businesses listed on the page. When you ask for quotes through it, a partner may pay us. That is how we pay for running this site.
The partner decides which companies to match you with, so the companies that contact you may not be the ones listed on the page you came from. Before you hire anyone, check their license the same way you would check a listed business.
What it costs you
Using Shower Remodel Near Me costs homeowners nothing. You don't pay us for listings, lookups or quote requests.
What money doesn't change
- Listings come from state license records or, on top-rated lists, from Google Maps ratings. No business pays to be listed, to be left off, or for its position.
- License listings are sorted alphabetically. Top-rated lists are ranked only by Google rating and review count.
- There are no paid placements today. If we add any, they will be marked Sponsored.
- Verify license links go only to the state's license registry, never to a partner.
How to tell the links apart
Quote buttons always sit in a box with the disclosure above, and they are marked as sponsored links in the page code (rel="sponsored"). Every other outbound link on the site goes to an official license record, a business's Google Maps listing, or a source we cite.
