Built In The Trades. Not In A Marketing Agency.
Get more jobs from Google, search engines and AI.
The Booked Solid System helps contractors across Ohio and the Midwest get found on Google, Bing, ChatGPT and other AI assistants, then books the jobs with missed-call text-back, reviews and follow-up. Set up and run for you, from Toledo, Ohio.
Plans from $97/month. $0 until your system is live. Website build included. See pricing
✓ Backend live in 3 days, website in 7 to 10
✓ 1-click revenue campaigns average $18K+ for most clients (see how)
✓ Average client stays 30+ months
✓ No contracts. No risk. Cancel anytime.
✓ Built by actual trade operators
Results shown are from specific clients and our own businesses. They aren't typical or guaranteed. Your results depend on your market, offer, pricing, sales process and effort. Details
Why The Hell Is The Website Free?
We know contractors are skeptical. You get pitched by marketing agencies 10 times a day promising the moon.
Here's the truth: we used to charge $3,997 for a 30+ page website that ranks and gets calls from Google. Now the build is free when you join the Booked Solid System. You pay your flat monthly plan, starting at $97, and nothing at all until your system is live. Monthly billing has a one-time $1,000 setup fee for onboarding (not the website), and we waive it when you pay quarterly or longer.
If the site doesn't make you money, you leave, and we lose. We're putting our own skin in the game.
We Only Win When You Win.

PART OF YOUR SYSTEM
Never Lose Another Lead to Voicemail
On a roof, under a sink or driving between jobs? Three tools work together so every call, text and form gets an answer in seconds, day or night.
AI Voice Agent
Picks up the phone when you can't. It answers questions about your services, qualifies the caller and books the estimate on your calendar, 24/7.
How it works →Missed-Call Text-Back
The moment a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a text from your business number, so they reply to you instead of dialing the next contractor.
How it works →Conversation AI
Carries the conversation by text, web chat and social messages: answers questions, collects the job details and books the appointment without you typing a word.
How it works →Real result: one client's lead response time went from 8+ hours to under 30 seconds. Read the case study

FAQ
Answers to the biggest contractor marketing questions
What does The Lead Venture actually do for contractors?
We help contractors get found, capture leads, follow up, book jobs, get reviews, and bring old customers back — all through one system, the Booked Solid System, instead of a pile of separate tools.
Do you work with roofing, landscaping, plumbing, and other trade businesses?
Yes. The Lead Venture helps contractors across local home service industries generate more qualified leads and convert more inbound calls into booked jobs.
How fast can a contractor get started?
Your backend system (CRM, missed-call text-back, review automation) is live in 3 days, and your first review or re-marketing campaign can go out the same week. Your custom website goes live in 7 to 10 days.
Is there a contract or long-term commitment?
No. The Lead Venture is designed to be low-risk and transparent, with simple pricing and no long-term lock-in required.
