Priority & Highlighted Listings Get the Most Sales Leads.

70% to 80% of all sales leads go to Pre-Screened and Site Supporter listings. This is because these listings are highlighted and receive Top position (Supporter) or priority position (Priority Listed/Pre-screened) in our default listings.

About Pre-Screened Listings:

"Pre-Screened" listings are recognized by special insignia and priority listings.
To become Pre-screened you must meet our Pre-screening criteria. Therefore, the Pre-Screened listing is offered, by invitation only, to those companies which have met (and continue to meet) our Pre-screening criteria.
 

"Priority Listing" Service *

After you meet all Pre-Screening criteria, we will invite you further improve your listing by paying a nominal ($59) Pre-Screened "Priority Listing" service fee. This is optional, but much appreciated -- it helps cover some of our cost to support you. It's also an excellent value. "Priority Listings" appear above any non-paying pre-screened listings (i.e. default Find-A-Solar-Pro listing order).
 

Company Logo

Priority Listings and Site Supporter listings (below) include display of your company logo. This makes your company stand out.

About the Site Supporter Benefits Package:

You can gain the best position and visibility by becoming a Site Suporter. Benefits include:

Annual Site Supporter Fees:

Annual Supporter Fees vary by the number of listings we have within about a 70 mile radius of the zip code assigned to your master account ("main" Profile) -- the more listings, the higher the fee. This is commensurate with the size of the market. Current fees are shown below.

Support Early and Lock Yourself into Value: The Supporter fee is locked in for one year from the date your site support is received (we also offer a 6-month option). Our aim is to limit the number of site Supporter listings within a given zipcode search. So as the number of Supporters grows so does the Supporter fee. We want to reward you for supporting our work; this market-based approach to establishing Supporter fees should help preserve, and even increase, the value of your support after your support is received.

Current Site Supporter Fees *
Listings within ~ 70 miles Annual Semi-Annual
< 20 $100 $50
21 - 40 $150 $70
41 - 60 $200 $100
61 - 80 $250 $125
81 - 100 $300 $150
101 - 120 $350 $175
> 120 $400 $200

* - The fee shown above is for the first 10% of companies Supporting within a 70-mile zipcode search area (as deteremined by the Zipcode of your "main" profile). For example, if there are 20 listings for a given zipcode, the first 2 Supporters (10% of 20) receive Supporter benefits for the fee shown above. Thereafter, the Supporter fee will adjust in accordance to market conditions; our intent is to limit the number of Supporters to about 20% of listings within a given zipcode search. The Site Supporter benefits apply to all Profiles (sales branches) active in your account. However we reserve the right to adjust the Site Supporter fee if an account has a large number of Profiles and/or if some of the Profiles are in areas (zipcodes) that have higher Site Supporter fees than the "main" Profile.
