Maken Leads — lead generation for installation and trade businesses

We fill your calendar. You pay per delivered lead.

Under your own brand, we run the campaigns and an AI advisor that talks to visitors 24/7. Every lead is verified, graded from 0 to 10 and delivered exclusively to you — with the full conversation included.

How it works

Your brand on the advice page, our ad budget behind it — one machine in between.

01

Request

A visitor lands on your own advice page — our campaigns, our budget. A check of about five questions ends in an honest, instant savings calculation.

02

Verified

Mobile numbers are confirmed with an SMS code as standard, fake numbers are filtered, and consent to call is recorded per lead.

03

Graded

The AI advisor talks with the visitor 24/7, on your own offer and prices. Then AI reads back the entire conversation: a grade from 0 to 10, with a note for your first call.

04

Delivered

Only leads above your own grade floor reach you — exclusively. Priced by grade, deducted from your credit, in your portal within minutes.

Every lead gets a grade

AI reads the full conversation and gives a grade from 0 to 10 — the grade sets the price, and the transcript lets you verify it yourself.

Where graded leads landillustrative

Most delivered leads land on 6–7; the dashed line is your grade floor (here: 6). Everything left of it stays out.

9–10
An appointment is set
The visitor scheduled a phone appointment or home visit themselves.
7–8
Clear interest
A real conversation with a clear buying signal. Call today.
6
A real conversation
Engaged and talking — but without a clear direction yet.
5
The bare check
Check completed; no real conversation, or an unresolved objection.
0–4
Never billable
Dropped off, declined, or the number was never confirmed.

The grade is an AI indication, not a guarantee — which is exactly why every lead comes with the full conversation.

“Wants a call back after 17:00 — asked twice about the payback period.”

Delivered exclusively · €21 from your creditDelivered

You know what they want before you call

This is the difference with a form: every delivered lead comes with the full conversation.

No form. A conversation.

The AI advisor talks with every visitor — on your offer, your prices, your tone — and answers questions 24/7. What they asked, what they hesitated about, when they want to be called: it is all in the transcript, readable before you call.

  • A cleaned-up transcript with every delivered lead
  • An AI note on top — your cheat sheet for the first call
  • An appointment is only offered on a clear buying signal
Transcript · excerptlive example
You use around 4,100 kWh a year. With net metering ending in 2027, a home battery becomes interesting — around €680 in savings per year.
Roughly what does a battery like that cost?
For your situation, between €4,800 and €6,200, with a payback period of around 7 years. Shall I schedule a phone appointment for you?
Yes — preferably after 17:00.

You set the grade floor

Choose the grade floor you want to receive. Below your floor: never delivered, never billed.

Grade floor
Real conversations only.
Share of supply you receive
69%
Indicative price per delivered lead
€15 – €60

One published rate card, the same for every business. A lead graded 6 never costs more than €15.

Below your floor
Never delivered. Never billed.

Requests below your floor go into warming up. If someone returns and books an appointment, it becomes a delivered lead at that moment — and only then do you pay.

Why businesses switch

The classic lead platform, next to our model.

A classic lead platform

  • The same lead sold to 3–4 businesses at once
  • A filled-in form — no context, no intent
  • Prices negotiated per client, paid upfront
  • An annual contract before the first lead arrives

Maken Leads

  • Every lead goes to exactly one business
  • The full conversation included, graded 0–10
  • One published rate card — the grade sets the price
  • No contract: prepaid credit, cancel any week

Delivered where you work

Portal, email, sheet — or straight into your own systems. Signed, with retries.

Questions, answered honestly

“The honest answers, before the sales call.”

Is the lead really mine alone?+

Yes — every delivered lead goes to exactly one business. That is different from most platforms, where the same request is sold to three or four businesses at once. Exclusivity applies per lead; we deliberately do not promise regional exclusivity.

What if a lead is wrong?+

File a dispute from the portal within 10 working days — wrong number, unreachable, duplicate, outside your service area. Approved disputes are automatically returned to your credit, and the lead stays visible as credited.

Do I pay for weak leads?+

No. Leads below your own grade floor are never delivered and never billed — they go into a warming-up track. And a grade of 3 or lower is billable for no one.

Am I locked into anything?+

No annual contract, no setup fees, no minimum. You run on prepaid credit that never expires and is refundable, and you can stop any week. The ad budget is ours, not yours.

Is the grade guaranteed?+

The grade is an AI indication, not a guarantee. That is exactly why every delivered lead comes with the full conversation — you read back what was said yourself. And if something is genuinely wrong, there is the dispute.

How fast do leads come in?+

Within minutes of a booked appointment, and otherwise usually within 10 to 20 minutes — in your portal, your email, your sheet or straight into your CRM.
