Why teams switch

Stop chasing leads everyone else has.

Permits are public. Almost nobody has time to read thousands of them. ContraX reads them for you.

  • Spend ad budget across ZIPs on a hunch
  • Find out a rival moved in after they win the work

With ContraX

  • See every new permit in your market, daily
  • Call addresses scored by how likely they are to buy
  • Put ad dollars into ZIPs ranked by real demand
  • Watch competitors’ permit volume and territory moves
