Money questions
Can a company pay to show up closer?
No. Distance is measured from the company's real base, and nobody can buy a different address or a wider service area.
Do sponsored companies get same-day priority?
No. A sponsored box is an ad. It says nothing about how fast a company answers or whether it can come today.
Why is the quote form free for me?
Some companies pay a fee when they receive your request. You pay nothing, and only the company you pick gets your details.
