Find the page for your tradeand your county.

The short answer

PayOnJobs runs the entire marketing operation for one trade business per 25-mile radius: the website, the Google Business Profile, the ads, a 24/7 AI receptionist that answers and books the call, the invoicing, and the social. It costs $0 upfront and no monthly fee; you fund your own ads, $1,500 a month minimum, paid to Google. We take 17 percent of revenue from jobs we book that your customer actually paid for, split through Stripe Connect at the moment of payment. Six trade and city pairs are live right now: HVAC, roofing, and tree removal, each across Greater Boston and Worcester County. Pick yours below.

One partner per trade per 25-mile radius. We will tell you on the next screen if your zip is open, and pre-fill your application either way.

Guides for owners, any city

Comparing agencies or buying leads? Start with these.

The city pages above cover local conditions. These guides cover the questions every trade owner asks no matter where the shop is: what a marketing agency should cost, what a bought lead really costs once close rates are counted, and how paying 17 percent on paid jobs compares with a retainer or a price per lead. Each one shows the search and cost-per-click data we measured, a side by side comparison table, and a plain statement of when PayOnJobs is the wrong choice.

Why these are six pages and not one

A Boston furnace call and a Worcester storm call are not the same business.

Most agencies write one page called "home services marketing in Massachusetts" and point every ad at it. That page cannot be specific about anything, because the moment it gets specific it stops being true for half the people reading it.

Take a homeowner inside Route 128 whose system has quit and whose replacement cannot happen this week. What the receptionist can say on the first call decides whether that job is yours. A homeowner who hears "soonest install is mid-July" and nothing else hangs up and calls somebody else. A homeowner who hears a reserved slot and a deposit option books.

Worcester County is a wider radius with fewer operators per square mile and demand that spikes hard after weather. The marketing problem there is less about competing for a crowded search result and more about being the one shop that answers the phone on the Saturday after a storm, when every competitor has sent the call to voicemail.

So each page is written for its own market, and each one carries its own exclusivity. The Boston roofing slot and the Worcester roofing slot are two different partners. Neither one is bidding against the other, and neither one is paying for the other's leads.

The offer is identical on all six

What every partner gets, whichever page you came in through.

We build the whole stack from scratch and we own the cost of building it. Website, Google Business Profile, ad accounts, the 24/7 AI receptionist on a tracked number, invoicing, Stripe Connect, review monitoring, and the social calendar. You set your own ad budget and you keep control of it. There is no setup fee and no retainer attached to any of it.

You can read the full component list on the services page, the build-and-launch sequence on how it works, and the exact mechanics of the 83/17 Stripe split on how the money flows. Nothing in the offer changes between cities. Only the market analysis does.

What changed in Massachusetts this year

The rebate rules moved, and a lot of quote templates did not.

On January 1, 2026, Mass Save removed every new residential and light commercial heat pump system with a global warming potential above 700, including systems using R-410A, from its Heat Pump Qualified Product List. If the equipment is off the list at the time of install, the homeowner does not get the rebate, and for a lot of Massachusetts jobs the rebate is the reason the job closes at all.

We wrote the whole thing up, including the two remaining exceptions and their deadlines, with the program pages sourced at the bottom so you can check us: Mass Save heat pump rebates in 2026. If you quote heat pumps in Massachusetts, that one is worth ten minutes.

Questions we get before the first call

Straight answers, before you spend a minute on the phone.

Which cities and trades does PayOnJobs currently cover?+

Six live trade and city pairs: HVAC, roofing, and tree removal, each in Greater Boston and in Worcester County. Every pair is exclusive, meaning one partner per trade per 25-mile radius, so the Boston roofing slot and the Worcester roofing slot are two separate partners and neither one competes with the other for the same call.

Why does PayOnJobs build a separate page for each trade and city instead of one page for Massachusetts?+

Because the marketing problems are genuinely different. A Boston HVAC operator is fighting an old-housing-stock emergency repair market with a permitting backlog. A Worcester County tree removal operator is fighting storm-driven demand spikes across a much wider service radius. Writing one page for both means writing a page that is accurate for neither, and it means competing for two different search intents with one document.

What does it cost to work with PayOnJobs in Boston or Worcester?+

Zero dollars upfront and no monthly fee. You fund your own ads, 1,500 dollars a month minimum, paid directly to Google. We take 17 percent of revenue from jobs we book that the customer actually paid for. If we book nothing in a month, the invoice for that month is zero. The split runs through Stripe Connect at the moment the customer pays, so there is no separate agency bill to settle.

Is my zip code still open?+

Territory is claimed one trade at a time, so the answer depends on the exact trade and radius. Run the zip check on any of the pages below and you get a straight yes or no. If the slot is taken you go on the waitlist and you owe nothing for the conversation.

Does PayOnJobs cover trades outside HVAC, roofing, and tree removal?+

We build the stack for concrete and masonry, pool service, and pest control as well, but those verticals do not have dedicated city pages yet. If you run one of them in New England, apply anyway and say so; the offer and the 25-mile exclusivity are identical.
