A qualified request is useful, consented, and inside your stated service fit
You should expect requests that identify the project type, location, timing, budget band, authority, and preferred contact method. You should not expect Placiva to promise job volume, close rates, provider quality claims, or exclusive control over general planning pages.
What counts as a qualified request
| Signal | What the request should include | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Project type | Stairlift, ramp, grab bar, bathroom safety, assessment, or mixed home safety scope. | You can tell quickly whether the work matches your services. |
| Location fit | City, state, ZIP when supplied, and any service-area note the visitor chooses to share. | You should not receive requests outside the area you agreed to consider. |
| Timing | Urgent, within 30 days, within 90 days, or planning only. | You can prioritize urgent work without treating every request as ready-to-buy. |
| Budget band | A broad budget range or a clear not-sure answer. | You can decide whether a first response is worthwhile without forcing a quote too early. |
| Decision role | Homeowner, family decision maker, or research-only status. | You can adjust your reply to the visitor’s decision stage. |
| Consent | The visitor must actively agree before Placiva saves or handles a provider request. | You get requests only when the visitor has seen the sharing language. |
How the early sponsorship works
Early slots stay focused so the page can match what you actually sell and where you actually serve.
Your placement is labeled as sponsored. Payment never means you are presented as best or verified.
Early pricing should stay monthly and cancellable until there is enough traffic and request quality data.
What you should expect
- You can request a service/location slot such as stairlift installation in Tampa or grab bar installation in Phoenix.
- You should be prepared to respond by email first unless the visitor has clearly allowed a phone reply.
- You should keep your own licensing, insurance, contract, quote, permit, and warranty representations accurate.
- You should tell Placiva when a request is clearly outside your service area or stated project type.
- You should expect early pilot reporting to focus on request count, broad project type, location fit, and obvious spam filtering.
What sponsorship does not give you
- No promise that a sponsor slot will produce a specific number of requests, sales, or appointments.
- No hidden ranking boost, best-provider claim, verified-provider label, or endorsement claim.
- No broad resale of the same request to unrelated providers without the visitor seeing the consent language.
- No phone or SMS automation in the MVP.
- No access to private records, admin routes, analytics internals, or visitor data beyond a consented request you are eligible to receive.
Before you request a slot
Can I sponsor a full state or every service?
Not in the early pilot. A focused service/location slot keeps visitor expectations clearer and makes request quality easier to review.
Do I pay only for closed jobs?
The preferred early model is monthly page sponsorship, not a closed-job commission. Qualified lead fees can be reviewed later only after the legal and operational rules are clearer.
Will my listing say I am verified?
No. Verification is reserved for a future documented process. A sponsored label only means you pay for placement or visibility.
What happens if a request is obviously spam or outside the slot?
The pilot should treat spam, duplicate junk, and clearly out-of-scope requests separately from useful request counts.
