How to choose: buying criteria
1. Match agency to your vertical
Roofing: Hook. HVAC + plumbing: Blue Corona, Optix. Multi-vertical PE-backed: Scorpion.

Dangers and traps when selecting
1. Generic agency on specialized vertical
Generic agency on HVAC misses unit economics + lead-gen nuances.

3. Pay-per-lead quality
Lead quality varies. Test with small batch before scaling.
