If you use it, a specialist matches your profile to your Google profile, and from Essentials up keeps it matched. ## FAQs ### Do I pay for HomeAdvisor leads I don't win? Yes. HomeAdvisor says you're charged for each lead you receive, whether or not you win the job. ### Does HomeAdvisor check my licence? No. Its screening page says it runs background checks on owners but doesn't confirm licensing. ### Is HomeAdvisor the same as Angi? Angi owns it, and sign-up now lands on Angi Pro. Angi is moving toward a single platform. ## Sources 1. [HomeAdvisor: How it works for pros](https://www.homeadvisor.com/pro/how-it-works/), checked Oct 31, 2026 2.
