What Counts as Attributable Revenue

"Attributable Revenue" means revenue from customers who first contacted you via the website, Google Business Profile, or organic search results we manage. It does not include referrals from existing customers, leads from your own paid ads, leads from third-party platforms (HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, etc.), walk-ins, or direct calls to your personal line.

Tracking and Reporting

We track attribution using dedicated call tracking numbers, form submission logging, UTM parameters, and read-only access to your job management software. Revenue share calculations are provided monthly by the 10th of the following month. You have 5 business days to dispute any attribution before payment is due by the 25th.

Disputes

When attribution is genuinely unclear, we default to not attributing. Disputes are resolved by reviewing call recordings, form submission data, UTM parameters, and your own records. We never want you paying for leads that are not ours.

5. Intellectual Property

Your IP You retain ownership of your brand assets, logos, and existing content at all times.

Our IP Contractor Bear retains ownership of proprietary tools, templates, and methodologies used to deliver services.
