Simple, and only when money moves.
Loclis makes money when a customer buys and a provider gets paid. Not before, and not from anyone hoping for work that never comes.

Questions people actually ask
- Does Loclis sell leads?
- No. Loclis has never sold a lead and does not intend to. A lead charges a business for the chance of work. Loclis charges a percentage of work that actually happened.
- What does it cost a provider to join?
- Nothing. Creating a Shop, listing services, appearing in Discover, appearing in Loclis Answers and participating in HomeCare are all free. Providers pay a 10% marketplace fee on completed sales.
- What does a customer pay?
- The service price set by the provider, plus a 5% Loclis platform and processing fee, with a $0.99 minimum. The full breakdown is shown at checkout before you pay.
- Can a provider pay to rank higher?
- No. Ranking is computed from verified reviews, completed jobs, verified credentials, response time and service-area coverage. The weights are published on every ranked page.
- How do referral credits work?
- A provider who refers a customer to any eligible Loclis service earns 7% of that transaction as provider credit, which is applied against their own marketplace fees. Customers who refer someone earn $20 in Loclis credit toward their own services.
- What happens when a job is refunded?
- Both fees are reversed proportionally. A fully refunded order nets Loclis nothing and costs the provider nothing.
