For contractors
Be the name a Plymouth homeowner already trusts.
I’m a local landlord. I got burned enough times hunting for honest contractors that I built the guide I wished I had — and mailed it to every homeowner in town. When their furnace quits or a pipe lets go, they don’t open a search engine and roll the dice. They open the drawer, and they call a name from the book.
There are exactly five names per category. One of them could be yours.
The audience
Who’s holding the book.
5,500
Owner-occupied homes
Every one gets the guide, free.
$121K
Median household income
People who pay to have it done right.
1970s
Typical build year
Aging housing stock that always needs work.
4×
Editions a year
In the drawer all year, not the recycling.
A quarterly glossy magazine that lives in the kitchen drawer — not a coupon book that hits the recycling on the way in from the mailbox.
The offer
Only five spots per category.
$100 a season.
First come, first served — just $100to hold your spot in the season’s edition. No per-lead fees, no bidding, no upsells. The guide mails four times a year, so you can run in every issue or only the seasons that matter to your trade. When a category fills, those four competitors are locked out of that edition — that exclusivity is the whole point.
What you get
What a listing includes.
One flat fee per season. Everything below, in every issue you’re in. We do the writing and the vetting so your spot reads like the recommendation a neighbor would give.
- 01
Your name, front and center
Company name and phone number, printed clean in your category — one of only five.
- 02
A “Why they’re here” blurb
A short, editorial line on why a homeowner should call you. We write it with you — it reads like a recommendation, because it is one.
- 03
Your credentials line
Licensed, insured, years in business, and vetted by us. The proof that you cleared the bar.
- 04
In print and in the mail
Your listing runs in that season's edition, mailed free to every household in the ZIP. Renew each season to stay in the drawer year-round.
- 05
Your profile on this website
When a homeowner looks you up online, you’re right here in the guide, verified.
The bar
What it takes to qualify.
This is the part that makes the book work. The bar isn’t red tape — it’s the reason a homeowner trusts every name inside. If you clear it, you’re exactly who they’re looking for.
Licensed where the trade requires it
We check. If your trade needs a Minnesota license, we verify the number before we print it.
Insured
Proof of liability insurance. You send it once; we keep it on file.
A track record we can check
Real finished work and references we can verify by hand — not a star average anyone can pad.
You answer Plymouth calls
Within one business day. The whole book falls apart if a name doesn’t pick up.
And once you’re in: three verified reader complaints in a year and you’re out of the next edition — no refunds. It keeps the bar honest, and it keeps your neighbors on the list worth being on.
See it before you pay
No mockups. No back-and-forth. You design it and watch it appear.
Every page looks like this — one clean house style, so the book reads like a trusted guide, not a pile of ads. The only thing that’s yoursis your logo and your words. Pick an open spot, drop them in, and your listing builds itself, exactly as it’ll print.

What you preview is what prints. No surprises.
