For software vendors

Reach service-business buyers at the moment of decision.

StackMatch is the independent editorial buyer's-guide for pool, cleaning, and landscaping software operators. Featured placements, qualified-lead delivery, and content sponsorship — clearly disclosed, never moving editorial rankings.

Audience

Who reads StackMatch.

Service-business operators at the buying moment — typically owners and operations managers researching their first platform, or switching after outgrowing the current one. We're focused on commercial-intent comparison content rather than top-of-funnel education. Each visitor is mid-decision and frequently reading multiple vendor profiles in one session.

Three ways to partner

Tier 1

Featured Listing

$297 / month (billed annually)

  • "Editor's Pick" badge on your vendor card across the site
  • Top placement on relevant use-case pages where you fit the recommendation
  • Pinned row position on the comparison grid
  • Monthly traffic + click report
  • Quarterly editorial check-in to confirm pricing + feature data

Editorial rating and written analysis are not affected. Featured status is visually distinct and disclosed.

Tier 2

Qualified-lead delivery

$75-150 per qualified lead

  • Direct lead handoff (form submission with operator profile)
  • Pre-qualified by operation size and trade focus
  • No vendor brand presence requirement on StackMatch
  • Useful for vendors without affiliate programs (Skimmer, Pool Brain, ServiceTitan)
  • Pay-per-lead — no monthly commitment

Lead pricing varies by operation size and ACV match. Volume tiers available.

Tier 3

Content sponsorship

Custom

  • Sponsored research piece on your industry segment
  • Co-authored buyer's guide for adjacent verticals
  • Annual "State of [category] software" report
  • Newsletter sponsorship in our editorial sequence
  • Always clearly marked as sponsored content

Editorial control remains with StackMatch. We will not publish vendor-supplied claims without verification.

Why partner with StackMatch over alternatives

Two specific reasons:

  1. The audience is commercial-intent and pre-qualified. Compared to broad SaaS comparison sites (G2, Capterra, Software Advice), StackMatch readers are operators researching one vertical at a time, with shorter sales cycles. They're not browsing 47 categories; they're picking between 3-5 specific platforms.
  2. Editorial integrity is enforceable. We publish our methodology in detail. Sponsorship cannot buy a different ranking. That's why the placement is worth what it is: readers know the editorial isn't compromised.

What about Featured Listings I see on other comparison sites?

Many comparison sites blur the line between editorial ranking and paid placement. We do the opposite — clearly marked, visually distinct, and explicitly disclosed in our methodology. If you've been burned by a placement that didn't disclose, that's the difference here.
