Press Release
LeadValets named Lead Generation Agency of the Year, Missouri 2026
St. Louis | November 13, 2026
Business Circle has named LeadValets its Lead Generation Agency of the Year for Missouri in 2026. The winner listing singles out two parts of how we work. We take one exclusive partner per service area per industry, and the Search Authority Flywheel runs Google Business Profile, website and AI search visibility as one engine. Read the full press release.
What does “one partner per service area” mean?
We sign one HVAC company in a market and close the door to every other HVAC company in that area. Plumbers and electricians get the same deal.
If an agency ranks two competitors for the same searches on the same streets, it ends up choosing which one loses. We refuse that job. The rule sends paying business elsewhere every month, and in exchange every client works with an agency that has no reason to hold anything back.
Two AI lanes, one contractor
Ask Google’s AI who to call, and it can pull straight from Business Profiles. Ask ChatGPT or Perplexity, and they never see the profile. They put the answer together from websites, directories, review platforms and whatever else the open web says about you. A contractor who only works one lane disappears from the other.
The Flywheel lines up the Business Profile, website, reviews and citations so one contractor gets named on both sides.
The number we point to
STL Air Pros, a St. Louis HVAC company, went from about two calls a month to more than 111 in roughly eight months.
“An award is nice to hang on the wall,” said Jonathan Floyd, founder and president of LeadValets. “The phone is the scoreboard.”
Who runs LeadValets?
Jonathan Floyd founded LeadValets in St. Louis in 2018 after watching small businesses get poor service from marketing providers and no coaching in sales, marketing or operations. He brings more than 35 years in sales and marketing. LeadValets was also named a winner in Acquisition International’s 2026 LeadGen and Sales Performance Awards.
If you run an HVAC, plumbing or electrical company, request a deep audit and find out whether your service area is still open.
