Moving leads: people asking for movers for a date and a place
Hodorak finds moving leads in public posts: people moving house or office who ask their town group for movers, a removalist or a man with a van, often with the date, the city and the size of the move. They ask on Facebook and Reddit, and Hodorak shows you the post itself, not a list of contacts you buy.

plus 11 sources from the table below
We measured the leads Hodorak would have shown from every valid source in a month, and a post seen in two sources is counted once. Max is that whole read; Starter and Pro are an average source times the sources each plan follows, so more sources bring more requests. Each range is 90 to 110 percent of that. Estimates, not promises.
Max follows up to 25 sources; this read found 16 valid ones, so its range uses those 16. The groups and searches of your own towns add to it.
These numbers cover every place we read; one area alone sees less: see Where we found leads.
How to get moving leads from people asking for movers now
Most moving company lead generation means paying before you talk to anyone: a shared lead that other movers also call, or an exclusive one that costs more. There is a route with no cost per lead. Every day someone with a lease ending or keys to hand back asks their town group for movers, often with the date and the address, and the mover who answers first with something useful is often the one they call.
This guide follows the page: where people ask, the phrases that find them, which posts to answer first, how to reply, and how it compares with buying moving leads.
Where we found leads
Three examples of areas where people asked. Hodorak works in any area where people post: add the groups, subreddits and searches of the towns you serve, and you may see more there than here.
| Area | Our estimate | Sources that carry them |
|---|---|---|
| Texas US-TX | We estimate about 110–130 a month in Texas |
|
| Australia AU | We estimate about 45–55 a month in Australia |
|
| United Kingdom GB | We estimate about 36–44 a month in United Kingdom |
|
| Any other area | Hodorak searches by keyword, so add the groups of the towns you serve; the area filter hides what is clearly outside. | |
These areas came up in our sources. They are examples, not a ranking of the country: we did not test every area.
Where to find local moving leads near you
The areas above are only where our sources happened to reach. People ask for movers wherever they live, so the local moving leads near you are in the places your own customers already talk:
- Town and neighbourhood groups on Facebook. In our read that meant groups like Broomfield CO Community, Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood and Things Happening in Leominster.
- Local noticeboards and recommendation groups, which is where UK and Australian moves showed up: Okehampton Information Hub, Evesham Noticeboard, Dubbo Recommendations.
- Local movers groups, where people post a job and wait for crews to answer. DFW MOVERS carried the most requests of any source we read.
- r/moving and r/relocating for long distance moving leads, where people plan a move to another state.
To find your town's groups, search Facebook for your town or county with words like community, noticeboard, recommendations or ask. Read a week of posts before you add one. A small group where someone asks for movers every week beats a big one full of ads.

Search phrases for moving company lead generation
People rarely write "moving leads". They write the move and the ask. These are the families worth adding, alone or with your town's name:
- Asking who to use: "moving company recommendation", "movers recommendations", "recommend a moving company".
- Looking now: "looking for a moving company", "looking for movers", "need movers".
- UK words: "removal company recommendations".
- Australian words: "removalist recommendations", "recommend a removalist".
Use the words of the country you work in: a UK customer asks for a removal company or a man and van, an Australian one for a removalist. A phrase with your town's name finds fewer posts, but almost all of them are yours to answer.
Real posts, as Hodorak shows them
Real public posts we collected when we measured this page, as Hodorak shows them. They are old by now, but people post requests like these every day. Phone numbers, e-mails, handles and full names are hidden, as in the app. Open a card to read the whole post.

Which mover leads to answer first
Not every request is worth the same. Answer in this order:
- A move with a date and a place: from Leominster to Clinton on a set day, a two-bedroom in Grand Prairie on Wednesday. They book the first mover who answers well.
- Someone whose movers let them down: a crew that did not show up, a company that broke their things. They need help today and they pay for it.
- A long distance or interstate move. One job is a big ticket, and these people compare a few companies before they book.
- A heavy or awkward item: an upright piano, two commercial fridges down a flight of steps. Few movers answer these, so a clear reply stands out.
- A short "any recommendations for movers?" with no detail. Ask the date, the size and the town.
Skip movers advertising, people looking for a room or a truck to rent, and someone who only wants friends to help for free. Hodorak leaves those out and marks each request with its level, so the first ones on your board are the ones to open.

The post
Need Efficient and Affordable Movers We are looking for movers to help us move from a 2-bed apartment on 2nd floor to a house 2 miles away in Grand Prairie on Wednesday, Nov 4th. You will need to bring truck, load, drive and unload. No need to pack and unpack stuff. Give me your best quote here or in DM.
Why it fits
wants quotes from movers for a dated 2-bed local move
Suggested reply, written by Hodorak; you edit and send it from your own account
A two-bedroom on the second floor to a house a couple of miles away is a straightforward local move, and we can bring the truck, load, drive and unload for you in Grand Prairie on Wednesday. To give you a real quote, can you tell me if there are stairs only or an elevator, the big pieces you have (beds, dressers, a couch, a washer), and what time you want to start?
What happens next
- Open the original post.

Reply from your own account
Answer their move first: what you would bring and what you need to know to quote it. Mention your company once, at the end.
How to turn moving company leads into booked jobs
The reply above shows the pattern. A good reply reads like a mover who knows the job, not like an ad:
- Answer within the hour if you can: many of these moves are this week, some are today, and the first useful answer sits near the top of the thread.
- Repeat their move back: the size, the floors, the distance, the date.
- Ask what you need to quote: stairs or elevator, the big pieces, packing or not, the start time.
- Mention your company once, at the end, and say where you work.
- Follow the group's rules on self-promotion, and move to a direct message only when the person asks.
Avoid a pasted ad, a link as the whole reply, or a price before you know the move. Those get skipped, and in many groups they get removed.
Buying leads vs Hodorak
Shared leads from lead vendors against public requests nobody sold. Vendor prices are as published on the day we read them.
| Where the lead comes from | Price | Exclusive? | Who else got it | When you learn about it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Network Leads (shared)read Nov 2, 2026 | $15 per local lead and $20 per interstate lead shared with up to 4 movers; $28 and $38 when shared with 2 | No, shared | Up to 3 other movers get the same lead (1 other on the 2-mover option) | Leads flow into your prepaid account once it is funded; the page does not give a delivery time per lead |
| Network Leads (exclusive)read Nov 2, 2026 | $45 per local lead, $85 per interstate lead; live call transfers $60 and $100 | Yes, the page says the lead goes only to you | No other mover, the page says | After the lead is verified by SMS and phone; the page does not give a delivery time per lead |
| Sirelo (UK removals)read Nov 2, 2026 | £11 to £14 per international removal lead; domestic leads are priced by demand and pickup area (not published) | No: the page says exclusivity is not part of the offer | Up to five removal companies, you included | In real time by email and in your dashboard, right after the request is verified |
| Hodorak | $20 to $100 a month, not per leadEGP 1,000 to EGP 5,000 a month, not per lead | Nobody sells it: it is a public post | Anyone who reads the post; you answer in the same thread | When Hodorak reads the post in a source you follow and judges that it fits: it shows on your board and comes to you by Telegram or email. |
Buy moving leads, exclusive moving leads or free public requests
The table above shows what lead companies publish today. The difference is not only the price:
- Shared leads: the same customer reaches several movers, and the fastest caller usually wins.
- Exclusive moving leads: nobody else gets that lead, and you pay a few times more for it.
- Free moving leads in public posts: nobody sells them. Anyone in the group can read them too, but you answer in the same conversation where the person asked, and they often give the date and the address up front.
Many moving companies use more than one. Bought leads fill a slow week; public posts bring a steady flow from the towns you serve. Searching the groups by hand is free and works, but it takes time every day; Hodorak does the reading and shows you only the requests that fit.
Choose the plan that fits your business
Start with a 7-day free trial on Starter or Pro. Every plan has the same features; choose the capacity that suits your sources and team.
A daily routine for getting moving leads
Moves follow the calendar: the end and the start of the month, school holidays, the summer season. A short routine keeps you in front of them:
- Morning: open the requests from the night and answer the ones for today and tomorrow first.
- Midday: answer the dated moves later in the month, and the people planning a long distance move.
- Once a week: look at which groups and searches brought jobs. Drop a source that brings only ads, and add the next town you serve.
Honestly, if most of your work comes from corporate relocations, real estate agents or contracts, public posts will be a small part of it. For families, renters and small offices moving across town, the people asking today are the easiest customers to reach.
Questions about this use case
Short answers about the requests, the sources and how you reply.
Is Hodorak a list of moving leads I buy?
No. Hodorak does not sell contacts or charge per lead. It shows you public posts from people asking now for movers, with a link to the original post, so you answer in the same conversation. Nobody sold that lead to you or to another mover, but anyone in the group can read it too, so a quick, useful reply matters.
How do I get moving leads without buying them?
Follow the places where people ask for movers. In our read, the Facebook searches "looking for a moving company", "moving company recommendation" and "need movers" carried the most requests, with a local movers group in Dallas and Fort Worth, town noticeboards and community groups after them. Answer the move first, mention your company once, and follow each group's rules.
How many moving company leads would I see?
We estimate about 57 to 70 leads a month on Starter with 3 sources, about 190 to 230 on Pro with 10, and about 480 to 580 on Max with the 16 valid sources we found: estimates, not promises. The groups of your own towns, the moves you take and the season change it.
Can I find moving leads near me?
Yes, if people in your towns ask in public. Add your town and county groups, local noticeboards, the city subreddit and searches with your town's name. Hodorak reads them, and the area filter hides posts that are clearly outside the places you serve.
Are there free moving leads?
The posts are public, so you can search for them by hand every day for free. Hodorak does the reading and shows only the posts that fit your company, with the reason. Free leads by hand cost hours; Starter and Pro start with a free trial.
Are these exclusive moving leads?
No. A public post can be answered by anyone who reads it, so other movers may reply too. What you get is the person's own words, the date and the place, often before they have asked anyone else. A clear first answer is often enough to be the one they call for a quote.
Do long distance and interstate moves show up?
Yes. In our read people asked for interstate removalists between Australian cities, a cross-country shipment from California to Maryland, and an interstate moving company from a Texas group. Add searches like "interstate movers" or "long distance movers" if you take those jobs, and keep your local searches for the rest.
Does Hodorak reply or post for me?
No. Hodorak never posts, comments or messages for you. It finds the request and suggests a reply; you open the original post and answer from your own account.
How we measured

- Oct 29, 2026 – Nov 1, 2026 (UTC), up to 3 days per source
- Posts read
- 3,940
- Sources

- Per platform
- Facebook 14 sources, 2,864 posts
- Reddit 2 sources, 583 posts
- X 0 sources, 162 posts
- LinkedIn 0 sources, 477 posts
- What counts as a request
- A person, family, tenant or business that is moving home or office and asks who to hire: a recommendation for movers, a removalist or a man with a van, a dated move looking for a crew, a quote, or a quote they already hold and want to beat. Moves of any size count, from one heavy item to a long distance or interstate move, and loading crews for a rented truck. Someone whose booked movers let them down and who wants another counts too.
- Left out
- Moving companies and drivers advertising, reviews and scam warnings about a past move, moves done only with a rented truck and friends, questions about the new city, housing or jobs, recruiting movers or drivers, selling furniture or boxes, and storage, junk removal or car shipping on their own.
- How posts were judged
- By hand, against the written definition above, with a sample of the posts the cue filter left out checked for missed requests. Sample: 425 posts outside the filter, with 2 requests among them.
- Coverage
- Every valid group, subreddit and search was read back to the start of the window. Facebook search shows only part of the posts, so the Facebook numbers are a floor. The same request is sometimes posted in more than one group or search; each copy counts in its own row, and once in the totals.
