Find a Lobbyist™ is a marketplace for representation. Businesses choose what they need and we match them to a lobbyist that has already done it. This page defines each figure and label that you'll encounter, in plain language — so you can weigh a profile without guessing.
The Lobby Score is an independent 0–100 rating of a lobbyist, built from three inputs: verified client reviews, confirmed outcomes on the work they've taken on, and industry reputation. It sits on every profile block so you can compare two lobbyists without decoding a résumé.
Scores are grouped into bands, and you can filter the directory by band:
The average monthly price a lobbyist has charged clients across the services they provide. It's a blended figure — a single number covering engagements of different sizes, scopes, and lengths.
Treat it as a range-finder, not a quote. Two clients paying the same lobbyist may be paying for very different work. For a specific breakdown, read the lobbyist's profile, where price history is listed by engagement.
The number of distinct clients a lobbyist has represented since Q1 2025, the point from which we began tracking engagements on the platform.
It is a measure of recent activity rather than career total — a lobbyist with thirty years of practice and a small current roster will show a low number here. Read it alongside years of experience, not instead of it.
A warm lead is inbound. The business found Find a Lobbyist™ while researching their own problem, described the objective they're trying to reach, and is weighing whether to hire representation at all.
They arrive earlier in the decision, which means more of the conversion is yours to do — and more of the relationship is yours to shape.
A hot lead is qualified, budgeted, and ready to engage. Many are sourced outbound by our own team after we identify a business with a live issue — a pending rule, a contract cycle, a permitting fight — and a clear reason to act now.
The difference from a warm lead isn't the quality of the business. It's how far along they already are.
Campaigns are sold in packs of 10 to 50 leads. Rather than charging a flat price per name, we charge a percentage of the campaign each lead produces — so the fee scales with the size of the work, not the size of the list.
In practice that runs roughly $300 to $1,000 per lead, depending on the campaign. There are no retainers and no listing fees.
When a lead is ready to talk, someone has to get the meeting on the calendar. For premium members that happens automatically and at no charge — it's built into the profile.
For standard members, our team sets the appointment by hand, and that carries a manual 2% charge on the campaign.
Find a Lobbyist™ is not an endorsement of a lobbyist, nor a guarantee of any lobbying effort. A profile appearing here, at any score, is not a recommendation by us and not a prediction of any outcome.
Find a Lobbyist™ is an informational platform only. We are not a party to, and assume no liability for, any agreement, engagement, or outcome between users and the lobbyists listed on this site. Terms, fees, and results are settled directly between you and the lobbyist you choose.
Nothing on this site — including the Lobbying Calculator — is legal or financial advice.
If something here doesn't answer it, write to us directly — a person reads every message.
