Thumbtack for Professionals for Positive User Reviews

✓ I couldn’t have done it without ThumbtackI look at the reviews as I did when I first tested Thumbtack and I read stories like , I wasted time and money on Thumbtack and unless you have 200 reviews and seventy five hires you’ll just be spending money with no return. Those statements couldn’t be more wrong. I could only speak for myself when I first started using Thumbtack I didn’t know how to make the site work for me as well but I didn't give up just like any business you have to invest in advertising and have an angle that works for you. Through the tips they offer and seeing what other people have done in the past you put together a system in place that works for you. I’ve only been with Thumbtack for two years and yes I started with no reviews but I did what they told me I looked up old clients and asked them if they would write a review for me and as long as you did the right thing by that customer they were happy to so I sent them a link. Like I said it’s been two years and so far I have 28 reviews and twice that in hires. Not everyone likes to take the time and writes reviews but some do. I ask all my customers to , and so far it’s been 28 for me my rating is 4.8 out of 28 I’m happy with that. Nothing in this world just happens you have to always shoot for the stars and work hard for it..All in One HVAC GuyVersion: 93.0

✓ Very Expensive Leads 😡Thumbtack charges way too much money for leads!!! Customers can contact multiple businesses & thumbtack says it’s your responsibility to secure the job. On one occasion they charged me $120 for a $140 job because the customer said it was “recurring”. As business owners we understand that that’s not always the case. Sometimes people just want a cheaper price or whatever the reason, thumbtack shouldn’t be able to charge that much money. And if you’re lucky enough to manage to get a refund out of them by contacting support, it will only be refunded to your thumbtack account which they will continuously take money from. Yes it’s good for businesses just starting out, but be prepared for them to charge a heck of a lot of money just for leads and some jobs will not be within your preferences (out of your chosen area etc…). Also if you put a cap on the price of leads you limit yourself to getting your business out there. (To top it off you can’t write a review if you rate under 3-4 stars) I rather pay $300 to Yelp or Google than give Thumbtack any more of my money..SunnySide817Version: 276.0

✓ Homeowners: pros pay Hundreds $$$$ for just opening your messageI wish the homeowners would understand that the hard working professionals of thumbtack pay just so they can be clicked on. When I first joined thumbtack, my bids were charged only if I had an interested customer. Now it doesn’t matter if they are interested or not, interact with you or not, just because they clicked on your profile to contact you, you automatically get charged. Even tho thumbtack says you get 20% off the lead through promoting yourself, the same bid you are sending is normally $20. How is $75 20% off of a regular job? Honestly this is an unaffordable business model for the professionals. If thumbtack could just educate homeowners on the simple fact that: Professionals pay to bid on quoting you; although a homeowner is not required to hire, we ask that you are courteous and serious about hiring professional you are about to click on because pros spend money even if a homeowner is just “window shopping”. I am also a frequent thumbtack user on the homeowner side, and I am always extremely courteous about this. I don’t just click and ghost..Shushushyshy20Version: 109.4

✓ James MWell, let me begin by saying, like others, I too was about to get scammed by a heating and air company! I was told that my unit was too old and that anything manufactured over 20 years ago, the parts are impossible to find. My only option was to replace the entire unit that cost $5,000. I contacted Guardian and talked with Eveline. She was very courteous and explained their company’s policies, services and options for financing available to me. Richard Eppers was scheduled to come to my home and just as Eveline explained, Richard was very prompt on arriving. It only took him about twenty minutes before he had determined that, I did not need to replace my system, it only needed a condenser and coolant. The level of professionalism exhibited by Richard surpassed all I have ever experienced with the heating and air industry. Before Richard arrived the temperature in my home was 80 degrees and within an hour, I was enjoying the comfort of my home of 72 degrees. I can not begin to tell you how fortunate I was to contact Guardian. I know that eventually my unit, being 22 years old, will need to be replaced. When that time comes, I definitely will be using Guardian to replace the entire system. Trust me, Richard and Eveline are the very best in this industry. They definitely “save the day with Expert Service” for me and my family! I highly recommended Guardian for all of your heating, air, plumbing and electrical needs!.James7672Version: 118.0

✓ VERY expensive!! A lot of price shopping leads.Very expensive leads!they charge you a lot of money even if leads doesn’t turn into hiring . They also charge you for leads from customers who carelessly send out mass email to multiple pros just to check for pricing without customers even visiting the pros profile first- this mass email is the same model as the knot- but at least the knot doesn’t charge you price per lead! There was a time where I spent close to 1000$ and none of those leads turned into bookings because some of those leads are just price shopping leads or whatever they are. Being a top pro doesn’t really help either. They have this system where they reduce the price of leads if customers contacted multiple pros - it’s not that much reduced . For example - if your price is 1000$ a wedding - everytime a customer reach out to you (even if it’s just price shopping) you get charged around 50$ —- if for example 4 other pros were also contacted - your price of that leads still might be 35$-40$ ... and this same customer can still go ahead and continue sending out more leads later on. additionally , if you are going to use the app, be aware that customers who contacted you for a quote can also review you anytime before you even accept the job or complete any work for them! Overall - disappointed with how much money I spent on the app and it’s rate of conversion..520MnM_MyVersion: 147.1
