sharkeHave you gotten any business from Thumbtack? I have my doubts about it. It's a great idea in theory, but in practice they send me a lot of inquiries that either don't sound genuine or are way out of the service area I specified. I did get one small job off of it though.
I literally just joined today. We'll see.
I've read a lot of comments from people who are convicted that half the leads it sends are made up. You buy credits and I think it costs you 2 credits to send quotes. However, sometimes Thumbtack refunds credits if you didn't get the job. I don't think they've done that all the time with me though. One thing I've noticed is that I get far fewer replies to my quotes than I get when people use my website form to send inquiries. Whether that's because Thumbtack is a scam, or because Thumbtack attracts a different kind of customer, I have no idea. However, the one job I did get from it more than paid for all of the credits I've ever bought from them, so I'm up in total.
