There isn't a single answer because every home is different. The right schedule depends on your household size, pets, kids, daily traffic, and how much cleaning you prefer to do yourself.

Here's a simple guide:

🏡 Weekly: Great for busy families, pet owners, and high-traffic homes that need consistent upkeep.

🧹 Biweekly: A popular choice for homeowners who want regular maintenance without weekly visits.

✨ Monthly: Works well for homes that stay fairly tidy and only need a routine refresh.

📅 One-Time: Ideal before or after guests, moving, holidays, or whenever your home needs a reset.

🧼 Deep Cleaning: If it's been a while since your last thorough cleaning, starting with a deep clean can make ongoing maintenance much easier.

I'm curious—what cleaning schedule works best for your home, and why? Have you found that weekly, biweekly, monthly, or occasional cleanings fit your lifestyle best? I'd love to hear what has worked for other homeowners.

Comment below with your best profile tips.

When a customer leads with, “How much is this going to cost?”, how do you usually respond?

Do you give a price right away, ask a few questions first, or focus on the value of your service before talking numbers?

I’d especially love to hear:
what you actually say back
how you stay upfront on pricing while still showing your value
what approach has helped you keep the conversation going and win the job

If you have a go-to response or strategy that works well, I’d really appreciate you sharing it. Hearing how pros handle this in real conversations is incredibly helpful.

I've been thinking about this since I watched the Thumbtack Numbers Q&A. I am not thrilled with this new numbers system, so I try to move to real phone numbers because that's how my workflow functions. But I get the concept of it.

Still, during that conversation, I heard much talk about lead quality and something dawned on me.

I've been thinking about this for a while and believe the biggest hindrance for good quality leads is the easy button they see when they do their searches. That "Get 3 quotes" button is the filter for bad leads.

Why? Because it's too easy. They never have to visit any of the profiles to find anything out about pros they're contacting. They are not invested. They haven't even made a single micro-decision about a pro. They probably just assume Thumbtack has done all the work and they don't actually need to do anything.

At least I don't think they need to visit the profiles or even have the option to after they answer their questions and enter their email. I haven't explored beyond the entering my email question to actually contact the pros, because I don't want anyone to get charged for the experiment.

If my suspicion is correct, then the leads that hit this button have very little skin in the game. They haven't done their research or due diligence to figure out who may be a good fit.

This to me seems like a problem, maybe a the "big" problem for lead quality. I wonder if Thumbtack tracks how many people contact pros on the platform, but don't actually hire a TT pro. And if so, how many of these actually used the easy button, or if they noticed a difference since implementing this "feature". I'd be interested to know.

So that's my 2 cents.

I never started a communication with a client. So, I'm confused now. The only option I have is to reply to a review.

Is it possible to remove it?

Thanks!
