    Hello, I am noticing that new messages are often taking 20 minutes to come in as a notification through email, and sometimes won't come in at all. Is there a way to fix this? I have already attempted to toggle the notification …

    Export past leads
    hello, I’m only wanting to export the the phone number & name of my past leads. I don’t want to have to toggle back & forth on the app for each lead. Rather, export all of them at once. Thank you, Ruby Powell

    Why is this refund denied
    Customer posts in the structural engineering category, but when I speak to him, he's looking for a contractor. I'm not a contractor, so I shouldn't have to pay for this.

    Remove Direct Leads
    I'd like to remove the direct leads function and just receive the general leads that you pay ONLY if the prospect replies. The direct leads are not working out.

    Thumbtack for Non Home Based Services
    Now that Thumbtack is only focusing on home based services, are they going to spinoff the categories for non home based services into a new website and under a different name?

    Recent massive drop in rankings since the new year?
    I typically turn my leads on and off as I need them as I am a one man show and often will be too busy on a roofing project to handle incoming leads. I have 67 reviews, all 5 stars, and have been using Thumbtack for about two years. …
