    We've lost our thumbtack leads completely in April. Literally zero leads within 3 months. We've tried to increase Max lead price, lower service fee, set up weekly budget with no limits etc. The best account in the area is showing at…

    How has your experience been with Thumbtack (Pro Support) when trying to get an issue rectified...
    Especially issues dealing with getting refunds for bogus or misrepresented leads...

    I'm new to Thumbtack and I've set my Max leads for each service, but I'm getting charged double what my maximum is. I don't understand why. Can anyone help? They say Exact Match. This is extra frustrating because none of the leads h…

    Not getting anymore leads the way I would get
    Seems Thumbtack Pro has slowed down for me over the past few months. I would get a great number of leads and jobs but now it has dwindled down significantly. I have done everything required by Thumbtack Pro, I have great ratings and…

    Why does the lead cost more than the job?!
    Curious how thumbtack comes up with prices honestly. I am an electrician and charge $75 to install an outdoor coach light. It takes 10 min or less. I find it difficult to charge more than that and so does the customer when it’s a 10…

    Instant bookings update hurting my business
    This hurts us! The forced instant bookings are priced higher then the job. I was told to lower my competitive settings. I've never been charged so much for a lead. This is disappointing to say the least.
