If you’re already a seasoned pro on Thumbtack, what is your best advice for making your profile standout to potential customers?

Best advice - don’t rely on the Thumbtack messaging, the messages rarely get read, and if you wait to long for a response from a text many times the customer has already spoken with someone else. I stopped texting clients ahead of time since we don’t know if the number is a cell or a landline it’s better to just call straight away.
