Limited availability

why does my profile show that I have “limited availability”? I haven’t blocked any time off, and I have my availability set to ‘any time’, seven days a week. I don’t have my Google calendar connected to thumbtack either.

  • The calendar doesn't work. My business is closed on Sundays. Thumbtack will allow users to request service on Sunday from my business. Most expect same-day service at that. FRFR, any quality professional besides an electrician or a plumber will not show up on the same day. I have bookings through November of this year. I can always get you on my schedule within a week, but not today.

    A recent headache was a user who thought I would show up on Sunday, even though I had all but Friday blocked off. I managed to find time to shoe horn her into Monday and when I was 10 minutes away, she told me someone else helped her already. Every day she had specified was blocked off.

    As a former web developer, calendaring is a pretty simple function.

    My only work-around is to "Hide my business" when I go to bed Saturday night and turn it on when I wake up Monday morning.

    @RuffTimes this could be due to you being almost at your weekly budget limit, as once you hit that you won't show up in search results anymore. I might try playing around with that (maybe adding just a few dollars) to see if that helps.
