How can I get more leads for my security company?

I own a licensed and insured security company in Florida and I’m looking to generate more consistent, high-quality leads through Thumbtack. For those offering private security services, what has worked best for you? Are there specific settings, budgets, service categories, or strategies you recommend to increase lead volume and improve lead quality?

Welcome to the Community, @Ymelite03 ! 👋 Being licensed and insured is definitely worth making prominent on your profile, especially in security where trust and credibility can be an important part of a customer’s decision.

For lead quality, one thing we consistently hear from Top Pros is to keep your targeting specific to the work you actually want. Reviewing your service types, service area, targeting preferences, and budget regularly can help you focus on better-fit opportunities rather than simply trying to maximize volume. If pricing is available for your services, setting clear expectations there can also help customers determine whether you’re a good fit before reaching out.

Your Performance Dashboard is another useful place to review what’s working and make adjustments over time.
