Miscategorized Leads

I've been noticing a lot of miscategorized leads for Video Production lately. Most of these are for Videography but they are listed as Video Editing. I saw one yesterday where the job poster even said in the description "I don't need the editing, I just need to collect video footage.

I'm wondering if there is a way to catch these before they go live. Some sort of AI implementation?

When I type in "Video" in the search, the first three things that come up are Videographers, Video Production, and Video Editors. Maybe a simple (filming only), (filming and editing), and (editing footage/assets that you supply) to the right of each of those three options would help clarify what each means to the general public.

    Nine months later and this problem still exists. @DustiO Why doesn't Thumbtack fix this?

    I get multiple emails a day for "Video Editing" gigs that are actually "Video Production" gigs.

    How much money has Thumbtack lost because these jobs weren't categorized correctly?
