Just Listed My Company On Thumbtack....it was so easy!

I've been gathering up every website imaginable from so many of my friends here at AR and put them in a file to check out later. Well, fast forward a year later and I'm now getting to that file. The first one is thumbtack.com.

Thumbtack.comwill list your business for free and also handle your craigslisting. Every 10 days they'll send me an email to update the craigslisting....that's one less listing I have to do..... (actually, I've never advertised on craigslist). Anybody post to craigslist? I'd like to hear your experiences.

You can find my home inspection service on thumbtack, and while you're there, sign up. It took me all of about 15 minutes.

Now.... on to tackle the other 99 ideas gathering dust in my AR file.

Thanks everyone for all your help and advice!

I just checked them out. Great information. I have posted on craigslist before but got more spam than anything else.

Jay, our office posts our listings on craigslist and links it to one of the office websites. When someone clicks on the link that is your listing the lead goes directly to the person who has the listing. We have gotten several leads off of craigslist, I would recommend it. --Krystal

Hi Hella, I'm excited about these other little niche sites to promote my business. Best of luck to you with thumbtack!

Hi Gerard, I was worried about spam with craigslist. I'm very hopeful thumbtack will help me googlejuice my business :)

Hi Krystal, Wow!! Now that's a great idea. I look to craigslist to sell and buy. I just hope I don't get a bunch of spam. has that been an issue for you?

I'll have to check it out, Jay.

I've posted on Craigslist before, but found it to be a real PITA. Lots of spam, people wanting inspections for free, etc.

Hi Jason, That's what I thought. To date, I haven't gotten a single phone call from the listing.

Hi Gene, It is super easy and just another way to spread the word... and free!

Just started researching this today for my brokerage in Boise, Idaho and found your blog. I do post a lot on Craigslist and recommend it. You will get a lot of spam so I suggest setting it up with an anonymous email address instead of your real one.
