How does Thumbtack work for service professionals?

Thumbtack is a user-friendly platform that connects service professionals with potential clients. First, professionals create a profile detailing their expertise, service offerings, and pricing. They can also showcase portfolios or past customer reviews. Then, professionals receive notifications about relevant customer requests in their local area. They can review the project details and decide whether to send a quote to the client. Quotes include personalized messages, pricing, and additional information. If chosen by the client, professionals can further discuss project details and arrange appointments through Thumbtack's secure messaging system. Thumbtack does not charge professionals for sending quotes; instead, they pay a small fee only when they receive a client's contact information. This model ensures that service professionals have control over their marketing costs and can focus on providing high-quality service to clients.
