What Thumbtack Pro is and who it fits
Thumbtack Pro is a pay-per-lead marketplace: marketplace that sells the same lead to several pros at once. You. Thumbtack surfaces the lead; you do the site, the follow-up, and the close yourself, competing against 4 to 5 other pros on the same lead. Filling gaps in a slow week without any fixed monthly cost, and it's the wrong tool for building an owned asset (a website, an email list, a review base under your own domain).

Where Thumbtack Pro is the better fit

Not for building an owned asset (a website, an email list, a review base under your own domain). That part is what I sell instead.
