Thumbtack Your Products and Services

September 7, 2011 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

There are many ways to get your products and services some visibility while hopefully increasing your consumer or client base. Some are costly, and some are free. Many services offer to get your business posted on the top search engines, usually for a fee. Most small businesses that have done a bit of marketing and advertising understand that every little bit helps.

Getting Started on Thumbtack

Thumbtack does not charge users for listing their site, products, and services on all of the major search engines. Missing potential customers that can be gathered from this free resource seems rather counterproductive.

To get started users will simply need to enter their businesses name, number, location, average cost, and account information. Users should also take care and time with their business description, as this is the pitch that will bring possible consumers.

Once completed, a quick click will lead to the opportunity to upload a business logo, or product picture.

Craigslist Posting and Other Promotions

Once you have activated your account, Thumbtack will take you to their Craigslist posting page. This will walk you through a few prompts and then submit your site to Craigslist as a business service. Users are then be offered the option of earning points by listing their Thumbtack URL on their website or blog.

The rest of the registration process involves earning a few points for providing feedback to Thumbtack site developers, as well as getting users familiar with other elements of their points systems. On Thumbtack, the higher the points are on the user’s account, the better coverage, higher positions they are getting on Thumbtacks service site, and therefore search engines.

To increase your points, as well as provide more information about the behind-the-scenes workings of your business, be sure to answer the questions Thumbtack poses to users. Providing these tips and tricks of your trade can help to build trust with your prospective customers.
