Anyone use Thumbtack for leads?

Just curious if anyone else here who shoots professionally uses Thumbtack.com for leads. While my main business is videography, I have also used Thumbtack for photo shoot leads. After buying a number of leads for both, I have never had one single follow up.

I use TT. Most of my business comes from there. Pricing is the challenge there because people won't always pay whet you think you're worth. I think there is a tendency for them to pick the lowest quote. In the passed 6 months I've booked 4 weddings on TT, and so far this year another 3. I also got a number of family shoots and portrait session from them. Get your TT home page set up with all your information on what you do. Get clients to write reviews for you. Make sure there is a link to your website. Here's what mine looks like. http://www.thumbtack.com/az/gilbert/wedding-photographers/photo-services

Hey there George. You definitely have done quite a bit of work to your profile there! Seems I need to do more on getting reviews most likely. Even thought I have good reviews on other platforms, I have none on Thumbtack thus far.
Some nice work there too btw.
Cheers!

I also use Gig Salad. The only other service I use that you might consider a lead service is WeDj. Originally just for DJs (surprise eh?) they now include photographers and videographers. They notify you of a potential lead, but they just drive the visitor to your website, unless the visitor opts to provide contact info. Annual fee only.
I experiment around with the rest of my promotional budget with sites like Partypop and Gig salad. Have had some definite success with advertising with them.

Thanx for your response. I have been toying around with the idea of using TT but wasn't sure. you obviously did your homework and from what I can see you use TT to direct people to your web site - am I correct?
