PSA to all my small business owners that use Thumbtack- they just launched a pilot and AUTO-ENROLLED pros (without consent) to add themselves as a booking option on your FREE Google Business listing. So when a customer finds you and chooses to "book online", if they select Thumbtack on the following screen, Thumbtack gets to apply their standard lead fees for that instant book thru Thumbtack. There is an opt out form but it can take a week to update. 🙄🤔😠 is this even legal?!
