Is anyone else using Homestars? What has your experience been like?

I have been using Homestars and I must say, it has generated me a lot of calls. I would say it's bringing in about 80% of my business right now. I took a lot of time to perfect my profile and always ask for reviews and that has really paid off. A lot of people have said the reason they requested or hired me was because of my profile and reviews.

My only issue with them is tire kickers and dead leads. People who post a job then shortlist you and don't respond, shortlist multiple pros or people who are "just looking". I wish they had more of a guarantee or verification system. Also getting a refund used to be a lot easier, but they changed their system to make it harder.

Is anyone else using Homestars? Any tips or tricks on how to succeed better on there?

If anyone is interested in it but has questions, feel free to DM me or reply here for my advise also!

    We have not used it and because in Calgary the market is so saturated with cleaning companies we would have to spend a lot of money to be visible.  For us Google is 70-75% leads generator.  I find that I would get a lot of tire kickers.  Also Canadians are notorius for not being able to make a quick buying decision LOL.
