Common Pain Points

Why People Leave Thumbtack

01

Shared Leads Are a Race to the Bottom

Same shared lead problem as Angi/HomeAdvisor. You pay per lead, competitors get the same lead, lowest bidder wins. Race to the bottom pricing. BrickByClick generates organic exclusive leads through SEO.

02

Price Is Your Only Differentiator

You're competing on Thumbtack's platform where the only differentiator is price. There's no brand building, no authority, no long-term asset. BrickByClick builds your own web presence that compounds.

03

Lead Costs Keep Increasing

Lead costs keep increasing. Thumbtack raises prices as demand grows in your area. With SEO, your cost per lead decreases over time as rankings improve.

04

No AI, No Automation, No Follow-up

No AI, no automation, no follow-up. You get a lead notification and have to manually respond fast enough to beat competitors. BrickByClick's AI responds in under 1 second, 24/7.
