i am a gold member, please put icon. Lindy Walsh

Gold Member higher points than my competitor who is an elite member. How do I become one?

Elite members are the ones who rank #1 in a search for a particular service.

Your company has done a poor job of explaining this and it looks like you have several people awaiting an answer.

Also wondering. Thanx!

This is what I got from the Help Desk:

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch, and good question.

The elite providers are the ones who are listed on our 'landing pages' - you can see an example of a 'landing page' here: http://www.thumbtack.com/or/portland/house-cleaning/

Not everyone gets listed on a landing page. Whether we have a landing page for your area and profession is determined by a fairly complex algorithm developed by our engineers. That algorithm takes into account many things, including the number of other people in your profession and area, the population of nearby cities, how many Thumbtack points you and others have, and the amount of traffic Google has in your area.

It can take up to three months after you post for our engineers to determine whether you will be listed on a landing page.

If you are listed - we'll send you an email about that.

Sorry this is so confusing, and sorry there's not much you can do about it! We are also at the mercy of Google on this one. :-)

Thanks again!

I understand about the landing page, but why only 3 companies listed there?    In my profession of mold remediators there is dozens of companies listed in the regular search results.   Why not at least have 10 companies on the landing page for a given profession?    Makes us NOT want to list with Thumbtack.   The landing page is all that matters.
