Thumbtack Virtual Assistant

Thumbtack Virtual Assistant Services for HVAC and Plumbing Contractors

Thumbtack works less like a lead list and more like a storefront. A homeowner with a noisy furnace or a running toilet types in the job, then sees local pros side by side, each with a price estimate, a star rating, a response time, and photos. They usually hire the pro who makes the decision easiest.

That means HVAC and plumbing contractors on Thumbtack are judged on details that change every day: how fast you answer, how clear your pricing is, how fresh your reviews look, and whether your settings match the work you want. A dedicated Thumbtack Virtual Assistant keeps all of that in shape.

Intelus Agency connects contractors with carefully selected remote professionals who work during your business hours and follow your existing procedures.

Intelus Agency is an independent virtual assistant provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Thumbtack. Our virtual assistants do not change prices, budgets, or billing without your approval, and they never write, buy, or reward reviews.

Thumbtack Leads Response, Hour by Hour

Most Thumbtack Leads are won or lost in the first day. Your assistant follows a routine built around that window so homeowners hear from you before they hear from anyone else.

Support includes:

• Reading the homeowner's answers as soon as a new lead arrives
• Replying inside Thumbtack within minutes with a short, friendly message
• Asking one or two key questions, such as water heater age or whether the AC blows warm air
• Sharing a clear price or range from your approved pricing
• Offering real openings from your schedule when the homeowner is ready
• Sending a polite follow-up when a homeowner goes quiet
• Giving one last check-in to homeowners still comparing pros
• Closing out leads that are clearly gone so your inbox stays clean

Our client communication specialists bring the same quick, clear tone to every customer conversation your company has.

Thumbtack Opportunities Screening

Thumbtack Opportunities are charged only if the homeowner responds to you, so they call for a different approach than direct leads. Choosing the right ones keeps your spend focused on work your crews can take.

Our services include:

• Handling direct leads first, since those are already paid for
• Reviewing each Opportunity against rules you agree on together
• Checking job type, location, and how full your schedule is
• Skipping Opportunities outside your service area or skill set
• Sending a tailored first message to the ones worth pursuing
• Tracking which Opportunities turn into booked jobs
• Adjusting screening rules as your schedule fills up
• Sharing a monthly summary of Opportunities pursued and won

This keeps you from paying for conversations that were never likely to turn into work.

Thumbtack Ads Budget and Spend Tracking

Thumbtack works like pay-per-lead advertising, which is why many owners search for Thumbtack Ads. Leads that match your targeting are charged automatically, up to the weekly budget you set.

Responsibilities include:

• Watching weekly spend against the budget you set
• Alerting you when the budget is close to running out
• Keeping a running log of every lead charge
• Noting which job types use the most budget
• Comparing spend from week to week and season to season
• Preparing budget change ideas for your approval
• Flagging weeks when spend rises but bookings do not
• Matching spend records to your marketing budget

Every budget decision stays with you. Your assistant makes sure you always know where the money is going.

Thumbtack Refund Credit Tracking

Thumbtack Refund policies can return credits to your balance for certain leads, such as duplicates, mismatched jobs, or homeowners who never reply to any pro. Some of those protections depend on how quickly you respond and on keeping the conversation inside Thumbtack.

Support includes:

• Replying promptly so you stay eligible for refund protections
• Keeping homeowner conversations on the Thumbtack platform
• Documenting leads that may qualify for a refund
• Spotting duplicate requests from the same homeowner
• Noting jobs that did not match your settings
• Recording homeowners who never replied to any pro
• Logging every credit returned to your balance
• Making honest requests that follow Thumbtack's rules

A clear charge and credit log helps you see the true cost of every Thumbtack job.

Thumbtack Pricing for Pros

Thumbtack Pricing for Pros covers two things: the prices homeowners see on your profile and the lead prices you are willing to pay. Homeowners often see your price before they ever talk to you, so vague or outdated pricing makes them scroll past.

Our services include:

• Keeping diagnostic fees accurate on your profile
• Updating starting prices for common HVAC and plumbing jobs
• Building quote templates for drain cleaning, water heater swaps, and AC tune-ups
• Explaining what is and is not included in each price
• Flagging prices that look out of date compared to your invoices
• Preparing lead price notes for your review
• Making sure quotes match your approved price list
• Keeping a history of pricing changes

You set every service price and every lead price. Your assistant makes sure homeowners see your pricing clearly and that lead spend stays in line with your goals.

Thumbtack Pro Account Settings

Your Thumbtack Pro settings decide which jobs you see and how far you travel. Settings that match your real business keep you from paying for work you do not want.

Responsibilities include:

• Reviewing the job types turned on in your account

• Setting travel distance to match where your trucks go
• Keeping business hours and availability up to date

Clean settings in your Thumbtack Pro account mean fewer wasted leads and more jobs your crews can actually take.

Thumbtack Reviews Requests and Replies

Thumbtack Reviews sit right next to your price when homeowners compare pros, so a few fresh reviews can change who gets the message. Your assistant makes asking for them part of every finished job.
