Just wondering if anyone here has advertised on Angies List? I was quoted $168 per month to be featured on the first page, whenever anyone does a search for Gutter Cleaning in my area. I looked into Pressure washing but their is literally hundreds of them in a 5 mile radius. have read some horror stories about contractors not getting any leads whatsoever. Then when they cancel their advertising ,all of a sudden bad reviews start showing up from people the contractor has never head of. Don't know if that is true, could just be sour grapes, but I read that in more than one place from seemingly unrelated sources. I also read that they pressure you to offer "The big deal" in which you pretty much have to give your services away just to make Angies List look good. And all customer contact goes through Angies List, which seems weird to me. It also seemed strange to me that they are even selling advertising, given the tagline they use, "no contractor can pay to be on Angies List". Any insight on this would be great. I want to hear it from real experience before I put out that kind of cash.
