Hi there, We're very sorry to hear about a poor experience you had with a professional you found on Bark. The overwhelming majority of customers' experiences on Bark are positive, but we recognise that with such a large volume of jobs being agreed on our platform, problems may arise on very rare occasions. We do not claim to vet any companies who use our site. Our role is simply to put you in touch with a professional in much the same way Google or an advert in the paper would do. We provide public profiles on every professional and an open review system to allow all prospective customers to carry out their own due diligence before hiring any professionals. This being said, we do take any reports made against professionals seriously, and if you email more information to team@bark.com, we can flag this company with management for review. Kind regards, The Bark Team

“Far too expensive”

Posted 8 months ago

Hi Teri, Thanks for your review. If you are a professional on the platform, all of our pricing is set based on the monetary value of the job as well as the heat of the lead. We are not a commission based system and therefore do not take a cut of any money professionals earn or repeat business they win. Our role is to provide professionals with the opportunity to convert more business. We are a cheaper alternative for smaller businesses than using PPC, Google AdWords and other forms of online marketing. As such our prices are carefully configured to take all these factors into account. Please get in contact at team@bark.com should you require any more information or help making the most of the platform. Kind regards, The Bark Team

“Very expensive”

Posted 1 year ago

Hi there, Sorry to hear you've had a negative experience using Bark.com. We are an online marketing platform that offers professionals the opportunity to market themselves - almost like a digital Yellow Pages. As such we are not an agency and cannot guarantee work for the professionals. We also do not earn commission on converted leads so that professionals can keep 100% of their earnings. The professionals therefore provide their own quotes to the customers. If we can help in any way, please do email us at team@bark.com. Kind regards, The Bark Team

“Only one contractor has approached me on solar panels despite the fact that my supplied info makes it clear I want a big system and my location is close to ideal. The one who has looks good but how do I get a comparison?”

Posted 2 years ago

Hello, Thank you for your review. We always aim to get each request between 2 - 5 responses. However, the professionals do pay us a small fee to contact you so will only respond if they're able to assist. If you do choose to hire the company that contacted you, we hope you're satisfied with the service. Kind Regards, The Bark Team

Hi there Beech, We're sorry to hear that the professional you spoke with proved to be too expensive. Please note that we are merely the platform that connects service providers with customers and we do not set any prices for their work. Kind regards, The Bark Team

“Ok but leads are not great and you cant see how many people are buying the leads”

Posted 4 years ago

Hi there, We're sorry to hear that you have not had a better experience on our platform. We will soon be releasing a feature allowing all professionals to see how many other service providers have purchased a lead before them. We do already cap our leads at 5 responses, and advise professionals to respond to leads within the first hour of them being placed to give them the best chance of conversion. We would be more than happy to offer our best practice tips for using the service, and any specific advice for your company - please do get in contact at team@bark.com. Kind regards, The Bark Team

“2 fence posts needed replacing, currently NOT happy with the work. 1 post is unstable, the other not fitted well. Whilst polite, the contractor became very pushy about payment even before the work had been done. Not likely I'll use this site again, high likelihood I'll have to get their work corrected....”

“I think the service you are providing is great, however, when I am required to provide my personal phone number I would like to know beforehand that i would be receiving dozens of inbound sales calls. This process is not transparent enough and I ended up with people calling and texting me from all over for over a week and even contacting me on LinkedIn to sell me . I believe that the UX needs to be more transparent if you are going to give personal contact details out, I can't be the first customer who has felt this way.”

Hi Jordan, Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were unaware of how our service works. We only provide your details to professionals who are able to help, and they require these details in order to offer accurate quotes. We appreciate your feedback and have passed it on to our development team. We're glad that we could connect you with a good selection of professionals who could help nonetheless. Kind regards, The Bark Team

“The fitness coaches would reach out way too early and quickly. It was obnoxious having them text me and call me. Would highly recommend allowing the customer to take some time and research the people first and then choosing them THEMSELVES at their OWN TIME. It came off aggressive and not appreciated.”

“I honestly found the process totally overwhelming and stopped responding to texts and emails. One of the big things I'm dealing with is having a stressful workload, and I couldn't manage to find time to follow up on this! Perhaps I will be back when I have more time to dedicate to follow up calls.”

“So disappointing. I requested five quotes and eventually got one but, to get it, I had to repeat all the information I had already submitted through this portal. Seems to be very badly organised.”
