Let's Talk About Craigslist Ads ?

Roof Cleaning New Jersey · Aug 2, 2012

I tried it back in the day. I feel if youre looking for leads on Craigslist, expect to do work for next to nothing. I love when people place ads looking for someone to install a boiler, or snake a drain, or whatever service they need. They should just come right out and say theyre too cheap to find a professional, they dont care about quality, and they wont pay for more than a 12 pack...... of Old Milwaukee.

I say no to craigslist. Here is why.

1. I go on craigslist all day looking for cheap deals. ( People on craiglist want deals)
2. People on craigslist are shysters and low ballers. ( I myself am a low baller)
3. You don't find doctors or scientist on craigslist. (Here at Apex Roof Cleaning, we are professionals you can't just find our services on craigslist.)
4. Make a butt kicking website, and follow Chris Tucker's Guide to nation wide SEO and you don't need craigslist.

I don't mean to set the negative tone, but just how I feel.

Here is why I asked, I just recently changed my website. since the change, I have went up 5 spots, in the National roof cleaning search!

BUT, I got fukked in a local search!

This will be fixed, in a month or so, but if you search roof cleaning tampa, you will see I have about 10 poeople on TOP of me furious

I have a painter friend who swears by Craigslist, but he told me you need a craigslist posting service, here is why!

Ok, ED Thompson posts an ad, but Gutter Rat and Mike DeRose claim all of Jersey,and flag every ad Thompson posts.

But Ed Thompson is an Irishman, so he posts tons of ads every 4 hours, to counter the flagging. Then guess what happens to ED ?

Craigslist GHOSTS his account, Do you guys know what GHOSTING is ????

Better learn

Once your account gets Ghosted, you are basically watched and screwed.

The WAY around all this, is to get a Craigslist Posting service biggrin

At the bottom of every search on Google, is a list of other items related to that search, enough said ?

That's about all I post there for also Dave. I ask most of the time how they located us and 99% of the Craigslist calls are just other companies "shopping" other contractors to see if their price list is in the ballpark to see what they are charging or to price out the job for them. I can pick them out a mile away. wink
