To decide out, it’s worthwhile to fill out this form. That is from the Thumbtack help page – so examine there if the shape now not works, possibly there will probably be an up to date hyperlink.

As reported to me by Colan Nielsen on X and posted within the Local Search Forum, this enterprise doesn’t need the ebook hyperlink to go to Thumbtack, however it does – not less than after I wrote this.

We noticed this occur rather a lot over time, we even referred to as it hijacking appointment links in Google – together with with Postmates.
