What is YOUR EXPERIENCE with Servicemagic?

Never used them. I get phone calls all the time from company's like this wanting me to pay them for leads. I always figured it was a scam of some kind. Guess your post confirms that. Hope your story isn't as bad as some of the ones I read on that link you posted

It's also bad when your compitition finds out and calls & calls just to rack up your "pay"per click amount. I used them for a month, it was the most money I have ever spent on advertising.

FYI, Service Magic is an excellent company and I've used them with great success for about a year.

Glad to hear that checkers, that makes you one of the few that think that. In my area no one has much good to say about them.

Re: What is YOUR EXPERIENCE with Servicemagic?


I used them for a while. Mostly picked up basement remodel type jobs. Always had to be the low bidder to get the job. I think I did one full house for someone who found me on service magic. Overall, it was probably like a yellow pages add. Mostly home owners. I dropped the service when they quit sending me bills and tried to make me log into a website to see how much they were deducting from my bank account every week.

I must know how to sell myself man, because I always get high paying jobs from this!
