"Boost Your DJ Business Effortlessly"
What do you like best about Bark.com?

I love using Bark.com for my DJ services because it consistently helps me attract new customers, ensuring I get business all the time. The platform’s ability to promote my business is particularly valuable, as I benefit from the customer reviews that significantly enhance my visibility. Moreover, the initial setup of Bark.com was extremely easy for me, making it convenient to start leveraging its features quickly. I am highly satisfied with the overall experience Bark.com provides, and I am confident in recommending it to others, as reflected by my rating of 10 out of 10.

"Effective for Client Acquisition, Needs Better Lead Scrutiny"
What do you like best about Bark.com?

I find Bark.com's return credit policy very beneficial. When a lead turns out to be bad or invalid, their policy ensures that I can reclaim credits efficiently, which helps to mitigate losses from non-valuable leads. Even though they have shifted the process from phone-based to form-based, the policy itself remains a redeeming feature. The convenience this policy offers makes a significant difference when dealing with numerous leads. Additionally, I appreciate that setting up Bark.com was very easy, which facilitated a smooth transition from the previous tool I was using, Agency Access. These aspects make Bark.com a valuable tool in finding clients seeking my services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

I'm dissatisfied with Bark.com's inadequate policing of leads, as well as the insufficient authentication of emails. Additionally, the expiration of credits after three months is frustrating, especially given the prevalence of bad and fake leads, which makes utilizing the credits challenging.

"Effective Lead Generator, With Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about Bark.com?

I really appreciate how Bark.com sends me leads, which is crucial for looking for clients. I like their responsiveness because they actually listen and act fairly, which I find really beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

Often the leads do not translate into jobs because customers aren’t actually ready to hire. They are just shopping around to get an idea of the market and don’t realize it translates into an expense for us vendors in terms of time and money with no benefit.

"Powerful Lead Generation with Stellar Support"
What do you like best about Bark.com?

I like that Bark.com helps find qualified leads for my business. It's easy to communicate with the customer service, and it's another resource for lead generating. The initial setup was very easy, even though it took a little bit of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

I think perhaps every customer should verify their phone number before they're allowed to submit a request to speak to a service provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Bark for part of my lead generation for my dog training business. Bark is a reliable and professional service. Their support is diligent and timely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

Bark could do a better job qualifying leads, but for the most part the information provide with the lead is adequate for me to determine lead quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Better than no leads at all"
What do you like best about Bark.com?

I like being able to look at leads daily.

I like seeing details of the lead to qualify the lead.

Seeing how much I am paying to contact the customer.

I had some confusion about how the service worked in the beginning, and the customer service person helped me, which I appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

To the person looking at this review. Please disregard the last page. I did not understand how to use it so I just rated everything "1" -- sorry about that but you didn't provide any info and also no space for me to write a note about my confusion.

There were not enough leads in my area. I am rural, but have a wide circumference of where I will work. Most of the leads were from the large metro area at the edge of my service area. Understandable.

Also, I am not sure what clients think is the going rate for the type of photography they are needing. Do you educate them on your end? Unknown. Most clients I interacted with didn't seem to understand how family or senior photography as a service works.

The other thing I disliked was that I spent $200+ for leads and got one job out of it. Yes, it covered the cost, but that job is ending up to be a loss after expenses. Not good business for me.

Why are some leads more expensive than others? I can't see a pattern. It is helpful as a cost up front to know that, and helps me in creating proposals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Illegal Scam: Bark.com"
What do you like best about Bark.com?

Nothing. Shifty dishonest company. Criminal enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

They are criminals. They added my company to their website, without my permission. Illegal. Emailed me fake leads without asking. Illegal. Started spamming me with fake leads that of course never respond to any of my email because they are fake. Crooks. Period. Report this criminal company to ensure they are visited by the police.

"Bark Rocks!!"
What do you like best about Bark.com?

Very reasonable prices for warm qualified leads! I always buy the credits @their 1/2 price sales so it's an even better deal. Have found many customers based on my requirements. They are super attentive and always willing to refund credits when there is an issue. Their customer service is superb! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

I have found zero downsides from Bark! Nothing at all to report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rather search for reasonable leads"
What do you like best about Bark.com?

Not at all. Bark doesn't help me as a freelancer at all. In the end, it just takes money out of your pocket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bark.com?

Here, you only gain customers if you have no standards. Low-budget usually doesn't bring anything to the customer either. I cannot recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
