3 Marketplaces Your Moving Company Should Join

Online marketplaces are databases that connect customers to products and services. Amazon, Craigslist, and Fiverr are all examples of marketplaces. Consumers use service marketplaces to search and compare services like plumbers or moving companies. It’s essential to list your services on these platforms to ensure you grow your moving company and take advantage of the potential customer base available on these moving marketplaces!

In a sea of movers and moving companies, it can be tough to stand out. Service marketplaces are a great way to bridge the gap and make your moving company easily accessible to potential customers. To help you stay booked and busy, we’ve gathered the top marketplaces your moving company should be listed on.

Yelp

Yelp is the most popular and trusted online marketplace for customers looking for moving help and to find and compare local businesses. With over 178 million unique monthly visitors, Yelp is an excellent (and free) way to promote your business to a larger audience. Customers can contact you directly through Yelp to book a move and leave reviews on the service they received, which are publicly displayed on your profile. More positive reviews mean more leads and a higher rating on Yelp, giving your business a higher rank in their search results.

It is important to manage your Yelp page well because negative reviews can cause a decline in your conversion rate. To avoid this, be sure to make your moving company’s profile comprehensive by including any information that is useful to customers. Include photos of your company’s work and respond to inquiries promptly to create a great first impression.

Thumbtack 

Not too far behind Yelp, Thumbtack is another trusted marketplace consumers use to find reliable, independent service providers. Moving is a very common service that people search for on Thumbtack, so being listed on this marketplace holds a lot of value. Just like on Yelp, you want to build your profile to give a strong first impression.

Thumbtack allows potential customers to view details like how long you’ve been in business, how many Thumbtack customers you’ve helped, and how they rated your service (out of 5 stars). Potential customers can also contact you through Thumbtack for booking inquiries and moving quotes.

Often, customers go to UHaul with the intention of moving their belongings on their own, then realize hiring a mover is the best way to go. To make the process simpler for customers, UHaul created a search engine where users can find local moving companies. 

As one of the biggest names in the moving industry, this search engine is often in use. Adding your moving company to this registry can certainly open you up to more bookings! Register your company for free.
