That's just to turn up on the day  and do job, then  plus this and that,

I used bark a little bit when starting out, used to click the cheeky leads nobody answered for £3 so worth a punt. They pushed it up so far nowadays it's £30-35, just to get the customer phone number to find out what the job is or even if there is a job. Gone bonkers.

You know that and I know that, but lots of the enquiries were from Peterborough - in the city they don't know anything about trees and don't know neighbours to ask for a recommendation.

 

Problem is bark do a good job of appearing on Google search. Ideally we'd all pay Steve a few quid to make a central tree surgeon index which does well on Google and everyone's info is written by another tree firm so is brutally honest.
