Angie’s List – Local Professionals Reviewed By The People
Angie’s List is a very large review site. It contains reviews from over 750,000 consumers about the service they have received from local companies. It covers over 250 types of services e.g. Electrical,Landscaping to Dermatologists and Dance Instructors in 49 states.
When you register you get access to the ratings and reviews that have been left by previous customers. There is no way that businesses can pay to be registered so you can be sure the reviews are unbiased and are verified by the website so there is no bad-mouthing competitors or enhancing your own reputation.
Like ebay feedback there is a two way dialog with the company so they can respond to any feedback that is left. They also have a complaint resolution team who will step in to solve any disputes.
They also have a very useful blog which contains lots of articles about diverse things from removing animals to getting tattoo’s. This is open to browse so you can get an idea about the site before registering.
We were disappointed they do not offer a refund on the fees but we understood people could access it for one particular project and then quit.
All in all we found this has the best features for a very reasonable price. For any major project this type of consumer driven information is invaluable to make sure you don’t get scammed.
