Set your lead preferences

Setting your lead preferences couldn’t be easier on Bark.

Tell us exactly what leads you want to receive to match your services and locations, so we only alert you to customers which are right for your business.

You can receive leads for as many services and locations as you like.

  • You can add and remove services in your Lead Preferences.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to update your services.
  • You can add and remove locations in your Lead Preferences. 
  • Your location can be defined by radius from a postcode, travel time from a postcode, or by simply drawing the area you cover on a map.

We also have a powerful tool called ‘Filter Questions’. Here you can let us know which customers you wish to hear about based on the answers they provide when submitting a request.

You can use this tool to specify exactly what leads you want to receive in your Lead Preferences.

Next to each of your listed services, select Filter Questions.

Follow the on-screen instructions to filter the leads for your chosen service.
