If you've submitted a request but haven't heard back from professionals, here's what to do.
Why it might happen
| Reason | Detail |
| It's still early | Professionals have up to a few days to respond to new requests |
| Your request needs more detail | Vague requests get fewer responses; add more information to attract professionals |
| No professionals available | In some categories or locations, availability can be limited |
What to do
1. Wait a little longer
Most responses come within a few days of posting. If it's been less than 48 hours, give it a little more time.
2. Update your request
Adding more detail to your request budget, timeline, location helps professionals understand what you need and makes them more likely to respond.
3. Check your notifications
Make sure your email notifications are turned on so you don't miss a response when it arrives.
4. Repost your request
If you still haven't heard back after a few days, try closing your current request and reposting with more detail.
