We check every request before sending it to you, so you only receive genuine inquiries. This article explains the checks we carry out and what they mean for the leads you see.
What we check
Contact details
We review email addresses and phone numbers, and ask customers to verify them where possible. Please note that some numbers, such as landlines, may not be verifiable, but we still check every request for quality and authenticity.
Intent to hire
Customers answer a short set of questions when submitting a request, so we can confirm they are actively looking for a professional — not just browsing. This reduces speculative or uncommitted inquiries.
Request quality
We automatically filter out duplicate, incomplete, or suspicious requests. If a submission doesn't meet our quality threshold, it won't be sent on to professionals.
Location coverage
We block requests from areas where Bark does not currently operate, so you won't receive leads that fall outside your coverage zone.
What this means for you
Most low-quality inquiries are filtered out before they reach you, so you can focus your time and credits on real opportunities.
| ⚠️ If something doesn't look right, report the lead, and our team will review it. If it doesn't meet our standards, we'll return your credits. |
