  Yext seems to be focussed more on phone leads, both providing higher quality leads and a better management system for those leads.

We got lucky with the domain, and we're able to finance it.

    on redbeacon, the only thing you as a consumer can do is put in a wanted ad. you can do this on thumbtack--see: http://www.thumbtack.com/postwanted http://www.thumbtack.com/postwanted. what you can't do on redbeacon is browse service providers' profiles. redbeacon seems to want to segregate the two sides so that they can arbitrage the leads, but it leads to an incomplete user experience. on thumbtack you can post a wanted ad or browse an available service and book people directly.
