Angie’s list and Angie are liars. I can state just after the statue of Hussein was taken down the college kids at Vanderbilt who worked part time for Angie called me from a Vandy phone. They asked who my favorite HVAC contractor was. Well,they called my HVAC man and got his wife who runs the business. She called and told me they wanted money for them to advertise. She asked what did I think about paying. I told her that they advertised no contractor pays. She did not pay for an ad. I dumped Angie’s list during the trial period.
The HVAC company I work for here in Indianapolis has a listing on Angie’s list. We do not pay for the listing; however, if we want a bump to be on the Angie’s Listed top contractors, we better pay advertising fees. The companies who pay for advertising get ads in their booklet and mentions on radio or TV ads depending how big their
advertising dollars.
We do fine being a member if the BBB.
