Are You The Best At What You Do?
We want to acknowledge the best Sellers on Bark who offer an outstanding service to their clients, and help you stand out from the crowd.
Introducing the Certificate of Excellence Awards 2018/19.
Achieve Excellence
These are the three main factors that we will be using to pick the best Sellers for the award.
1. Reviews
2. Response Time
3. Profile Completion
There’s more detailed information below on how to be the best in these three areas and be awarded the Certificate of Excellence Award 2018/19.
Winners will be announced December 2018.
Reviews
To qualify, you need to have a strong review rating.
How can I get more reviews and improve my score?
Add Reviews Badge
Add the reviews badge to your website to encourage those who may not have been hired via Bark to leave feedback.
Link Accounts
Link your Google and Facebook accounts and we’ll pull through any reviews (these will show on your reviews badge).
Request Reviews
Request reviews from your previous Bark customers.
Request Reviews from Clients You’ve Secured Outside of Bark
You can even request reviews from customers you haven’t secured from Bark.
Response Time
To qualify, you’ll need to respond to requests quickly – we recommend within 12 hours or less. The faster you respond, the higher your chances of securing new business.
Enabling One-Click Response can improve your response time by up to 43%.
Profile Completion
To qualify, you should have a strong Seller profile. Our top sellers have an average profile completion of 70%.
Your profile is the first place a client will go to find out more about your company before deciding whether they would like to work with you.
How can I improve my seller profile?
Link Accounts
Link your Google and Facebook accounts and we’ll pull through profile pictures, photos and reviews to enrich your profile.
See How Others View You
Check how clients will view your profile to see how it will look to them, and better understand where you can improve.

Thanks guys! Could we post me, if I win, as located in San Mateo, CA. Thanks so much! You guys rock.
Thanks you
I have not gotten one customer from Bark. Seems your customers want very inexpensive photographers. I have gone through 225 credits with no hires.
Hi, that does sound frustrating. Our support team are on hand to help with situations like this – please email team@bark.com and they can look to help. – The Bark Team
Ok
Yes, I’d like to learn more. I’m good at social media and website design (and hosting), but would I call myself the best in Cape Coral, probably not. There are some excellent ones down here (in SW Florida). I am though, one of the best marketing professionals (over 20 years of small business marketing consulting experience) and printing professionals (nearly 20 years as a professional print broker, always getting the highest quality printing at the cheapest pricing around).
I would be more than willing to add whatever links, reviews and links to bark if it would bring me more qualified customers and I am ALWAYS timely! Let me know.
Hi Guys, I would like to win all areas especially Naples & Bonita springs Florida-Marco Island & Cape Coral are good Naples BEST! Please address if I am in good enough order to win all excellence awards ? Greatly appriciate that<Thanks Chef Ron BernwoodCatering.com 239-777-5137

Great Idea. Has great value for clients looking for the best professional DJ service. Looking forward to making the list and adding it to my website. Thank You
We have not been paying much attention to alert from Bark. We will work on this to reduce our response time.
Submitting! (for Brooklyn)
Thank you for contacting me! 🙂
I’m hoping to add to my profile. How do we apply for these awards? We believe we are best at PPC and Facebook/Instagram.
Thanks!
Hi, we have sent emails to all our sellers with instructions on what you’ll need to do to be considered for the awards. If you want some help with this, you can email team@bark.com for assistance. – The Bark Team
I look forward to being considered for this award Bark team – I answer every reply within 1 minute of seeing it during business hours, ( by the way, I think my average response time goes down if I reply in the am to an overnight bark which isn’t fair), I have solid reviews and I offer a great service at a fair price. I am Elite on my other company 299social.com and am getting Elite today on SPYDER. thanks, Jim, President, SPYDERwebmarketing.com

I am based near Watton, Norfolk and acquired No Letting Go – Norwich January 2nd 2018
Hi – maybe there’s been a mix up between the two. Our support team should be able to sort this out for you, they can be contacted via email on team@bark.com.

Excellent, I have been referring my out of house customers from Harley street to Bark. They have used bark for other services they have required.
It’s been a great platform as an icebreaker introducing myself and others.
Respectfully
Charlotte Sra
It’s humbling to know we are making a good in pact out there on the field, being acknowledged for our hard work and excellent customer service makes it all worth while.
Many thanks for S.B Electrical & AV
We at A-Tech Home improvements are only a small firm but we offer the best quality and the best prices of all styles of fencing work in the West Midlands…
and I would like to see if we can win the Certificate of Excellence Award..
Very good wore l do
Thank you for the email. This is very exciting. Please let me know what I need to do to be considered for the excellence awards.
Great idea, look forward to seeing the results!
Hi guys! Thanks for so many job offers.
Exciting! Would be amazing to be nominated for this award!
Thank you for this email I have been awarded previously (Best Three Dog Walker in Solihull & LUX Magazine – Best Dog Walker in Solihull) in the last 12 months! So my record speaks for itself. Your quoted response time of my three days is incorrect. When you have allowed a free reply everyone I have replied to has ignored my response this is less than 24 hours from when you advised me of a new client! I do not respond to any that require credits as I’m not that difficult to find on the internet if people are genuine clients! I would be interested to hear your response.
Hi – interesting to read! The best people to speak with here are the support team, as they can help with your questions, you can reach out to them direct via email to team@bark.com.
Good idea
Do all of my google reviews count and if so, I have mentioned this before, why are they not all showing under my profile?
Hi Steve – they absolutely will do. We bulk update all google reviews, so they aren’t done automatically. This is a free aspect of our service and we will be updating everyones google reviews in the near future. Thanks – The Bark Team
Having been a client with Bark.com for nearly 2 years, now I feel that I have all the qualifications for The Certificate of Excellence. Since early 2017, the Barks I have received, and the way in which I handle them has revolutionised my operation. As a true believer in the Law of Averages, as long as I keep focused on that the results are alwaysthe same. A great SUCCESS! Regards Mel. Midas Video Production. 9th November 2019
Hi Team
This is another brilliant idea from Bark.com.
I am very interested in obtaining the award.
At present, five fully qualified Accountants at Top Choice Accountants are dealing with the requirements of 92 clients –
73 of which were obtained via the excellent Bark.com
The plan from 1.2.19 is to take on at least a further 60 clients.
We specialise with sole traders and partnerships and prepare full business plans if required.
Regards
Rob
Partner & Chief Consultant
Hi Rob! Always a pleasure hearing from you – we’re delighted to hear of your ongoing success. It looks like you may be on track to get the certificate already, but we want to make sure you’re 100% there. If you drop us an email to team@bark.com we can look into what’s missing, if anything, to ensure you gain the certificate. – The Bark Team
I have a very good understanding with all my customers to the point they ask for advice on other services, I also talk to and send them other services we can offer, The latest service with the winter weather upon us is Fogging, it is recommended in schools, Hospitals, etc, any where the general public gather – even doctors surgeries, public transport, It treats the cold and spreadable infections which cause staff to have time off work ( a big cost to any company), children’s absence from school. We also are offering a 1 x per year service of supply and install Christmas trees for receptions, offices – anywhere you want.
We have the designers that can give you the type of wedding you would be proud of.Best is in the eyes of other people and that can differ from person to person.The bride is the main one we make every effort to please.
Great idea! Looking forward to seeing the results!
That is amazing! You guys have always been helpful!
Thank you
Just want to comment again that I think a minor change in your good business model would really work well for vendors/service providers, and would go a long way to attract new vendors to your site. I truly feel that charging those interested in services, even just a tiny amount, so they are more invested and take their requests seriously, would prevent pranksters and others just having a desperate moment in the middle of the night. My experience has been borne out by others I have asked. People submit requests, we respond, send them messages and leave voice mail and they do not reply. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it happens enough. Why not make them pay even a dollar or two to put in a request? I think it would serve you and your vendors
Hi, an interesting suggestion. We have passed this onto the development team here at Bark for them to take into consideration. We will of course keep you up to date with any future developments and improvements to the service that you may be interested in. For now, if you have any further questions or issues, we can speak direct via email on team@bark.com.
Not matter how hard I try I don’t know how to complete my sellers profile . I’ve done all I think I can and it sits below 50%
Hi, if you email team@bark.com they can let you know the best way to get reviews.
How can I get more reviews is not working?
Hi, if you need help, the support team at Bark are on hand whenever you need. Simply drop us an email to team@bark.com and let us know what you need.
