Tips for a strong application
- Upload a real photo โ profiles with photos get 4ร more bookings.
- Write a specific bio โ "I specialise in South Indian cooking and have 6 years of experience catering events in Hyderabad" beats "I am a chef".
- Set a fair price โ check what other professionals in your category charge by browsing /hire.
- List your actual available days โ customers book based on your availability; inaccurate availability leads to cancellations.
After going live
- Keep your availability calendar updated.
- Respond to booking requests within 4 hours โ response time affects your ranking.
- After every job, ask the customer to leave a review.
- High-rated professionals appear first in search results.
