Please email us with any questions. We are happy to help and will get in touch promptly.

Profile pages

Profile page features

Once you have created an account and selected the ‘Perfect Fit’ plan you will be able to create your Profile page and showcase your skills. You can find the steps on how to create a Profile page here.

In the future we may include other plans that allow for the creation of multiple profile pages or different profile types. 

Profile pages can be found using advanced search and filtering.

Filters multiple facets including ‘Categories’, ‘Locations and proximity’, ‘Keywords’ and many others. This allows visitors to tune their search to match their needs.

We encourage Profile page owners to be as thorough as possible when building their listings, which builds trust, increases platform visibility, and more.

Profile page owners can provide various details to help other community members make better-informed decisions.

The following details are available to all Profile page owners and explained in more detail below:

    • Name – this is mandatory, you can choose to enter your name or your brand
    • Tagline – this is a 60 character punchline that best describes you or your brand
    • About me – here you can add information about you in more detail. You have 1000 characters available. The field has a counter to ensure you don’t go over the limit.
    • Business address – this will be used in all places where your location is required, like showing on the map, address info and links with directions to find you.
    • Phone number – this is the number on which potential customers can contact you.
    • Contact Email – this is the email on which potential customers can contact you.
    • Website – if you have a personal website, you can enter the url here.
    • Social networks – you can select any social networks that you have and add links to them.

Trainers with Profile page can be rated by website visitors helping trainers build their reputation by accumulating positive feedback. Reviews include a star rating out of 5 and reviewers can add comments to the review. Trainers are able to respond to reviews.

Reviews will be monitored, can only be submitted by registered users, and trainers cannot review their own listings. Trainers can respond to reviews and submit comments and feedback.

Trainers have their addresses shown for quick reference, as well as shown on a map, providing quick access to directions for users.

The address is also a key field that visitors can use when searching using a proximity filter where they specify a search radius from their current location.

To help people easily reach listing owners and to help get listings found in search engines, NAP (Name, Address, and Phone Number) is critical information to include in a Profile page.

While including a Name (i.e., Listing Title) is a given, listings can contain the following information in an actionable format (ex. click-to-call) where possible to make things even more convenient for users of the platform. All these are visible and available to all visitors, not only to those who have a profile. This ensures listing owners are contactable by anyone, at any time. Info includes:

    • Contact Email (Click to Email)
    • Phone Number – this is not mandatory (Click to Call)
    • Address – this is not mandatory (Click to open in Google maps for directions)
    • Website – this is not mandatory (Click to Browse)
    • Social Networks – these are not mandatory (Click to View)

Link directly to your own website, allowing you to get more exposure and run visitors through your own sales funnel.

Links to your Social Networks can be added to listings, and when a link is added, the name of the network and the corresponding icon are automatically added. You can add links for Facebook; Instagram; Twitter; LinkedIn and YouTube.

If someone chooses to click on one of the Social Networks, that network’s website will open in a new browser tab so that users can stay on the listing.

If you required other social networks for be available, please contact us and will will add them.

Trainers can easily enter their working hours by day to help inform potential clients as to their availability. 

Logos and Cover Images are essential for portraying brands, products, services, etc.

For those that are highly visual, the right Logo and Cover image could be what makes someone ultimately choose your Profile page.
