How to Create and Optimize Your Profile

Step 1: Sign Up as a Contractor

If you haven't already, sign up for a contractor account on Ratedeed. This will give you access to your contractor dashboard where you can manage your profile.

Step 2: Complete Your Profile Information

A complete profile is crucial for attracting clients. Fill out all sections thoroughly:

• Contact Information: Ensure your phone number, email, and business address are accurate.
• Services Offered: Clearly list all the services you provide (e.g., plumbing, electrical, carpentry, landscaping). Be specific!
• Service Area: Define the geographical areas where you offer your services.
• About Me/Us: Write a compelling description of your business, your experience, and what makes you unique. Highlight your expertise and customer service philosophy.
• Licenses and Certifications: Upload copies of all relevant licenses, certifications, and insurance documents to build trust with potential clients.

Step 3: Showcase Your Work with a Portfolio

Visuals are powerful. Upload high-quality photos of your completed projects. Before-and-after shots are particularly effective. A strong portfolio demonstrates your skill and the quality of your work.

Step 4: Encourage Reviews

Positive reviews are your best marketing tool. After completing a project, politely ask satisfied clients to leave a review on your Ratedeed profile. The more positive reviews you have, the more credible and attractive your profile becomes.

Step 5: Keep Your Profile Updated

Regularly update your profile with new projects, services, or any changes to your business. A fresh and current profile signals that you are active and professional.

Step 6: Consider Premium Features

Explore Ratedeed's premium features, such as verified badges and priority listings. These can significantly increase your visibility and attract more high-quality leads.
