When a customer opens your profile, they are looking for one thing: do you offer what they need? A clear service list answers that in seconds, while a vague one sends them back to the search results.

AT A GLANCE

Clear names

Use the words customers search.

Logical order

Most requested first.

No surprises

Be clear about what is included.

Name services the way customers do

Use simple, recognisable names. "Screen replacement" is clearer than "display solutions", and "drain unblocking" is clearer than "plumbing maintenance". If customers use several names for the same thing, choose the most common one.

Put the most requested services first

Lead with the services that bring in most of your customers. A shorter list of well-named services is more useful than a long list of everything you have ever done.

If you offer many services, group them so customers can scan quickly. A repair shop might separate phone, tablet and laptop services. A salon might separate cuts, colour and treatments.

Be clear about what is included

Customers dislike surprises. Where it helps, explain what a service covers, how long it usually takes and whether an inspection or quote comes first.

Connect services to booking

If customers can book a service online, make that obvious. Services that link straight to an appointment turn interest into a confirmed booking.
