Building your profile
Your profile is what families see. A complete, specific profile earns more quote requests than a thin one.
The fields
- Business name and description — who you are and what you offer.
- Categories — your primary category is required; add others that fit.
- Location and service area — your ZIP code and how far you'll travel, whether you travel nationwide, and whether you work virtually. A street address is optional: add one only if families come to you (a venue, studio or shop). We never show it publicly.
- Profile photo — your best, most representative image. You can also add a photo gallery of extra photos from the Photo & links page (your plan sets how many). Once your profile is live, a new gallery photo appears after a quick review; until then it shows as Awaiting review on that page.
- Social links and website — where families can learn more.
- And more — pricing and amenities, extra media (video, audio, a virtual tour), FAQs, testimonials, service packages, the event types you serve, business hours, a booking link, and a discovery-session offer. Add whatever fits your business.
Photo requirements
Upload a JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 20 MB. We strip EXIF metadata (including any embedded location data) automatically when you upload.
About links
Your website and social links are validated against a list of supported platforms. Changing your website address queues it for a quick review before it shows publicly — this keeps the directory free of spam and unsafe links.
Track what's left
The completion checklist in your dashboard flags anything missing, so you always know how close your profile is to being ready to publish.
