Updates to the Business Profile Pages
The business profile page is the face of your business and here at Service Central we're all about making that face look as good as possible!
Lately we've made a few improvements to the business profile page to firstly, make it look better and secondly make it easier to navigate. These changes include:
- Slick, tabbed navigation
Easy to use and nice on the eyes, the tabbed navigation across the top replaces the side navigation that some people were finding hard to use or simply weren't seeing at all. - Map & contact details on the right are now more prominent
Now visitors can easily see where you're located and what your contact details are, meaning more chance that they will contact you! - Links to all photos, jobs and reviews on summary page
Your summary page is where most people start, so it makes sense to include more links to your photo gallery, reviews and accepted jobs on that page.
So, in order to get the most of the new design it's important to remember that the profile page is the ‘face’ of your business on Service Central. Consider it like a shop front - it has to sell your business and entice customers to want to learn more about you.
The easiest ways to do this are to:
- Add a custom description.
This will sit at the top of the page and be one of the first things a visitor reads. - Add photos.
Photos of your work will help generate trust and also inspire the consumer to make the most of your services. - Encourage feedback.
When you complete a job you accepted through Service Central, don’t be shy about encouraging the consumer to post feedback. Only they can give you a star rating and add to your feedback score.
Visit your business profile today and have a think about what you can do to help it sell your business.
