Completing Your Profile

Your profile is your storefront on Pitch Gurus. It is how athletes, clubs, and organisations decide whether to book your services. A fully completed profile builds credibility, improves your visibility in search results, and gives potential clients the confidence to get in touch.

Profile Completion Progress

Your dashboard displays a profile completion percentage based on how many key sections you've filled in. Aim for 100% to maximise your ranking in search results. Each section you complete contributes to the overall score.

Essential Profile Sections

Personal Information

Your name, location, and contact details form the foundation of your profile. Make sure your city and country are correct, as clients searching for local providers rely on accurate location data. For more guidance, see Personal Information.

Bio & Summary

Your bio is your pitch. Explain what services you offer, your approach, and what makes you different. See Summary and Bio for tips on writing an effective bio.

Sport Profiles

Sport profiles describe which sports your business covers, at what level, and for which age groups. For a multi-practitioner business, list every sport any of your coaches or specialists can deliver. See Sport Profiles.

Qualifications

List the credentials held across the practitioners delivering services through your business, not only the founder's. See Qualifications & Certifications.

Roles & Experience

Detail the professional roles and experience your team brings, including positions held, organisations worked with, and years of experience. See Roles & Experience.

Setting Up Your Business

Beyond your personal profile, service providers should also set up:

• Public Profile: If you trade as a company or under a brand name, set up a business identity with its own logo, summary, and service categories. See Public Profile
• Services: Create your service listings with pricing, descriptions, and delivery methods. See Creating a Service
• Events: List workshops, camps, clinics, or other events. See Creating an Event
• Stripe Connect: Set up payment processing to receive payments from clients. See Stripe Connect Setup
• Tax Registration: Register your tax information for compliance. See Tax Registration

Additional Features

• Content & Articles: Publish unlimited articles to showcase your expertise. See Creating Articles
• Identity Verification: Complete verification for a trust badge. See Identity Verification
• AI Profile Builder: Upload a CV or portfolio and let AI generate your profile content. See AI Content Tools
• Calendar: Manage your schedule and sync with external calendars. See Calendar

Tips for a Great Profile

1. Use a professional photo: A clear, friendly photo is the single biggest trust signal on your profile
2. Write a compelling bio: Highlight your specialisation, results you've achieved, and what sets you apart
3. List your services early: Clients visiting your profile want to see what you offer and what it costs
4. Keep qualifications up to date: Add new certifications as you earn them

Profile Visibility

Your profile becomes visible once you've completed the minimum required fields. The completeness and quality of your profile directly influences where you appear in search results.
