Profile Quality Tips

Bio & Summary

Explain what services you offer and who they're for
Mention specific results or outcomes you've helped clients achieve
Keep it between 150 and 500 words
Use the AI bio generator if you need help getting started

Services

Write clear, descriptive titles that clients will search for
Include transparent pricing so clients know what to expect
Specify whether services are delivered online, in person, or both
Add relevant sports and age group tags for discoverability

Events

Use compelling descriptions that explain what attendees will gain
Set clear dates, times, and capacity limits
Include pricing and any early-bird or discount options

Verification

Service providers do not need to start identity verification separately. Once Stripe Connect onboarding is complete and your account is fully enabled for charges and payouts, Pitch Gurus adds a verified badge to your profile automatically. See Identity Verification for details.
