Your GigsDex profile is the only thing a potential client sees before they decide whether to call you. A few honest improvements make a real difference.
Your GigsDex dashboard shows a profile-completion percentage based on eight things: your name, a headline, your bio, a photo, your primary trade, your skills, your years of experience, and at least one public contact method. Profiles need to be reasonably complete before they're eligible to show up in search — so this isn't optional polish, it's the baseline.
"Certified Electrician, 8 yrs experience" tells a client more in five seconds than a generic title ever will. Be specific about your trade and how long you've been doing it.
Your portfolio is the closest thing to a client seeing your work in person before they call. A handful of clear photos of jobs you're proud of, each with a short description, goes a long way.
If you hold a trade certificate or licence, add it. The admin team can verify individual certificates, and a verified certificate shows up as its own badge on your profile.
Set real hours for each day of the week. Nothing loses a client's trust faster than being unreachable when your profile says you're available.
GigsDex's "Nearby" search is location-based — if a city you work in isn't listed under "Cities Served," clients there won't find you.
