Public Card, Trust Signals, and Publishing
Configure your public Tradie Card for local discovery, direct enquiries, and trust-first conversion.
Guide Outcome
This guide explains what appears on the live card, how customers move from visit to enquiry, and which controls affect visibility and intake behavior.
- • Public card content matches the services you want to sell.
- • Trust signals (proof, reviews, contact paths) are visible above decision friction points.
- • Card publish state and intake mode align with your actual capacity.
Step-by-Step Workflow
Step 1
Structure the card for decision speed
Set sections, service framing, and contact actions so a customer can confirm fit in under one scroll.
- • Overview clearly states what you do and where.
- • Services and specialties are specific, not generic.
- • Primary contact actions are visible without digging.
Step 2
Add proof and media
Use gallery, team, and social proof blocks to remove doubt before the customer submits an enquiry.
- • Recent job photos are uploaded.
- • Team information is current where relevant.
- • Review signals are connected and displayed appropriately.
Step 3
Set intake behavior
Choose open, limited, waitlist, or paused intake based on capacity and response ability.
- • Mode reflects current workload reality.
- • Customer messaging matches the selected mode.
- • Follow-up workflow is prepared for queued enquiries.
Step 4
Publish and distribute
When live, use the card URL consistently across GBP, social bios, quote/invoice footers, and referral messages.
- • Live slug is confirmed and shareable.
- • Card link is placed on main customer discovery channels.
- • Any post-launch edits are rechecked in preview after saving.
