A Step-by-Step Guide for Service Providers
Whether you’re a skilled handyman, a personal trainer, a pet groomer, or offer any kind of local service, the WhoCan app is designed to connect you with people in your area who need your expertise. But to attract the right clients and get more bookings, your service listings must be clear, well-structured, and tailored to your strengths.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through exactly how to set up and customize your services on WhoCan—so you stand out, look professional, and grow your client base.
Step 1: Creating a Service Listing
Once you’ve created your service provider profile on the WhoCan app, follow these steps to add your services:
- Log in to your provider account.
- Tap on “My Services” in your dashboard.
- Click “Add New Service.”
- Choose a category that best matches your skill (e.g., Home Repairs, Cleaning, Fitness).
- Give your service a clear and descriptive title (e.g., “Furniture Assembly & Installation”).
✅ Pro Tip: Use keywords people might search for. For example: “AC Repair in Houston” or “Dog Walking – Morning Slots Available.”
Step 2: Setting Your Pricing (Hourly vs. Fixed)
WhoCan allows you to choose between two pricing models:
- Hourly Rate: Best for services that vary in time (e.g., repairs, consulting).
- Fixed Price: Ideal for clearly defined tasks (e.g., “Install a ceiling fan – $50”).
How to Set It:
- In your service listing, select your preferred pricing model.
- Enter your base rate.
- (Optional) Add extra charges for materials, extended hours, or travel.
💡 Be transparent. Clients are more likely to book when they understand exactly what they’re paying for.
Step 3: Writing a Strong Service Description and Adding Tags
Your service description is your sales pitch. Use it to explain:
- What you do
- What’s included in the price
- What makes you reliable or better than others
Example:
“With 5+ years of experience in plumbing, I offer fast and reliable solutions for leaks, pipe installations, and bathroom repairs. Available evenings and weekends. Tools and parts provided if needed.”
After your description, add relevant tags. These help your listing appear in user searches.
Tag Ideas:
- Plumbing
- Leak repair
- Emergency handyman
- Affordable home repairs
- Local plumber [Your City]
🎯 Use both general and location-based keywords in your tags.
Step 4: Choosing Service Areas and Availability
To ensure you get matched with local clients, accurately define your working areas and schedule.
Set Your Location:
- Add your base city or zip code.
- Set a service radius (e.g., “Up to 15 miles from [your address]”).
Set Availability:
- Choose specific days and hours when you’re available.
- Add buffer times between jobs if needed.
- Enable “Instant Booking” if you want clients to book without prior chat.
🕒 Consistency in availability boosts your chances of repeat clients and higher ratings.
Bonus: Updating & Managing Your Listings
You can always:
- Edit your services if pricing, skills, or availability changes.
- Pause a listing temporarily when you’re unavailable.
- Duplicate a listing to offer similar services with small variations.
Go to “My Services” → Select the listing → Tap Edit or Pause.
