Promote your services everywhere!

What can I do to make my listings more appealing and get booked more often?

1

Make your profile more appealing to potential customers.

Upload real photos of your work: Choose a friendly profile picture and clear before-and-after shots of jobs you have actually done. Real photos beat stock images every time, and a short video walkthrough of your work dramatically boosts bookings.
Craft a short, clear title: Say plainly what you do and for whom, so customers instantly understand what they are booking.
Write a detailed description: Spell out what is included and what is not, how long the job usually takes, what you bring, and what you need from the customer. Most disputes start with something the customer assumed was included.
Set your service area: List the neighborhoods and ZIP codes you actually cover, so you only get requests you can take.
Collect reviews early: Your first few reviews are the hardest to get and the most valuable you will ever have. Ask happy customers to leave one — it costs nothing and moves you up the results.
Optimize for HardyAnt Search (SEO): To rank on the first page of search results, use the words customers actually type (for example, TV mounting, deep cleaning, gutter cleaning, IKEA assembly) and place them in your title, SEO meta title, tags, and description.

Promote your listing everywhere using your referral link!

Share your referral link across the places your customers actually are:
Start with people who already know you: Text your link to past customers and ask them to pass it along. In local services, word of mouth still outperforms every other channel.
Get into neighborhood spaces: Post in local Facebook groups, Nextdoor, HOA and community boards, and any group where homeowners in your area talk to each other.
Create a short video: Film a job from start to finish and post it on TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. Watching the work get done sells better than any description.
Publish a helpful post: Write a short guide on your own site or blog — how much a job like this usually costs, what to look for, what to avoid — and link through with your referral link.
Put it on your van and your card: A printed link or QR code on your vehicle, business card or invoice turns every job you finish into your next one.

Discounts & Coupons

Coupons & Promotional Discounts
You can create coupons and offer discounts on individual services or bundles. A clear promotional strategy helps you win first-time customers, keep the good ones coming back, and fill slow weeks.
Under the “Listings” tab in your dashboard, you will find the “Discounts” page: [https://hardyant.com/discounts/] (log in to your HardyAnt account to access).
Choose the type of discount you want to offer:
Percentage Discount: Set any percentage off the listed price of your service.
Fixed Discount: Offer a specific dollar amount off your regular price.
Time-limited offers work especially well for seasonal work and for filling an empty calendar — a first-clean discount or an off-season rate brings in customers who then rebook at full price.
