Your Profile<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before a single client sees anything, there&#8217;s a bit of groundwork that has to happen first.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Required_Documents_Before_You_Can_Even_Start\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Required Documents Before You Can Even

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blys Pro app or website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> means submitting your qualifications, identification, insurance, and any other certifications relevant to the services you&#8217;re offering, before your profile can go live. This isn&#8217;t a formality to rush through. It&#8217;s what lets clients trust that the person turning up is who they say they are, and it&#8217;s the same paperwork that protects you if anything ever needs to be looked into later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Service_Areas_and_Travel_Radius\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Service Areas and Travel Radius<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting your service area and travel radius during sign-up controls where jobs actually come from, and it&#8217;s worth setting this deliberately rather than leaving it on a default. A radius that&#8217;s too wide means driving further than you&#8217;d like for a job that barely covers the trip, and one that&#8217;s too narrow means missing out on bookings that would&#8217;ve been perfectly reasonable. Both service area and travel radius can be adjusted later too, so getting it slightly wrong at the start isn&#8217;t permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/help.getblys.com\/providers\/how-can-i-set-up-my-service-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Setting up a service area<\/a> is simple enough through the app. For anyone who wants more precise control than a simple radius offers, there&#8217;s also a guide on <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/draw-custom-service-area-on-your-map-blys-pro-app\/\">drawing a custom service area on the map<\/a> in the Blys Pro app.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Business_Details_and_Profile_Settings\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Details and Profile Settings<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your documents and details are submitted, your profile goes through a review by the Provider Success Team before it&#8217;s approved and active, and from there you can <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customize <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">services offered, availability, notifications, business details, and reporting settings. Filling all of this in properly the first time, rather than leaving half of it for later, is what actually gets a profile ready to start earning as soon as it&#8217;s approved.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photo_and_Bio_Tips\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo and Bio Tips<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The photo and bio are doing the actual convincing once a client lands on your profile, and most new providers underinvest in both.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos_That_Actually_Show_Your_Work\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photos That Actually Show Your Work<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A blurry photo from three haircuts ago is not doing anyone any favors, least of all you. A clear, well-lit photo of you, plus a few real shots of your setup or previous work where relevant, tells a client far more in a few seconds than a paragraph of text ever could. Stock photos and overly filtered shots usually read as exactly what they are, and clients notice the difference between a real setup and a borrowed one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Bio_That_Sounds_Like_a_Person_Not_a_Brochure\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Bio That Sounds Like a Person, Not a Brochure<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A bio that says <em>passionate about wellness and helping others<\/em> could belong to literally any provider on the platform, which is exactly the problem. Naming actual specialties, how long you&#8217;ve been doing this, and what a client can actually expect from booking you says more in three sentences than a page of generic wellness language ever manages. Write it the way you&#8217;d actually describe yourself to a new client standing in front of you, not the way a brochure would, and if writing isn&#8217;t your strong suit, <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/let-ai-write-your-bio-because-youve-got-better-things-to-do\/\">letting AI write a first draft<\/a> is a reasonable shortcut as long as it still sounds like you once it&#8217;s done.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Comfortable_With_the_Pro_Dashboard\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting Comfortable With the Pro Dashboard<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your profile is approved, the Pro Dashboard becomes the actual hub for running things day to day, and it&#8217;s worth getting familiar with early rather than only learning it under pressure once bookings start coming in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bookings_Earnings_and_Profile_Settings_in_One_Place\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bookings, Earnings, and Profile Settings in One Place<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dashboard&#8217;s main sections, Bookings, Earnings, and Profile, cover most of what actually needs checking regularly: reviewing and responding to requests, tracking what&#8217;s been paid out, and keeping your details current as things change. Notifications for booking requests, confirmations, updates, reminders, and cancellations all come through the same system, so nothing important gets missed by checking email instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Messaging_Stays_on_the_Platform_for_a_Reason\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Messaging Stays on the Platform for a Reason<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once a booking is confirmed, messaging with a client happens within Blys rather than through a personal number, which keeps communication private and gives both sides a clear record if anything ever needs checking back on. This isn&#8217;t a limitation to work around. It&#8217;s part of what keeps the whole system trustworthy for clients and providers alike, and there&#8217;s more on <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/stay-connected-with-your-provider-on-the-blys-website\/\">staying connected with clients through the Blys website<\/a> for anyone wanting the full picture of how that communication works.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Earnings_Tax_Documents_and_Tips_All_Live_in_One_Section\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earnings, Tax Documents, and Tips All Live in One Section<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Earnings section tracks payout summaries, tax invoices, and end-of-financial-year documentation, which removes a fair amount of admin that would otherwise need to be pieced together manually. Tips can also come through before, during, or after a session, and they show up in the same place as everything else rather than needing to be tracked separately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_Your_Services_and_Rates\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting Your Services and Rates<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where a profile turns into an actual bookable business, and it&#8217;s worth taking as seriously as the photo and bio.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Listing_Services_Clearly_Instead_of_Vaguely\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listing Services Clearly Instead of Vaguely<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naming exactly what you offer, rather than a broad catch-all category, helps the right clients find you and skips the back-and-forth of explaining what&#8217;s actually included once someone&#8217;s already messaged. A specific service list also does real work for how you show up in a client&#8217;s search, since vague listings are hard for anyone to match to what they&#8217;re actually looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_Rates_That_Match_What_You_Actually_Offer\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting Rates That Match What You Actually Offer<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Standard rates for each service are set by Blys rather than chosen freely by each provider, which takes a lot of the guesswork out of pricing for anyone just starting out. When a booking request actually comes in, providers can <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/help.getblys.com\/providers\/how-to-offer-my-preferred-payout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offer a preferred payout<\/a> on that specific booking rather than being locked into a single fixed number, though it can&#8217;t be set below the platform&#8217;s standard rate, and for corporate bookings it&#8217;s capped at no more than 20% above it. This isn&#8217;t available on Home Care bookings, which stick to the standard rate throughout. An offer can be updated or removed at any point before it&#8217;s accepted, and removing it simply means the booking proceeds at the standard payout instead.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Availability_That_Reflects_Reality_Not_Optimism\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Availability That Reflects Reality, Not Optimism<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting working hours and available dates that match what you can actually deliver, rather than what looks impressive on paper, means the jobs coming through are ones you can actually take on. Availability can be adjusted through both the app and web platform as things change, so it&#8217;s worth treating as a living setting rather than something locked in once at the start.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Mistakes_New_Providers_Make\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Mistakes New Providers Make<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few mistakes show up often enough among new providers to be worth naming outright, since most of them are easy to avoid once flagged.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leaving_the_Profile_Half-Finished_After_Approval\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaving the Profile Half-Finished After Approval<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting approved and then leaving half the optional fields blank is a common way a new provider limits their own bookings without meaning to. Notifications, reporting preferences, and full business details all contribute to how complete and trustworthy a profile looks, and skipping them doesn&#8217;t save real time, it just leaves bookings on the table.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ignoring_Reviews_and_Referrals_Once_Youre_Live\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ignoring Reviews and Referrals Once You&#8217;re Live<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clients and providers rate each other after every completed booking, and a growing set of reviews does real work for building trust with new clients who haven&#8217;t booked you before. The referral program is worth using too: turns out convincing a fellow provider to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/app.getblys.com\/provider-signup?utm_source=website-blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=building-provider-profile-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">set up their own provider profile<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and complete 3 bookings pays actual cash, with a $100 bonus once a referred provider completes their first three bookings, which is a rare referral scheme that doesn&#8217;t just get you a coffee voucher.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_Availability_Too_Narrow_or_Too_Broad\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting Availability Too Narrow or Too Broad<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New providers often either lock their availability down so tightly that barely any bookings fit, or leave it wide open and end up double-booked or overwhelmed. Reviewing and adjusting availability regularly, rather than setting it once and forgetting about it, keeps the bookings coming through matching what you can actually deliver. The same goes for<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/ca\/blog\/screen-manage-client-bookings-mobile-provider\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">screening bookings once they start coming in<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, since a busy calendar is only a good thing if every booking on it is one you actually want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A complete, well-set-up profile is what turns approval into actual bookings, and it&#8217;s worth getting right the first time rather than patching it up later. Getting your documents, photos, bio, and rates sorted properly from the start is where all of this pays off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.getblys.com\/provider-signup?utm_source=website-blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=building-provider-profile-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build Your Provider Profile \u2192<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Do_I_Need_to_Set_Up_a_Blys_Provider_Profile\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Do I Need to Set Up a Blys Provider Profile?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting up a profile means submitting your qualifications, identification, insurance, and any relevant certifications, along with your service area and travel radius preferences, before your profile goes through a review by the Provider Success Team. Once approved, you can <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customize <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">services offered, availability, notifications, and business details.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Make_My_Provider_Profile_Get_More_Bookings\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Do I Make My Provider Profile Get More Bookings?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A complete profile with clear photos, a specific bio, and clearly listed services usually attracts more bookings than one left half-finished after approval. Setting realistic availability and rates that reflect your actual experience and services also plays a big part in whether the right clients find and book you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Should_I_Include_in_My_Provider_Bio\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Should I Include in My Provider Bio?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A strong bio names your actual specialties, how long you&#8217;ve been working, and what a client can expect from booking you, rather than generic wellness language that could apply to anyone. Writing it the way you&#8217;d describe yourself to a client in person usually works better than a more formal, brochure-style bio.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Set_My_Own_Rates_as_a_New_Provider\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I Set My Own Rates as a New Provider?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not upfront. Standard rates for each service are set by Blys, though once a booking request comes in, a preferred payout can be offered on that specific job, as long as it&#8217;s not below the platform&#8217;s standard rate. Corporate bookings cap this at no more than 20% above the standard rate, and Home Care bookings don&#8217;t allow an alternate offer at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Change_My_Availability_or_Service_Area_After_Signing_Up\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I Change My Availability or Service Area After Signing Up?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, both availability and service area or travel radius can be adjusted through the app or web platform at any time after your profile is approved. Treating these as settings you revisit regularly, rather than locking them in once, keeps the bookings coming through matching what you can actually take on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Can_I_Do_From_the_Blys_Pro_Dashboard\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Can I Do From the Blys Pro Dashboard?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dashboard covers Bookings, Earnings, and Profile settings in one place, letting you review and respond to requests, track payouts, and keep your details current without switching between different tools. Notifications for booking requests, confirmations, and cancellations come through the same system automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Get_Paid_and_Track_My_Earnings_as_a_Blys_Provider\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Do I Get Paid and Track My Earnings as a Blys Provider?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Earnings section tracks payout summaries, tax invoices, and end-of-financial-year documentation, along with any tips received before, during, or after a session. Everything sits in one place rather than needing to be pieced together from separate records.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_the_Blys_Referral_Program_Work\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does the Blys Referral Program Work?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providers can refer other providers using a unique referral code, and once a referred provider completes their first three bookings, the referring provider receives a $100 bonus. Total referrals and earnings generated through the program are tracked in the app alongside your other account details.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#faf1eb&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;3%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;3%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sign_Up_as_a_Provider_on_Blys\"><\/span>Sign Up as a Provider on Blys<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=&#8221;jumbo&#8221; open_new_tab=&#8221;true&#8221; button_style=&#8221;regular&#8221; button_color_2=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;Book Now&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/app.getblys.com\/provider-signup?utm_source=website-blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=building-provider-profile-guide&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text] A profile that&#8217;s 60% filled out reads like a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1919,"featured_media":78279,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"Building Your Blys Provider Profile: Step-by-Step | Blys","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Not sure how to set up a Blys provider profile that actually gets bookings?
