Preparing your page
An hour of preparation saves you an evening hunting for your prices.
What to have at hand before opening the editor: the question your customers ask most, your prices, your durations, and the photos you’re allowed to publish.
01 / Preparing your page
Start with the question you get asked most.
The question that comes up most often
Write down what people ask you ten times a week on the phone. Your hours? Your area? The price of a service? That question decides everything else: whatever answers it goes to the top of your page, the rest waits.
Its answer in one sentence, the way you say it out loud
A way to reach you that works today
02 / Preparing your page
Gather your figures before opening the editor.
Name, contents, duration, price, for each line
Looking up a price at the moment you type it means stopping at every line. First put the list down on a sheet of paper: the name of each service, what it includes, how long it takes, how much it costs. If you’re unsure about a price, write it anyway: it takes ten seconds to fix once the page is live.
Your hours day by day, closures included
Your service area, or your address and how to get there
03 / Preparing your page
Photos: your own, and the ones you’re allowed to show.
Your work, photographed up close and in daylight
A photo taken on your phone in daylight beats an image found online, and it won’t earn you a letter from a lawyer. A customer’s face, the name of a company you worked for, a photo of a job at someone’s home: all of that needs consent, even when the relationship is excellent.
Written consent before naming a customer
No image found online, even without a logo on it
04 / Preparing your page
Have it proofread by someone outside your profession.
The private link, before publication
You know your services by heart, so you no longer see what’s unclear about them. Your card has a private link before publication: send it to someone outside and ask them a single question, what would you do now? If they hesitate, the page is what’s hesitating.
A read-through on a phone, never on a computer
A single question: what would you do now?
Before you sign up
Your questions, simply.
How long is it free for?
What it costs
No end date. Not fourteen days, not three months: €0, and no bank card is ever asked of you, not at sign-up and not later. The other side of the deal is visible to the naked eye: the Bizleen brand stays displayed on your card, on its QR code and on the email signature it builds for you. Paying makes it go away, and that is all it changes.
Does my customer have to install an app?
How it works
Nothing to install, for them or for you. They point at the QR code with the camera already in their phone, your card opens on their side, they tap Add to contacts if they want to. The QR code opens your card, it does not save anything on its own: that is their move. iPhone and Android alike, with no account to create.
How long before my card exists?
How it works
The time it takes to type your name and choose your address. You add your photo, your number and your links whenever you want: nothing is blocked until everything is filled in. What takes time is not the card, it is the content that comes afterwards: detailing thirty or so services with their durations and prices takes an evening, sometimes three.
The first step is simple
A business to share.
A card to start with.
Publishing remains an explicit decision, after you confirm your email address.
