How to create an impactful Selyst Public Profile

Create and Improve Your Selyst Public Profile

Your public profile is one of the most important parts of your Selyst account.

Buyers who submit service requests on Selyst may view your public profile even before you contact them. When you purchase a lead, Selyst may also send the buyer a link to your public profile through WhatsApp.

This means a buyer may form an impression about your business before you send your first message or make your first call.

A complete and professional profile can help you:

  • Build trust with potential customers

  • Present your business professionally

  • Help buyers understand your services

  • Increase the likelihood of buyers answering your calls

  • Improve your chances of converting leads into customers

Sections of Your Public Profile

Your public profile is divided into three main sections:

  1. Business Info

  2. Branding and Media

  3. Services and Credentials

1. Business Info

The Business Info section contains the main information buyers may use to understand and contact your business.

Custom Profile URL

You can create a custom URL for your Selyst public profile.

This is the unique link buyers can use to view your profile.

Example:

https://www.selyst.com/professional/[YOUR-PROFILE-NAME]

Choose a URL that is simple, professional, and closely related to your business name.

Business Name

Enter the name of your business.

This can be the same business name you entered while creating your Selyst account.

Use the business name that customers are most likely to recognise.

Contact Phone Number and Email Address

You can provide a separate phone number and email address for communicating with buyers.

For example, you may use one phone number to log in to and manage your Selyst account, while using another business number to contact customers.

When configured, Selyst may share these contact details with the buyer after you purchase their lead. This helps the buyer understand which phone number they can expect a call from and which email address they can use to contact you.

Make sure the information is:

  • Correct

  • Regularly monitored

  • Used by the person responsible for contacting buyers

Tagline

Add a short tagline that explains what your business does or what makes it different.

Examples:

  • Professional photography for every occasion

  • Trusted legal support for individuals and businesses

  • Complete digital marketing solutions for growing businesses

Keep the tagline clear and easy to understand.

Business Description

Use the business description to explain:

  • What your business does

  • The customers you serve

  • Your key services

  • Your experience

  • What makes your business different

  • The locations you serve

Avoid using only one or two sentences. A detailed and well-written description can help buyers understand your business before speaking with you.

Website

Add your business website, if available.

Your website can help buyers learn more about your services, previous work, pricing approach, team, and experience.

Make sure the website link is complete and working.

Example:

https://www.yourcompany.com

Year Established

Enter the year in which your business was established.

This helps buyers understand how long you have been operating.

Languages Spoken

Select or add the languages in which you can communicate with buyers.

This is especially useful when buyers prefer to discuss their requirements in a regional or local language.

Only include languages in which you or your team can comfortably communicate with customers.

Pitch Presentation URL

The Pitch Presentation URL can be a link to a document or webpage that introduces your business.

It may include:

  • Your company presentation

  • Pitch deck

  • Business brochure

  • Portfolio

  • Service catalogue

  • Company profile

  • Case studies

  • Previous projects

You may use:

  • A Google Drive link

  • A link to a page on your website

  • A publicly accessible presentation

  • A publicly accessible PDF or brochure

Selyst may include this link in the WhatsApp message sent to the buyer after you purchase their lead.

This can help you create a stronger first impression before you speak with the buyer.

Important: Make sure the link is publicly accessible. Buyers should not have to request permission to open it.

2. Branding and Media

The Branding and Media section allows you to visually present your business.

Upload a clear and professional version of your business logo.

For the best result:

  • Use a high-quality image

  • Avoid blurry or stretched logos

  • Use a version that is easy to read

  • Avoid screenshots containing unnecessary background elements

Profile Picture

Add a professional profile picture of yourself or the main person who communicates with customers.

Use a clear photograph with:

  • Good lighting

  • A simple background

  • Your face clearly visible

  • Professional or business-appropriate clothing

A genuine profile picture can help make your business feel more trustworthy and approachable.

Business Photos

You can add up to five business photos.

Depending on your service, these photos may include:

  • Completed projects

  • Your office or workplace

  • Your team

  • Equipment

  • Before-and-after images

  • Events you have worked on

  • Products you have created

  • Examples of your work

Use original and relevant images wherever possible.

Do not upload unrelated stock photographs that do not accurately represent your business.

You can add links to your business profiles on:

  • Facebook

  • LinkedIn

  • Instagram

  • YouTube

Depending on the service category, Selyst may share a relevant social media link with the buyer.

Social media pages can help buyers review your work, activity, experience, and customer interactions before speaking with you.

Make sure your social media profiles are:

  • Publicly accessible

  • Active and up to date

  • Relevant to your services

  • Professionally presented

3. Services and Credentials

The Services and Credentials section helps buyers understand what you provide and why they should consider hiring you.

Services

You can add the individual services provided by your business.

These services do not need to exactly match the service categories available on Selyst.

For every service, add:

  • Service name

  • Service description

For example, a photographer may add:

  • Wedding Photography

  • Product Photography

  • Corporate Photography

  • Event Photography

  • Portrait Photography

  • Photo Editing

In the description, briefly explain what is included and who the service is suitable for.

Credentials may include:

  • Certifications

  • Licences

  • Professional qualifications

  • Industry memberships

  • Awards

  • Accreditations

  • Training certificates

  • Government registrations

  • Relevant professional experience

Add a clear description for each credential.

Where appropriate, mention:

  • The issuing organisation

  • The year it was received

  • The area of expertise covered

  • The validity period

Only add credentials that are genuine and relevant to your services.

  • Spelling and grammar

  • Contact information

  • Image quality

  • Website and social media links

  • Pitch presentation access

  • Service descriptions

  • Credential information
