Your cover photo is the key photo for your business, and will be the first thing clients see when they search for services or view your profile. Choosing the right image for your Cover Photo helps your business stand out to bring in more bookings. The first impression is important - make sure it represents your brand and professionalism. 

The basics:

✅ Format: JPEG or PNG format photos 

✅ Use high resolution photos: Images that are too small will look distorted or pixelated on your profile. Use a high-resolution smartphone camera or quality camera - the bigger the photo, the better.

✅ Use high quality photos: Make sure your photo is well-lit

✅ Use landscape or horizontal photos (turn that phone sideways! 😉)

❌ Don’t use stock photos - clients want to know you’re real! Show them you’re a legitimate business they can trust by using a professional logo or real photo at the top of your profile.

Types of photos for cover photos (with examples):

A nice image of your space or business: Show off the environment where your client will experience your service.

Your logo: A clean design of your logo can look great on your profile and sets the tone for your brand. 

Your most eye-catching and impressive work:

A photo of you: Let people know who will be doing their service. A great photo of you with a client can go a long way!
