Think of it as the shareable front door.
A public profile gives someone a clean place to learn who you are, what you do, what you sound or look like, and whether you may be a good fit. It can represent an individual, a group, or a host organization.
| Profile type | How to think about it |
|---|---|
| Performer or personal profile | Use this when the public page represents one person. It should show what you do, where you work, and the kind of gigs you want people to connect you with. |
| Group profile | Use this when the public page represents a band, team, act, or roster. The page should explain what the group offers as a unit. |
| Host profile | Use this when the public page represents a venue, host, organizer, or event business. The page should help people understand the room, brand, or booking style. |
Marketplace settings decide whether a profile can be found in searches. The public profile is the page people see when they open or share that profile.
From basic profile to polished public page.
- Open Marketplace, then Accounts, and choose the profile you want to manage.
- Open the public profile link so you can see what visitors see.
- Check the name, profile picture, description, location, specialties, Reputation, reviews, and availability.
- Use the media library to add photos, video, and audio that show what the profile is like in real life.
- Open the Album view to make sure the media feels easy to browse.
- Add website links for helpful outside pages, such as a portfolio, booking page, ticket page, or music site.
- Share the public profile link anywhere someone should be able to learn more.
What someone can learn from the profile.
Profile story
Visitors see the name, profile type, location when available, description, and specialties. This is the quick read on who the profile represents.
Trust signals
Reputation, verified gig history, reviews, and other profile signals help visitors feel more confident before they reach out.
Media
Photos, video, and audio give visitors something to hear, watch, or browse instead of relying only on text.
Website links
Public links near the top of the profile can point visitors to helpful outside pages.
Availability
When availability is shown, visitors can get a better sense of whether the profile may fit the timing they have in mind.
Start with the details people scan first.
Before adding a lot of media, make sure the basics are clear: a recognizable photo or logo, a short description, specialties that fit the work, and a location when location matters. These details help the profile make sense in Marketplace and when someone opens the direct public link.
The best descriptions sound like a helpful introduction. Say what the person, group, or host is known for and what kind of work they are a good fit for.
Use the album to show the profile in action.
The profile media area can show photos, videos, and audio. When there is more to browse, visitors can open the Album view and move through the media in a larger, focused view.
Images
Photos are useful for headshots, band photos, venue shots, stage setups, event rooms, crowd moments, and other visual proof of the work.
Videos
Video helps visitors feel the performance, room, energy, or production style before they reach out.
Audio
Audio gives performers and groups a simple way to let people hear the sound without sending a separate file.
- Lead with the strongest photo or video because the profile hero is the first thing people notice.
- Use images that show the person, group, venue, stage, crowd, setup, or atmosphere clearly.
- Add video when movement, sound, room feel, or performance energy matters.
- Add audio when someone should be able to hear the sound before they contact you.
- Remove older media when it no longer matches the work, look, or bookings you want.
Public profile albums are strongest when every item has a purpose. Choose media that helps someone understand the real experience behind the profile.
Point visitors to the next useful page.
Website links appear near the top of the public profile. Add links that help someone learn more, hear more, buy tickets, see a portfolio, read a press kit, or contact the right place.
Use clear labels
A label tells visitors what they are opening. A clear label is better than a vague one.
Choose useful destinations
Send people to pages that support booking, listening, watching, learning, buying, or contacting.
- Use labels that make the destination obvious, such as Portfolio, Booking, Tickets, YouTube, Instagram, Website, or Press Kit.
- Link to pages that help someone take the next step, not every page you have.
- Check links after adding them so visitors do not land on a broken or private page.
- Keep the most useful links on the profile and remove stale pages.
