Your profile photo and display name are key touchpoints for prospective clients. Ensuring they are professional and easily recognizable helps build trust and credibility.

Profile Photo Guidelines

If you don’t have a recent professional headshot, now is a great time to take one! Follow these tips for the best results:

• Dress professionally – Solid colors work best.
• Use a simple, clutter-free background – A blank wall or neutral outdoor setting is ideal. No other people or pets should be in the photo.
• Ensure good lighting – Natural light from a window or an outdoor setting works best. Avoid harsh shadows or glare on your face.
• Frame your photo properly – Position the camera a few feet in front of you, capturing your full face from the chest or neck up. If using a phone, portrait mode helps keep the focus on you.
• Adjust for the best fit – When uploading, use the repositioning tool to center your image within the circular frame.

Customizing Your Display Name

You can personalize the first and last name shown to clients and choose whether to display a title after your name.

• Use your preferred professional name (e.g., Mike instead of Michael, or a maiden name if applicable).
• Keep it searchable—avoid abbreviations like "Dr. A" in your display name. If you prefer a nickname or informal title, include it in your written bio instead.

These small adjustments help ensure clients can find and connect with you easily on the platform.
