Before you start

Have these handy.

  • Your business name and a working email address
  • Your business registration number (optional, but it earns a verified badge)
  • Your area / address and how far you'll travel (coverage radius)
  • Prices for what you offer — you decide these
  • A cover photo and a few work samples (phone photos are fine)

The steps

Five steps to your first booking.

  1. ~3 min

    Register & verify

    Open Add Your Business, create your account, and verify your email (check spam if it's not in your inbox). Add your business registration number for the verified badge.

  2. ~2 min

    Set your location & radius

    Type your address or tap Use current location, then set how far you'll travel. This decides which clients can find you in “near me” searches.

  3. ~5 min

    Add your first service

    Pick a category and add the sub-categories you cover (tap to add; choose Other to type your own). Name the service, set your price, and upload photos.

  4. ~3 min

    Set how it's booked

    Choose by the day or by time slot, add a duration and cool-down if relevant, and set your capacity — or tick “Doesn't matter” if you never run out. Skip any technical detail you don't know; it's all optional.

  5. ~2 min

    Set availability & go live

    Close any days you don't work (e.g. Sundays), then save. You're live — clients can now find you, request a booking, and pay by card.

That's it. Bookings arrive in your dashboard. Approve one, request payment, get paid — and each completed job builds your reviews.

Tips to get booked faster

Small things that win jobs.

  • Use clear, well-lit photos of real work — the cover image is the first thing clients see.
  • Write a short, honest description and add search tags (e.g. “wedding, corporate, VIP”).
  • Keep your availability up to date so you only get requests you can fulfil.
  • Reply to requests quickly — fast approvals convert into more paid bookings.
  • Ask happy clients to rate you; reviews move you up in search.

Good to know: Serv YU is free to use — no listing fees, no subscriptions. We take a flat 10% only when you complete a paid booking, and you always set your own prices. And no, you can't book your own service. 🙂
