Provider readiness checklist

Use this checklist to prepare your profile, services, verification, permissioned proof and support path before relying on customer-facing trust signals. It helps you get ready without creating ranking, price competition or price-race pressure.

Profile basics

Customers can understand who you are, where you help and how to ask a question.

Ready when:

Name, service area, contact path and plain-language intro are complete.

Review profile

Services you can safely support

Your services are described clearly without overpromising or using confusing technical wording.

Ready when:

Each service has a simple description, safe scope and next-step wording.

Review services

Verification and manual review

Admin can check your readiness before customer-facing trust signals are relied on.

Ready when:

Required verification details are provided and waiting for, or have passed, manual review.

Review verification

Permissioned proof only

Any proof, testimonial or example work is permissioned and manually approved before public use.

Ready when:

Proof is either permissioned and reviewed, or the page shows a safe no-proof-yet fallback.

Review proof guidance

Support and escalation clarity

Customers know how to ask a question, add details or raise a concern without sharing private codes.

Ready when:

Support links and safe-contact guidance are visible before real customer work.

Open support guidance

Important: This checklist is private readiness guidance. It is not a customer-visible score and does not rank providers.

Provider path: get ready, stay clear, wait for approval

Use this path to explain the services you can genuinely support, complete verification, and prepare customer-safe proof before any customer work is shown or assigned.

Keep the journey consistent:

Confirm your service area and contact details.
Add only services you can safely deliver.
Complete verification and trust/proof readiness before customer work.

Guardrail: This is not a provider comparison, price competition, price competition board or price competition. Work remains controlled by approval and manual review.
