How to Create a Successful Listing in 2025 – Step-by-Step Guide for SimpleServiceFinder Users

Planning to post an ad on SimpleServiceFinder? Pause for a second. A great listing isn’t just a few words and a photo – it’s your chance to get real responses and build trust with people who need your service. This guide will walk you through how to create a better listing, step by step, using the form – and show you what to avoid if you want to boost your visibility without spending more.

1. Listing Title – Your First 180 Characters of Impact

You have up to 180 characters for your title. Don’t waste them on generic phrases like “Cleaning services.” Try something like: “Flat and house cleaning in Leeds – fast booking, fair pricing”. A good title includes the service, location, and one strong selling point (availability, price, quality).

2. Category, Location and Price – Core Filters That Matter

Users often filter listings by location or category, so make sure yours fits the service you provide. If you work remotely or travel to clients, mention it clearly. Add your pricing or select “negotiable” – it shows flexibility without leaving the field empty.

3. Description – Speak the Language of Benefits

The “Description” field is your chance to tell a compelling story. Don’t just write “I do renovation work.” Try something like: “I offer full bathroom and kitchen renovations – clean, on time, and with attention to detail. Over 10 years of experience. Client reviews and photos available below.”
Structure your description into clear sections: what you offer, for whom, why it matters, and how the process works. Use paragraphs, highlight key information in bold, and link to other services or testimonials if applicable. Also remember – SimpleServiceFinder includes a review system. Good ratings speak louder than any words.

4. Images and Videos – Visuals That Speak for You

Good images build trust. Add clear, bright, real-life photos of your work, workspace or yourself in action. You can also paste up to 3 YouTube video links into your listing. If you have a video showing your service, skills or results – include it. Only use materials you have the rights to share.

5. Contact Details and Availability – Build Confidence

The listing form allows you to add your phone number, email and working hours. Be specific – users are more likely to contact someone who looks professional and responsive. If you’re only available evenings or weekends, mention it. Save people the guesswork.

6. Multilingual Listings – Better Understanding, Broader Reach

SimpleServiceFinder allows you to create listings in multiple languages. While English remains the default, you can also add your offer in Polish or Romanian – and more languages are coming soon. This flexibility helps you present your service in the way that feels most natural to you, with no language barrier in the way.

Multilingual listings increase trust and visibility. They connect you with people who prefer to read in their native language – without excluding anyone. If you decide to publish your ad in more than one language, keep the structure consistent and make sure each version is accurate. Translation tools like DeepL can help, but always double-check or ask someone to proofread your text.

In 2025, clarity and accessibility matter more than ever. Language should not be a barrier – it should be a bridge.

7. Promote Your Listing Outside the Platform

Once published, don’t just wait. Share your listing link on local Facebook groups, WhatsApp, Instagram Stories or neighbourhood forums. Add a short, engaging message and a screenshot. For example: “Need help moving? Check out my new listing – available now!”

8. Common Mistakes – Avoid These

• Generic titles without location or unique value
• Text in one long paragraph with no structure
• No images or poor-quality photos (dark, blurry)
• Missing contact details or unclear availability
• No video even if one is available
• Translated text that hasn't been proofread

9. Final Checklist Before You Publish

• Does your title include location, service and one standout feature?
• Is your description well-structured, readable and useful?
• Did you include at least 2 clear, relevant images?
• If you have a YouTube video – did you paste the link?
• Are your contact details and availability complete?
• Did you consider adding the listing in another language?
