Step 10: Cover Photos
Your cover is the wide banner that sits across the top of your public profile — the first thing a buyer sees before they read a single word about you. Add one or more images here and they appear as a full-width banner; add several and buyers can swipe through them.
Where Your Cover Shows Up
Covers render as a wide 16:9 banner at the very top of your profile, so landscape images fit best — a tall portrait photo will be cropped. Upload more than one and they turn into a swipeable carousel. Like your portfolio images, covers upload straight from your device.
What Makes a Cover Work
✓ Your own work — finished projects, active job sites, or real client results
✓ Sharp and high-resolution — it is shown large, so softness is obvious
✓ Clearly tied to what you do, not a generic backdrop or landscape
✓ Wide framing — leave room on the sides so nothing important sits at the very edge
Cover Photo Ideas
- ·A finished project — a remodeled kitchen, a clean installation, or a landscaped yard
- ·Your crew or your tools on an active job site
- ·A wide shot of your best completed work
Important
Stock photos are easy to spot and quietly signal that the rest of the profile might not be original either. A real photo of your own work always beats a polished stock image.
Best Practice
Reach for one of your portfolio images first. It is the most honest choice, and it previews exactly what buyers will find when they scroll down. You can always swap or add covers later from your profile editor.
