The provider profile allows Thriver customers to discover your business and services you have to offer. These requirements and best practices that we’ve outlined act as a guide to help increase your presence on the Thriver marketplace and build brand awareness for your business.
How the provider profile is displayed on Thriver:
Provider name - The name of your company as it is publicly displayed
Provider avatar - A symbol or logo that identifies your company, usually made up of text, imagery or graphics
Provider profile banner image - Prominent graphic that customers see when visiting your profile
Provider profile description - A bio or overview of your company, the value you bring to customers, and any awards, PR, or recognition you want to highlight
We recommend having a description that is within 150-300 characters

For SEO purposes, we suggest having a profile description that is different than what you have displayed on your own website or other marketing channels

Provider messaging tool - A way for customers to be able to get in touch with you and ask questions related to your provide profile or services listed

Tips & best practices for provider profile images
It’s important to create clear and aesthetically pleasing banner images that convey what your company is about. Below are some tips for creating a compelling provider profile banner image.
Design for correct dimensions and resolution to ensure your brand looks professional
Use a visual style that aligns with your branding
E.g. if you have a hand-drawn logo, consider other hand-drawn elements in the banner; if your logo is geometric, use geometric shapes in the banner to create a cohesive look; you can also incorporate similar colors from your logo in your banner image
Create collages to showcase exciting photography of your hosts, services, and offerings
Use text sparingly
If you choose to include text, ensure that it is positioned in the center of the image so it doesn’t cut off on responsive sizes
Be sure that any text over top of images has enough contrast with the background, making it easy to read
