Browsing is open. Sign in to save profiles, follow a business, send a message request or book a listed service when booking is offered.
- Open Services & Businesses. Search by service, skill, business name, city, locality or PIN code.
- Use your location only when nearby results matter. Leave distance off for a wider list.
- Open All search when you want Products, Jobs, Real Estate, Bizit and B2B in one place.
A profile shows the business name, specialty, services, service area, hours, photos, ratings and any credentials the owner entered.
- Send a message request from the profile. The professional must accept before the conversation opens in Messages. Your phone number stays private.
- If the profile offers booking, pick a service from their menu, choose a time and submit. Quotes and changes stay on that booking.
- Agree scope, price, timing, materials and deliverables in writing before work begins.
Compare a few providers on scope, timing and written price before you commit. Ratings help you shortlist; they do not replace your own checks.
- Ask for references, licences or insurance when the work needs them.
- Prefer milestones and invoices you can keep, not cash-only urgency.
- If a booking quote changes, read the update on that booking before you accept.
If something feels wrong
#- Use Report on the profile for spam, impersonation or unsafe claims.
- Open the Safety Centre for Services & Businesses checks. Raise a support ticket for account help.
- End contact if someone asks for passwords, OTPs, remote-access codes or unnecessary identity documents.
Still stuck? Open a ticket from Help & support, or read the Safety Centre if something looks wrong.
