How to significantly improve the profile of a tour guide on the Private Guide World platform

At PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD, we value our user experience and want you to get the most out of your profile on the PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD at www.pg.world platform. We understand that your time is precious, but we believe that a little extra effort can go a long way in attracting more customers and growing your business. Our team is always ready to help you if you need help or have any questions. 

When editing a profile, please follow simple rules to quickly and successfully pass moderation.

Upload Image Policy

The image should be of good quality and your face should be clear and in focus. You must be alone in this picture, using other people's images is a criminal offense! Our service is designed to search for private tour guides, so our tourists need to see precisely what their tour guide looks like, they will not be happy to see your company logo or any other abstract image in place of the avatar. They don't care about the company, but they CARE about your appearance!

And very often a good picture on the avatar becomes the main reason why tourists choose one tour guide, not another! If the profile did not pass moderation but was rejected, it means it is not visible to our platform visitors until the avatar change. 

We understand that uploading and editing photos can sometimes be a daunting task. To make your experience on our platform even smoother, we've released a new ten-minute tutorial video. This video walks you through the process step-by-step, addressing common challenges faced by tour guides during this process. We've used three different examples to ensure comprehensive coverage of the topic. This video is currently available in English on our YouTube channel @PrivateGuideWorld + with 31 different languages subtitles. Just turn them on when you start watching the video by tapping the CC button on the video screen. We will soon release versions in all other languages which our platform uses daily ensuring clarity and accessibility for our diverse community. Press the picture below to watch this video on our YouTube channel or follow the direct link https://youtu.be/8CEtQMo-FF8

When you will be satisfied with rotating and scaling the photo, don't forget to press the green button ✅ as confirmation of your final choice and then SAVE at the bottom of the page to save any new information or images you added during editing!

Regarding professional documents such as licenses, certificates, and diplomas

This feature is optional, but of course, tourists trust more profiles that have official proof of skills, education, etc. Please do not upload any other photos or business cards, they will still be rejected.

First and last name fields

This field can only contain the names and surnames of private guides. No company name, no other words. Our service is designed to search for private local tour guides, so our tourists need to know the real name of the tour guide, they will not be happy to see your company name or any other text. They don't care about your company, but they DO care about you as a person!

Contact information in the public part of the tour guide profile

Please note that no contact details (phone numbers, website links, messages, email addresses, social media profiles) are allowed in the public part of the tour guide profile or tour description, including images or other attached files. You can always share your contacts in private messages with your tourists.
