Boost your marketplace visibility
In this guide, you'll learn how to optimize your Fresha account to boost your business visibility in the Fresha marketplace.
Boost your marketplace visibility
After creating and publishing your online profile, your business will be ready to accept bookings from new clients.
Clients around the world use Fresha’s Marketplace every day to book their appointments, searching for treatments, browsing venues, and filtering by price, distance, and real-time availability. By fully optimizing your Fresha account, you can increase your exposure in the marketplace and reach more potential clients.
To increase your visibility on the Fresha marketplace, follow these recommended steps:
Review account settings
Check your business location to ensure your location is accurate. Even if you operate as a mobile business, you’ll need to specify a valid service area so clients can find you in relevant marketplace searches.
Enable payment processing to accept payments through the app or in-store terminals, and securely store clients’ card details for a fast, seamless checkout experience.
Set up a late cancellation policy or upfront payments to reduce no-shows by as much as 90%.
Schedule and check out appointments each day in your Fresha calendar, even if they were booked outside of Fresha, to keep your schedule up to date and organized.
Ensure that team member shifts are accurate so available time slots for future bookings display correctly.

Once your marketplace profile is published, your business can start accepting online bookings immediately. Clients can begin booking appointments with your business through Book now buttons, booking links and Reserve with Google. As your Fresha business gains client reviews, sales, and appointments, your profile may begin appearing in Fresha marketplace search results for your area.
It can take up to 14 days for your marketplace profile to appear in search results. To help meet visibility criteria and improve your ranking, we recommend:
Your marketplace profile will be labelled as "Listed" if it’s live on the Fresha marketplace and open for online bookings, or "Unlisted" if it has been removed from the marketplace and online bookings are disabled. If you didn’t manually unlist your profile, it may have been automatically unlisted due to inactivity.
You can enable online bookings and re-publish your profile at any time by opening the Marketplace profile tab in the platform and selecting Publish.
