Tip: If you serve an area, even if you're not physically based there, choose the 'Zone' option while listing or updating your profile. Our system will make sure your business is visible in all relevant searches for that location.

• Appear in Search Results Beyond Your Physical Location Thanks to our unique 'Search by Zone' feature, you don not just show up in your locality, you show up wherever you can serve.

To understand better how our search system works, we recommend visiting the 'About Search' section.

To keep things simple and fair, we have divided all businesses and services into just two billing groups for the purpose of subscription fee. This grouping is based on the general earning potential of each business or service category. This classification is not intended to influence visibility or priority in search results.

Group 'A' includes individuals or businesses with relatively lower income potential. For them, we have set a fee that is significantly below the average market rate, intentionally affordable and accessible.

Group 'B' includes those with mid to higher earning capacity. Even here, our charges remain well below prevailing professional or standard market rates. Our goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of scale, can participate meaningfully without financial burden.

To understand it in more detail visit our section of Fee Structure

To ensure fairness, authenticity, and high-quality results for our users, only businesses with a valid and active subscription are displayed in search results on DesiUstad.

If a business subscription has expired, been suspended, or is inactive, the business profile will not be visible in search listings until the subscription is renewed.

By requiring an active subscription, we maintain a trusted directory where every listed business is verified, committed, and up to date. This policy helps customers find reliable service providers and ensures businesses gain genuine visibility when they choose to stay active in our network.

The Profile section is divided into two parts:

• 1. Personal Details - This includes your (or the owner's) basic personal information.
• 2. Business Portfolios - This section is for adding details about the businesses or services you offer.

For individual service providers, much of the information like contact number, email, and address may be the same in both sections. However, we still recommend entering it in both places for better clarity and visibility.

Add Multiple Business Portfolios :

If you manage more than one business or service, you can create multiple portfolios under the same account, one for each business. There is no limit; add as many as you need.
We strongly suggest filling out all fields, especially the 'Description', so that potential customers can get the most complete and helpful information about you.
