If you're setting up a new profile on Xcortly, here's the order that actually matters — what to fill out first so your profile looks complete rather than half-finished.

Start With the Essentials

Before worrying about a perfectly worded bio, get the basics in place: your name, city, rates, and availability. A complete-but-plain profile books better than a beautifully written one that's missing your rates.

Photos

A handful of recent, clear photos matter more than a large gallery of older ones. Clients consistently favour profiles where the photos look current and consistent with each other.

Service List and Booking Options

List incall, outcall, or both clearly, along with the services you actually offer — using the same terms clients search for makes your profile easier to find and reduces awkward back-and-forth before a booking. See our terminology glossary for the standard abbreviations clients expect to see.

Policies

A short, clear line on deposits, cancellations, and screening saves time for both sides. Vague or missing policies are one of the most common reasons a first message goes nowhere.

Keep It Current

Update your availability and touring dates as they change — an outdated profile is one of the fastest ways to lose a booking to someone else nearby.
