How to Get More Customers on Khidmat
Getting discovered by potential customers is the first step to growing your service business. Here’s how to maximize your visibility on Khidmat.
Optimize Your Profile for Search
When customers search for services, Khidmat’s algorithm considers several factors:
- Complete your profile 100% — Profiles with all sections filled out rank higher in search results
- Use relevant keywords — Include specific services you offer in your business description (e.g., “wiring repair” not just “electrical work”)
- Set accurate service areas — Be specific about the neighborhoods and cities you serve
Response Time Matters
Customers often contact multiple providers. The faster you respond, the more likely you are to win the job.
- Aim to respond within 15 minutes during business hours
- Set up quick reply templates for common inquiries (Pro feature)
- Enable notifications so you never miss a lead
Providers who respond within 30 minutes are 3x more likely to convert leads into paying customers.
Build Your Reputation
Reviews are the currency of trust on Khidmat:
- Ask happy customers to leave reviews — Most satisfied customers will review if asked
- Respond to all reviews — Thank positive reviewers and address concerns professionally
- Deliver consistent quality — One great review is worth more than ten mediocre ones
Stay Active on the Platform
Regular activity signals to our algorithm that you’re an engaged provider:
