Stand Out. Rank Higher. Attract the Right Clients.
So you’ve listed your business on Net Circle—great first step! But simply being listed isn’t enough. To truly benefit, you need business profile optimization so it shows up in searches, attracts your target audience, and builds trust.
Let’s walk you through 9 smart ways to optimize your Net Circle profile for maximum visibility and engagement.
Craft a Powerful Business Title
Your business title is the first impression potential clients get when browsing listings on Net Circle. It also plays a major role in how easily your profile is discovered through search—both within Net Circle and on Google.
Why Your Title Matters:
It impacts your visibility in search results
It shapes your credibility and click-through rate
It’s what users compare first when browsing multiple businesses in the same category
What Makes a Great Title?
To optimize your title, follow this 3-part formula:
Business Name + Core Service + Target Audience/Industry
Formula Breakdown:
| Element | Example | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Business Name | “ABC Ltd.” | Builds brand recognition |
| Core Service | “– Ecommerce SEO Services” | Tells what you do |
| Target Industry | “for Online Retailers” | Clarifies who you help |
Write a Customer-Focused Business Description
Your business description is your elevator pitch—but shorter. On Net Circle, you have a 500-character limit, so every word needs to work hard.
This short paragraph is what potential clients read to decide whether to click, call, or move on. A generic or vague description wastes the opportunity.
What Your Description Must Include:
Who you are
Mention your profession or business type clearly.
Example: “We are a UK-based accounting firm…”What you offer
Clearly list your core services or specializations.
Example: “…offering tax filing, payroll management, and financial reporting…”Why someone should choose you
Communicate your unique value—what makes you better or different.
Example: “…tailored solutions for small businesses and startups.”
Structure Formula
[Who You Are] + [What You Offer] + [Your Unique Advantage or Benefit]
Weak vs. Strong Examples:
| ❌ Weak Description | ✅ Optimized Description |
|---|---|
| “We are the best marketing company in town.” | “Helping local businesses grow faster with result-driven digital marketing & SEO.” |
| “We do accounting and finance work.” | “London-based accountants helping startups manage payroll, tax returns, and financial strategy with ease.” |
| “We offer website design.” | “Designing fast, responsive websites for ecommerce brands that drive sales and reduce bounce rates.” |
Tips to Make It Great
Avoid generic phrases like “best in the industry” or “we are passionate”
Use action words like “helping,” “delivering,” “boosting,” “solving”
Focus on your client’s pain points and how you solve them
Tailor your language to your audience—speak directly to who you serve
Pro Tip: Write two or three versions and read them aloud. Choose the one that sounds most natural and benefit-driven.
You can also test it using this rule:
“Would someone want to work with me after reading this sentence?”
If not, rewrite it until it’s clear, concise, and compelling.
Choose the Right Category & Tags
Your business category and tags are what power Net Circle’s internal search engine. Get these wrong, and even the best profile may never be seen by the right people.
Step 1: Pick the Right Business Category
Don’t just pick what sounds “close enough.” Choose the category that best matches your core service. This helps Net Circle’s algorithm show your profile to people actively searching for exactly what you offer.
Examples of Accurate Category Selection
| Your Business Type | Best Category to Choose |
|---|---|
| Chartered Accountants | Accountants |
| Shopify SEO Consultant | Ecommerce Services |
| Virtual Assistant for Law Firms | BPO Providers |
| UX/UI Designer | Graphic & Web Design |
| Cybersecurity Expert | Security Services |
✅ If your exact category doesn’t exist, add a new category during listing.
Step 2: Add Relevant, High-Intent Tags (Keywords)
Tags = search keywords. These are what users type when they’re looking for services. Adding the right tags boosts your visibility on both Net Circle and external search engines like Google.
How to Choose the Right Tags:
Think of services your clients are looking for
Use specific, keyword-rich terms, not broad ones
Avoid repetition—each tag should add new search value
Examples of Smart Tags by Industry:
For Accountants:
Tax filing
VAT returns UK
Payroll management
oOtsourced accounting
Bookkeeping for startups
For BPO Providers:
Virtual assistant
Remote data entry
BPO for healthcare
Admin support for lawyers
24/7 customer service
For Ecommerce Experts:
Product listing optimization
Shopify SEO
Amazon store management
Dropshipping support
Ecommerce PPC
For Legal Services:
Startup legal advice
Contract drafting

Tips to Maximize Your Tags:
Add 5–10 relevant, diverse tags
Use search-friendly phrases, not single words (e.g., “virtual assistant services” instead of just “assistant”)
Include your target audience or niche in the tag (e.g., “bookkeeping for freelancers”)
Avoid
Tags that are too broad: “business,” “services,” “support”
Tags that repeat your business name (already covered in title)
Irrelevant tags (hurts your visibility rather than helping)
Upload High-Quality Visuals
Visual content builds trust. It’s often the first thing potential clients look at to judge your credibility.
A clear, professional image speaks louder than a paragraph of text—and a well-done video? Even better.
Why Visuals Matter:
Builds instant credibility
Humanizes your brand—people trust people, not faceless companies
Makes your listing stand out in search results
Increases profile engagement and time spent by visitors

You can upload up to 5 slider images on Net Circle (max total 4 MB). Make every image count.

Office or workspace – Remote or physical, clients like to see where the work happens
Screenshots of your work – Before/after designs, dashboards, or successful projects
Client meetings or events – Shows professionalism and activity
Certificates or awards – Boosts authority
Photo Tips:
Use well-lit, high-resolution images
Avoid pixelated or stock-style images
Stick to a consistent brand tone (same filter or color theme)
Add a Short Intro Video (Optional but Highly Recommended)
Net Circle allows you to embed a YouTube or Vimeo link. A short intro video adds a huge advantage over text-only listings.
Pro Tip: Videos with your face or voice create connection and build instant credibility.
What to Include in the Video:
Quick intro of you or your company (name, role, years in business)
What you do & how you help clients
Any social proof (number of clients, testimonials, etc.)
Clear call-to-action (e.g., “Contact us through Net Circle”)
Keep it Short:
Ideal length: 60–90 seconds
Make it clear, confident, and authentic
