🧨 How to Write a Killer Service Listing That Gets Clicks (and Clients)

You listed your service.
You waited.
Crickets.

Here’s the truth:
If your listing doesn’t grab attention, it won’t get clicked—no matter how good you are.

But don’t worry. You don’t need fancy words or marketing tricks. You just need to follow a proven structure that speaks to what your client actually wants.

Let’s break it down.

🎯 Step 1: Start With a Specific, Benefit-Focused Title

Most people write:

“Graphic Design Services”
“Virtual Assistant Available”
“Marketing Help”

Boring. Vague. Skippable.

High-converting titles say what you do + what result the client gets.

Try these instead:

  • ✅ “I’ll Design Scroll-Stopping Instagram Posts for Your Brand”
  • ✅ “Reliable Virtual Assistant for Inbox, Scheduling & Admin Tasks”
  • ✅ “I’ll Write Your Website Copy That Sells Without the Sleaze”

Your title should do ONE job: Make them click to learn more.

🧠 Step 2: Use the First Line to Show You Understand Their Problem

People hire based on problems.
So use the first line of your description to mirror what they’re feeling.

Example:

“Tired of wasting hours on social media with no results? I help small businesses post consistently, engage better, and actually grow.”

Or:

“Most business owners are drowning in admin. That’s where I come in.”

This builds instant trust.

🧰 Step 3: Describe What You Offer in Simple, Clear Terms

List what they’re getting. Not fluff. Not your life story.

Use bullet points or short paragraphs like:

What I offer:
✅ Daily inbox & calendar management
✅ Creating posts from your content ideas
✅ Weekly reporting so you know what’s working

No jargon. No filler. Just what they get, what you do, and what result they can expect.

🪄 Step 4: Show What Makes You Different (In One Sentence)

You don’t need to be the best. Just different.

Examples:

“I’ve helped 15+ small brands grow their audience from 0 to 5K.”
“Quick turnaround + no ghosting—ever.”
“I speak both business and design, so your vision actually gets built.”

Small trust signals go a long way.

📞 Step 5: End With a Call to Action That Feels Natural

Don’t end with “thanks for visiting my page.” That’s dead space.

Instead, say:

“If you’re ready to stop stressing and get this off your plate, send me a message.”
“Let’s talk about what you need—no pressure, just solutions.”
“Available this week. Tap ‘Contact’ to get started.”

Make it sound like a real person who’s ready to help. Because you are.
