What is a listing and how does it work?

A listing is a page created by you to describe a specific service you’d like to offer to the Airtasker community. It is a way for you to advertise your unique skills and services and to engage customers to purchase.

You control the information shown on your listing. Use your creativity to really sell yourself and bring your listings to life with a title, description, price packages, images and more.

Listings allow Taskers to list their services and customers to discover and purchase those services directly in the Airtasker marketplace. Below is a step-by-step guide on how it works;

1. Create a listing
   Follow a few simple steps to create your first listing:

   • Head to https://www.airtasker.com/ and log in.

   • Click on the 'List my services' tab:

   • If you’re using a mobile web browser, click the menu button in the top left and you’ll find the 'List my services' tab.
     
   • Click 'Create my first listing!'
   • Complete the steps in the setup form and hit 'Publish'!
     

     💡You can create an unlimited number of listings!

     High-quality listings will be ranked first on our homepage, so make sure to check out our tips and tricks on how to create listings customers love. Your listing will be reviewed by our team to ensure it meets our guidelines, so it’s important you follow our listing guidelines.
     
     

2. Get notified when a customer requests to book
   Once your listing is published, you will start receiving booking requests from customers. These can be found in ‘My Tasks’ under the ‘Booking requests’ tab. We will send you email and app notifications to ensure you stay informed and don't miss out on important updates so make sure you’ve got ‘task updates’ enabled in your notification settings!
   
   
3. Quickly respond to booking requests
   When a customer makes a booking request, a task will be created and you will be able to discuss any special requirements with the customer and agree on the final price before committing to the job. Once you’re aligned, you still need to make them a final offer. If you can’t take on the job, make sure to decline politely through the comments section. Please Remember: Your response time determines your listing’s ranking, so respond quickly to every request! Our most responsive Taskers respond within 1 hour.
   
   Although this will look like a normal task, the conversation will be private between you and the Customer so other Taskers will not be able to make an offer on this task! Just like normal tasks, it is important to adhere to our Community Guidelines. Any attempt to exchange contact information before the task is assigned will be moderated.
   
   Your listing can also be paused at any time - if you’re going away or simply fancy some time off, hit the pause button on the ‘My Listings’ page to temporarily stop receiving bookings. 
   
   
4. Auto-pause
   Airtasker will auto-pause listings from Taskers who have not responded within 24 hours for less than 50% of their past 20 Listing booking requests or have not engaged at all with Airtasker in the past 90 days. You will always be notified via email if your listing is paused. To reactivate a paused listing, simply visit the ‘My Listings’ page.
