The most important aspect to consider when sponsoring your equestrian services is creating an accurate description of the. This will not only help you achieve a successful sale in a short period but also minimize the number of potential buyers contacting you just to request additional information. Here’s everything you need to know to create a detailed description of equine services.
4.1 General details of the listing
In this first section, you will be asked to provide common information to every listing on the platform, regardless of the category in which they are listed.
Title: The title of your listing is crucial, as it appears in every listing preview and on the detailed page. It’s the first thing that distinguishes your offering from the rest. Make sure your listing’s title is clear, highlighting the main focus of your listing, like “Equine Chiropractor in Abu Dhabi”, and also mentions distinctive attributes, such as “licensed practitioner”. Alongside the title, viewers will see additional details in every listing, including the price, location, and other key specifics relevant to the category.
Listing Tags: Tags are a useful feature to enhance the searchability of your listing. If you’re offering services in equine wellness, for instance, you might use tags like “lameness prevention” or “sport horses.” You’re given ample leeway to choose these tags, but it’s advisable to keep them to a manageable count (ideally 3 to 5) and make sure they’re directly related to what you’re listing. Refrain from using tags just to get more eyes on your listing, as doing so could lead to it not being approved by our team, all in the effort to keep the search experience positive for all users.
Categories: For a free listing, you can choose up to two categories. Categories are vital as they primarily differentiate the various types of listings, ensuring your listing reaches the right audience. Whether you’re offering your equestrian services, you have the option to select from a range of categories:
Equine wellness (main category)
Specialization such as farriers, chiropractors, physiotherapists (sub-category).

After making your selection, the fields at the bottom of the page will update to display some category-specific information.
