For service providers: how Compass can benefit your business

Many people in Europe find it easier to explain their needs in their native language: to a doctor, a lawyer, a car repair shop, or a store. Kompas is a directory where they can search for a provider by service, location, and language.

If you're ready to serve customers in Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, Armenian, Georgian, English, Slovak, or another language, post your card on Kompas. It's free and takes about 10 minutes.

Are you a master of your craft and speak your language? Then they're already looking for you. Let's help them find you faster than I can find socks at the bottom of the stairs.

1. Who can accommodate

Compass is open to anyone who offers services or products and is willing to communicate with customers in their language.

• Private specialists and entrepreneurs: master, tutor, translator, psychologist, photographer.
• Organizations: clinic, law firm, car service, real estate agency, accounting department, school.
• Specialists who work for an organization: for example, a dentist at a clinic. They post their profile themselves and can include the clinic in the description.
• Shops, cafes and restaurants: it is important for customers to know where they will be served in their native language.

All offers are divided into 11 groups, from "Health" and "Household Services" to "Business." A single card can be displayed in up to three subgroups if your work spans multiple areas.

2. What you get

Clients who are looking for you. Compass attracts people for whom language isn't a small matter, but a key factor in their choice. If you speak their language, you're already one step ahead of the competition.

A card in all website languages without a translator. You write the description once, in your language. Compass translates it into your customers' languages, the local language, and always into English. The buyer sees the "Automatically Translated" mark and can open your original.

Multiple language communities at once. Indicate all the languages you work in—a card will be available for each. A car service in Slovakia, where in addition to Slovak, Russian, Ukrainian, and Armenian are spoken, is visible to three audiences.

Hassle-free communication. Customers contact you through the website, and the message arrives in their account and email. Your email address is invisible to them. With paid plans, notifications are also sent to Telegram or directly to your CRM, allowing you to reply directly from there.

Reputation. Customer reviews and ratings are visible on your profile and boost your ranking. Good reviews are the best argument for attracting a new client.

Attention to newcomers. For the first 30 days after publication, the card is marked "New," appears higher in the list, and is included in the "New on Compass" section on the homepage.

A personal page without a website. Description, photos, address on a map, links to the website and social media, and, with paid plans, services with pricing and downloadable PDFs. This is a fully functional online business card, even if you don't have a website.

Write once and they read it in seven languages. I wish they could do the same with customs declarations.

3. Free start and growth

You can get started for free and with no time limit: the "Business Card" plan is always free. When you want more, upgrade to "Business Card Plus"—it's also free for the first 180 days.

For more information on each tariff, terms, and transitions, see the Tariff Guide .

Start with a free Business Card. It's like your first suitcase: start with the essentials, and then buy the rest along the way.

4. How to understand that the Compass is working for you

Look at three things.

1. Views. The "Business Card Plus" and "Prof" sections in your Contractor Account show how many times each of your proposals has been opened over the past month and over the entire period.
2. Messages. All customer inquiries are collected in "Customer Messages," with statuses of "New," "Waiting for Response," and "Answered."
3. Ask your clients. Ask new clients how they found you. This is the most honest way to track orders with Compass.

The more complete your profile and the faster you respond, the more inquiries will turn into orders. The "How to create a profile and set up your account" page will explain how to fill out your profile so it's easily found and selected.

5. Start in 10 minutes

1. Click "Login/Register" and select "Artist" when registering.
2. Fill out the proposal form: what you do, where you work and what languages you speak.
3. Publish your card and it will appear in the catalog immediately, without waiting for review.

Already registered as a buyer? Click "Become a contractor" in the website header; no new account required.

Detailed instructions with pictures are on the page "How to place a card and set up an account."
