Your Public Profile is a free mini-website for your business at yourname.brightdesk.app. It shows your tagline, bio, services and prices, a photo gallery, client reviews, social links and an inquiry form, so new clients can contact you without you sharing your number everywhere. Put it in your Instagram bio and on your WhatsApp Business profile.
In this tutorial
Step 1: Turn on your public profile
Go to Settings → Public Profile and switch on Enable Public Profile (Go live and accept inquiries).
Step 2: Choose your profile URL
Under Profile URL, tap Generate from business name and pick one of the available options, or type your own under Or type a custom username. Wait for Username is available!.
Your profile is live at yourname.brightdesk.app.
Choose carefully. You can only change your URL a limited number of times, and changing it breaks links you've already shared. Short and simple works best, like glambypriya or rahulclicks.

- Tagline: one line, for example "Soft glam bridal makeup in Pune ✨"
- Bio / Description: your experience, style, the areas you cover, and what makes you different
