**Title:** How to Update Your Profile
**Format:** Help article
**Audience:** All
**Slug:** update-profile
**Purpose:** Complete and keep your ReiSearch public profile accurate with photos, contact info, social links, and company details.

**Content:**

Your public profile is how other users find and evaluate you on ReiSearch. A complete profile with photos, social links, and accurate contact information increases your credibility and helps the Directory, Network, and buy box features work effectively.

### Step 1: Open Your Profile Settings

Go to Settings > Profile or /settings. This is the default tab when you open Settings.

### Step 2: Set Your Photos

**Cover photo** — The banner image at the top of your profile. Click "Change Cover Photo" and upload a landscape image. A good cover photo sets context for your business (your office, a recent project, or your market area).

**Profile picture** — Your avatar. Click the avatar area to upload. A clear headshot or logo works best. This photo appears on property cards, Directory listings, and Network connections.

### Step 3: Edit About Me

Fill in the About Me section with accurate information:

- **First name, Middle name, Last name** — Your display name on the platform.
- **Phone number** — Your contact number. Use the Phone Visibility dropdown to control who sees it: Network (your connections), Public (all users), or Private (only you).
- **Email** — Your contact email. Use the Email Visibility dropdown with the same options. Click "Change Email" to update your login email (this sends a verification).
- **Location** — Add cities or regions where you operate. Type and press Enter. Each entry becomes a tag (e.g., "Maricopa, AZ").
- **About Me** — A short bio or description. Include what you do, your investment focus, and what kind of deals you are looking for.

### Step 4: Add Social Media Links

The Social Info section lets you link your professional social accounts:

- Facebook URL
- Instagram URL
- YouTube URL
- LinkedIn URL

These appear on your public profile as clickable icons. Keep them current so other users can verify your activity across channels.

### Step 5: Set Your Digital Signature

The Signature section lets you draw or upload a signature image. This signature is used for contracts and documents generated within ReiSearch. Click "Edit Signature" to create or update it.

### Step 6: Add Company Information

Enter your company details:

- **Company name** — Your business name as it appears on deals and communications.
- **Company website URL** — Your business website link.
- **Company logo** — Upload your logo with preview. This appears on presentations and deal documents.

### Step 7: Save Your Changes

Use the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the page to save everything. Use "Discard Changes" to revert to the last saved state. Some fields save automatically as you type, but always click Save before navigating away to be safe.

### Profile Progress

Your Dashboard shows a Profile Progress percentage. This updates as you complete profile fields. A complete profile (100%) unlocks the best Directory visibility, Network matching, and buy box performance.
