Prepare a clear, useful service listing

Use the prompt below to work through your service details and prepare wording for your VanLife Connect profile. The AI will ask questions before drafting, so the listing reflects what you actually offer.

Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or another AI chat assistant. Answer its questions, review the draft, then add the final details and documents to your profile in the app.

It helps you write the service description, set out your price, prepare photo captions and check what still needs to be completed in your profile.

Help me prepare a clear, accurate and appealing service listing for the VanLife Connect app. Travellers should be able to understand what I offer, where I can help, what it costs and what they should know before booking.

Interview me one question at a time. Wait for my answer before asking the next question. Keep the questions practical and let me say “not sure” or “skip”. Do not write the final draft until you have enough confirmed information.

Ask me about:
1. The service I provide and the specific jobs or tasks I take on.
2. The kinds of travellers, vehicles or situations I can help with.
3. My relevant experience, skills and approach.
4. My service area, travel radius and whether I travel to the customer.
5. My availability, booking notice and scheduling limits.
6. My price: either “Request a Quote” or a fixed price in AUD. If fixed, ask whether it is per Hour, Day or Job, what is included, and what could change the price. Never make up a price.
7. Any qualifications, licences, certificates or insurance I actually hold. Do not imply I have any that I have not confirmed.
8. Any booking requirements or limits, such as equipment or parts needed, access requirements, vehicle types I work on, exclusions or preparation.
9. The real photos I plan to add to my service profile. If this AI chat lets me upload images, invite me to upload the photos so you can help write accurate descriptions. Describe only what is visible. Do not claim to see a photo I have not uploaded.
10. Any other details that would help a traveller decide whether my service suits their needs.

Help me make the listing specific, easy to scan on a phone, friendly and professional. Use natural Australian English. Put the important details first: what I do, where I do it and the jobs I can help with. Use relevant service and location terms naturally, without keyword stuffing, hype or guarantees. Do not invent experience, qualifications, insurance, prices, availability, customer reviews or results. If a useful fact is missing, ask me rather than guessing.

When we have enough information, prepare these sections in this order:

A. SERVICE EXPERIENCE & DETAILS
Write a ready-to-paste description for the VanLife Connect “Service Experience & Details” field. Maximum 1,000 characters. Aim for about 700–900 characters only if the confirmed information supports that length. Include the specific service and jobs, relevant experience, service area, booking or availability notes, and important limits. Do not include my phone number, email address or full home address. Show the character count.

B. PRICE
State either “Request a Quote” or the fixed price in AUD. If fixed, include the confirmed pricing unit: Hour, Day or Job. Add only confirmed details about what the price includes or what could affect it.

C. PHOTO DESCRIPTIONS
For each photo I plan to add, suggest a factual and useful description of no more than 200 characters. Do not exaggerate or claim a photo shows anything that is not visible. Show each character count. If I have not uploaded the photos to this chat, ask me to describe each one before suggesting its caption.

D. PROFILE COMPLETION CHECKLIST
Remind me to add the actual photos to my VanLife Connect service profile, add their descriptions, upload any relevant certificates or insurance documents in the appropriate app sections, and set my availability in the Schedule tab. List any details I should verify before publishing.

Before presenting the draft, check that section A is no more than 1,000 characters and each photo description is no more than 200 characters. Do not promise that a well-written listing will guarantee enquiries or bookings.

Important: Help me draft the listing text here. I will add the photos, certificates, insurance documents and availability separately in the VanLife Connect app. Do not ask me to provide sensitive identity or payment information.

The AI prepares draft wording only. You add your photos, certificates, insurance documents, price and availability to the relevant sections in the app, then check everything before publishing.

Keep private information out of the AI chat

Don’t share passwords, payment details, identity-document numbers or your full home address. You can tell the AI which qualifications or insurance you hold without uploading documents that contain personal information.

What makes a good service listing?

A useful listing gives a traveller enough information to decide whether your service is right for them. Be specific, show genuine examples of your work and be clear about price, location and any limits.

Service description

The “Service Experience & Details” field allows up to 1,000 characters. Say what you do and where first, then list the jobs you take on, relevant experience and important limits.

Price

Choose Request a Quote or enter a confirmed fixed price in AUD. For a fixed price, select Hour, Day or Job and explain what it includes.

Photos and descriptions

Add genuine photos of your work, finished results, equipment or the service being provided. Each photo description can be up to 200 characters.

Qualifications and insurance

Upload relevant, current documents in the appropriate sections of the app. Only claim qualifications, licences or insurance you actually hold.

Availability

Set your availability in the Schedule tab. Mention useful booking details in your description, such as notice required or days you usually take bookings.

Practical details

Explain your service area, whether you travel to the customer, equipment or parts needed, access requirements, vehicle types you work on and work you don’t do.

Check your listing before publishing

The first sentence says what you do and where.
The jobs you offer are specific and easy to understand.
Your experience and credentials are accurate.
Your price, pricing unit and inclusions are clear.
Your photos show your real service, work or equipment.
Photo descriptions are factual and within 200 characters.
Relevant certificates or insurance documents are uploaded.
Your Schedule tab reflects your actual availability.

Too vague

“Handyman available. Good rates. Contact me.”

More useful

“I provide [confirmed jobs] for travellers around [service area]. I can [confirmed travel or access details]. Pricing is [confirmed price or request a quote].”

This is a structure only. Replace the brackets with your own confirmed details.
