Becoming a craftsman on Khdemli is free: you create your profile on the sign-up page, list your trades, your city and your neighbourhood, add photos of your work, and you become visible to every customer searching for your speciality. There is no monthly subscription and no commission on your jobs. Here is how to build a profile that genuinely makes the phone ring.
What Khdemli changes for a professional
A good craftsman works thanks to reputation — but that reputation almost never travels beyond the neighbourhood. On Khdemli it becomes readable by anyone searching for your trade in your city: your photos, your experience level, your customer reviews. That underlying problem is the one the platform was built to fix, as described in the article on why Khdemli exists.
Step 1 — Create the account
Registration happens on the craftsman sign-up page, takes a few minutes and works fine from a phone. You fill in your details, then the professional part: trades, city, neighbourhood, experience, availability. You do not need a commercial register entry or a website — the platform is built for independents.
- Full name and a reachable phone number, ideally the same as your WhatsApp
- One or more trades from the fifteen categories covered
- City and, where possible, the neighbourhood you cover
- Experience level: beginner, intermediate or expert
- A profile photo and a gallery of completed jobs
Step 2 — The profile that makes the difference
Between two craftsmen of the same trade in the same city, three things decide the customer: the photo, the gallery and the reviews. A sharp, well-lit photo of your face inspires immediately more confidence than a logo or a blurred image. The gallery is your real argument: four or five photos of finished jobs, clean and well framed — not photos of tools, but of results. Finally, a short, concrete description beats a generic paragraph every time.
The ten-second rule
Step 3 — Set your real availability
Two profile options are badly under-used even though they directly generate calls: weekend availability and urgent call-outs. A water leak on a Saturday night or a power failure on a Sunday cannot wait until Monday, and the craftsmen who display that availability are the ones people call first. Only tick them if you will honour them, though: a customer who calls someone marked "available for emergencies" and gets no answer will leave a poor review.
Step 4 — Get the verified badge
Verification is free and rests on the coherence of your profile: real identity, reachable number, authentic photos, plausible trades. The badge reassures hesitant customers and noticeably improves your contact rate. The checks involved are detailed in the article on the verified badge.
Step 5 — Understand what you pay
This point should never be left vague. Creating a profile is free and staying on the platform is free. However, when a customer unlocks your contact, a small amount — a few dirhams — is charged to your own wallet, exactly as it is to theirs. In exchange, Khdemli takes no commission on the value of your jobs and imposes no subscription. How the balance works is described in the wallet guide, and the full reasoning in the article on the Khdemli model.
Getting more calls: five habits that work
- Answer fast. Customers usually call two or three craftsmen; the first to pick up frequently wins the job.
- Give a price range on the phone, even if you confirm after a visit. Silence about price drives people away.
- Honour the price you quoted. A respected quote produces a good review, and a good review brings the next customer.
- Refresh the gallery regularly with your recent work.
- Ask for a review after every good job. Satisfied customers almost always agree — they simply do not think of it on their own.
What can get a profile suspended
The rules are few and simple: no false identity, no photos of work that is not yours, no unreachable number, no disrespectful behaviour in a customer's home. Repeated reports lead to the badge being withdrawn and then to suspension. That is what protects the value of the work done by serious craftsmen — which is to say, the overwhelming majority.
