Two location settings decide which searches you turn up in. Both are under Content → Profile → Location.
Primary Location
Where you're based. It shows on your profile card in search results and in the LOCATION stat at the top of your page. Set one — a profile without it reads as incomplete, and the field shows "No location set" until you do.
Service Areas
Everywhere you'll travel to work. Select Select next to Service Areas to add them. Each area is either:
- City — a single city
- State — an entire state
A state-level area is a wide net. It puts you in results across that whole state, so only add one if you'll genuinely travel that far. Mixing both works well: your home city plus a couple of neighbouring cities, or your city plus your state if you tour it.
Your service areas appear on your public profile in the Areas Served block, as chips with a map.
How this affects search
When a client searches, we match their event location against your service areas. If a city isn't covered by one of your areas — directly or through a state you've added — you won't appear in that search at all. This is the single most common reason a DJ sees fewer requests than expected.
Travel cost is separate
Service areas say where you'll go. What you charge to get there is Travel Cost, under Policies, and it becomes the Travel & Logistics line on every proposal. You can adjust the amount per proposal, and the proposal builder includes a Travel Calculator that works out distance and drive time from a starting address.
Keeping it current
If you move, update your Primary Location and review your service areas at the same time — they don't move with you.
