It’s a sad day for webmasters.<\/p>\n

Today, service providers all across uShip just got a newly revamped profile page, largely eliminating the need for an expensive webmaster to host the website for their transport business. Let’s face it — the last thing you want to do as a transporter after driving 700 miles is to write website copy and talk to your nerdy webmaster.<\/p>\n

To this end, uShip acts as the marketing department to tens of thousands of providers \u2013 41,000 active providers to be more precise. Profile pages, which have been a part of uShip’s offering since Day 1, play a vital role in their business success. It openly displays credentials, feedback ratings, unbiased customer reviews, experience and more. This page is hosted for each provider free of charge by uShip, compared to potentially thousands of dollars a year to create, host, edit, and manage a business website.<\/p>\n

Today, that invaluable piece of online real estate just got a major facelift. And at a time when online reviews are a such an instrumental part of how consumers make decisions, it’s important to understand how this page is changing if you’re a provider on uShip.<\/p>\n

Because these pages are so vital to the success of our carriers, we\u2019re revamping them. Recently, we announced an updated to our Ratings and Reviews system<\/a>, which will ensure reviews better reflect carrier performance. In addition, we\u2019ve given Carrier Profile Pages a major facelift, all with the goal of making you stand out by putting your relevant details front and center.<\/p>\n

Profile Page Updates<\/h3>\n

So, what\u2019s new? Plenty! Here\u2019s the new look of your profile:<\/p>\n

\"uship<\/p>\n

The first thing you\u2019ll see is the addition of the Profile Card<\/strong>. This is the section on the top left of your profile with at-a-glance info about your business. Here, your photo, broker or carrier tag, star rating and a \u201cWould Use Again\u201d rating (your historic overall positive feedback rating,) live.<\/p>\n

Up-front Reviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As shipping customers will tell you, the first thing they look for in reviewing a carrier is their star rating and feedback. Because of this, we\u2019ve put reviews front and center within your profile. Now, users can sort and search your reviews to find feedback that\u2019s most relevant to their shipment.<\/p>\n

Shipment Insights<\/h3>\n

Beyond user ratings, your new carrier profile also features Shipment Insights, which put your performance on display with info like number of shipments completed, any categories you are ranked in, and your cancellation rate.<\/p>\n

Carrier Profile Badges<\/h3>\n

Another front-and-center feature is Badges. These badges indicate important details about you and your business. Potential badges include:<\/p>\n
