How to prepare your Kariakoo Sokoni business page

Prepare a short introduction, accurate public contact details and photographs you have permission to use. Send them together to the Kariakoo Sokoni team, who will discuss your plan and create your website listing.

Start with the details customers need

Use the name customers recognise. Explain what you sell or the services you provide, where you operate and who you serve. Replace general claims such as “we sell everything” with specific categories and examples.

  • Business name, category and a short description.
  • Shop address or service area, including a useful landmark where appropriate.
  • Opening hours and any appointment requirements.
  • A public phone number and WhatsApp number, including the country code.
  • Your website and social profile links, if you want them displayed.

Check that each number reaches the person who handles customer enquiries. Tell the team which details may be published; keep personal identity documents, passwords and private correspondence out of your listing materials.

Describe each product or service clearly

For a product, send its name, a photograph, key features and relevant sizes, materials or options. For a service, explain the work offered, the area covered and what a customer should provide for a quotation.

Tell the team whether a price is fixed, starts from an amount, or should be shown as “Contact for price”. Include the currency and any conditions. Confirm availability and delivery arrangements directly with customers rather than relying on an old listing.

Choose photographs that represent your business

Send your logo and clear original photographs of your premises, work or products. Avoid blurry screenshots, unrelated stock photos and images copied from other businesses. Only send images you have permission to publish, including permission from identifiable people where needed.

Use this listing-request checklist

Copy this example and replace the bracketed details before sending it:

Hello Kariakoo Sokoni. I would like a website page for [business name]. We offer [products/services] in [area]. Our public phone is [number] and WhatsApp is [number]. I have attached our description, logo and approved photos. Please explain the current plan options and what you need next.

Service Seller, Basic, Pro and Premium are options to discuss with the team. Ask for current prices, inclusions and update terms before choosing; this website does not process a subscription payment or create a seller account.

Review the page before sharing it

Check spelling, photographs, location, contacts and catalog details on the prepared page. Ask the team to correct errors, then keep the final page link for customers and future update requests. Website listings are managed by authorised staff; app accounts and operations remain separate.
