1. Organisation Profile (Online Profile)

The very first step to setting up your Sfera is to make sure your information about your organisation is convincing to build trust with your potential online customers. To do this, go to Organisation > Profile > click Edit Profile.


    • General information: Ensure organisation’s official name, registration number, brand name, and contact details are accurate.
    • Contents: Ensure about us, terms & conditions, privacy policy, and data consent terms are accurate. You can use the ‘write for me’ feature powered by Sfera AI to assist you in generating this content. Make sure to edit to ensure the accuracy of the content generated.
    • Theme: Ensure your brand’s logo, and color correctly represent your organisation’s branding.
    • SEO (Search Engine Optimisation): Ensure the Focus keyphrase, Page title, and Meta description are updated to improve your ranking when your potential customers search for you via Google or other search engines.

To view your Online Profile + Booking System that your customers will see and use, click on Organisation > Profile > Your Online Profile URL.


Note: Your system admin may change the ‘Use AI’ function language in > Settings > Organisation > Marketing > Contents A.I. > Language
