Profile FAQs

If you are a company or experienced professional who provides production services you should create a profile so people searching for the services you provide can find and contact you.


A complete and up-to-date profile is more likely to appear higher in the category search results. Make sure you add a high-quality profile picture, add photo galleries of your work, upload your demo reel and fill in all the information about your professional life. For bonus points, add tags to your profile to be discovered in more ways. For further assistance, please contact a Profile Specialist at 877-629-4122.

Featured Profiles have guaranteed placement at the top of ProductionHUB’s category search results and are one of the best ways to stand out to potential clients. Whether you have a Featured or Basic profile, there are a few things you can do to make your profile as engaging as possible: add a high-quality profile photo or logo, use the first sentence of your “About Me/About Us” to sum up specifically what you do or what services your company offers, create a photo gallery of your work or BTS photos, and upload your reel if applicable.


Featured Profiles have guaranteed placement at the top of the search results, have first and unlimited access to project leads, can appear in more than two categories and more. Learn more about our different profile plans. If you’re not sure what plan is best for you, call us at 877.629.4122 and a profile specialist will help you with your marketing strategy.


You can cancel the monthly subscription for your Basic Profile at any time in My Account. Your profile will remain active through its next billing date and then will deactivate. You can also deactivate your profile at any time in My Account.


To remove your Basic Profile from our searchable online directory, select Remove My Profile for the Manage Profile dropdown menu


Potential clients searching ProductionHUB for crew, freelancers and vendors for their projects will usually find your profile based on its categories and location. Be sure to pick the best possible categories that reflect the main services or skills you offer.

If you're based just outside of, but very close to a major city, list that city as your location as it's more likely a client coming from out of town will be searching for people and companies local to the larger city. You can also include your preferred locations in your profile description and profile keywords. Call us at 877-629-4122 to speak with a profile specialist to help you with your marketing strategy.


A response credit is what you use to respond to project leads. Project leads are typically 1-2 credits. This is to make sure only the professionals that are most qualified will pursue leads. TIP: Featured Profiles do not need response credits to respond to leads.


With a Basic Profile, you receive one free response credit per month, a $5 value. You can purchase more at any time in My Account. If you have a Featured Profile, you can respond to project leads without using response credits.


When a new lead is submitted to us that matches your lead categories and location, we'll notify you and you can pursue the project. TIP: The faster you respond, the better your chances of being hired. Featured Profiles have the added benefit of receiving text alerts when a lead matches their lead preferences.


Set your preferences for receiving lead notifications under “Lead Alert Settings” in My Account.


Many people looking for crew and vendors search for people and companies for their projects through our online directory and then contact them directly. Only a small percentage of site visitors who search for crew and vendors, submit their project details to us to be verified and posted on the site. This means having a strong profile that is well-positioned to be found gives you a greater chance of being hired on a regular basis.
