Which profile should a creator or influencer choose?

A public Business Professional profile is usually the strongest fit for creators, influencers, photographers, videographers, marketers, musicians and brand representatives who want their expertise to be discoverable.

Which profile should a restaurant or food truck owner choose?

Choose a Business Owner profile when you own the business or have authorized responsibility for its BISTRO BUDDY listing and information.

What is the difference between public and private?

Public profiles are intended for public discovery. Private profile descriptions state that the member does not appear in public user listings. Other access and privacy behavior remains subject to the platform settings and current terms.

Can I switch profile types later?

Yes. Logged-in users can open the built-in Switch Profile Type page. Different profile types can present different fields and functionality.

Does creating a profile automatically give me control of a business listing?

No. A community profile and a business listing are separate. Listing management requires ownership, authorization or the appropriate platform relationship.
