class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ensure your bio portrays your brand voice and says what your brand offers.\u00a0It should also tell first-time visitors why they should care.<\/p>\n<p>Use a great profile picture and ensure it adheres to guidelines.\u00a0You should also provide contact information, categorize your brand correctly, and include
