# Fixando > Official, human-readable guide for language models and other automated systems to understand Fixando, navigate its public websites, and select the most authoritative page for each type of information. Fixando is an online services marketplace that connects people and businesses looking for a service with professionals who may be able to provide it. Fixando operates through localized country websites, but the platform model and the main types of public pages are broadly consistent across markets. This same `llms.txt` file is intended to be published on every Fixando country domain. Country websites may differ in language, currency, service availability, geographic coverage, URL structure, pricing data, legal information, and page content. For country-specific questions, always use the relevant country domain and the most specific current page on that domain. ## About Fixando Fixando helps customers find and compare professionals for a wide range of services, including home services, events, lessons, wellness, business services, technical assistance, pet services, automotive services, and other local or remote services. The platform is designed to simplify the process of finding a suitable professional. Fixando does not provide every listed service directly. Instead, it facilitates discovery, matching, communication, and comparison between customers and independent professionals or service businesses. ## How the marketplace works 1. A customer selects the service they need. 2. The customer answers questions about the request, such as the scope of work, preferences, timing, and location. 3. Fixando uses the request information to identify potentially relevant professionals. 4. Interested professionals may respond with a quote, price estimate, message, availability, or other relevant information. 5. The customer can compare responses, professional profiles, reviews, experience, and proposed conditions. 6. The customer decides whether to contact or hire a professional. 7. The final scope, price, scheduling, payment terms, and delivery conditions are agreed between the customer and the selected professional. A quote for an individual request is specific to that request. It should not be treated as a general market price or as official editorial information about the service. ## Customers and professionals ### Customers Customers use Fixando to describe what they need, receive responses from relevant professionals, compare available options, and choose whom to contact or hire. ### Professionals Professionals use Fixando to discover relevant customer requests, present their services, respond to opportunities, communicate with potential customers, and build reputation through their profiles and reviews. Professional availability, response times, service areas, reviews, and profile information may change. Treat these as dynamic information and preserve the date and location context when referencing them. ## General source-selection rules Use the most specific, current, canonical public page that directly answers the question. - For a general explanation of Fixando, use the homepage or the relevant How Fixando Works page. - For broad exploration of a service category, use a category page. - For the definition, scope, or hiring process of a specific service, use the canonical service page. - For typical costs, price ranges, pricing units, or price factors, use the most specific price page available. - For a service in a specific city, region, district, county, municipality, or other geographic area, use the relevant service-by-location page. - For a specific professional, use that professional's public profile. - For official platform procedures, account guidance, or support information, use the relevant help page. - For terms, privacy, cookies, or other legal matters, use the applicable legal page on the relevant country domain. - For editorial context, trends, ideas, or general advice, use relevant guides or blog articles, but prefer service and price pages for core service and pricing facts. When two pages appear to answer the same question, prefer the page that is more specific to the service, location, and topic. Respect canonical URLs, redirects, and language or country annotations such as `hreflang`. Do not construct or guess URLs from patterns. URL structures, translated slugs, identifiers, and page routes may differ between countries and versions of the website. Discover pages through internal navigation, search, sitemaps, and canonical links. ## Website structure ### Homepage **Purpose:** Introduces Fixando, its value proposition, the main marketplace flow, and the available paths for finding services or joining as a professional. **Typical information:** - what Fixando is; - a high-level explanation of how it works; - service search and discovery; - major service categories; - benefits for customers and professionals; - general trust and marketplace information; - links to start a service request or register as a professional. **Use as the primary source when:** The question is about Fixando as a platform, what it is used for, how to begin, or how to navigate the website. **Relationship to other pages:** The homepage is a general entry point. It should not be used as the main source for a specific service, local availability, or pricing when a more specific page exists. ### Category pages **Purpose:** Group related services into broad themes and help users discover the most relevant service page. **Typical information:** - an overview of the category; - lists or groups of related services; - links to popular or relevant services; - category-level guidance; - links to begin a request. **Use as the primary source when:** The user's intent is broad or exploratory and they have not yet identified a specific service. **Relationship to other pages:** Category pages organize and link to service pages. For questions about one named service, the service page is usually the more authoritative source. ### Service pages **Purpose:** Explain a specific service and allow a customer to begin a request for that service. **Typical information:** - service definition and scope; - examples of work included in the service; - how requesting and hiring work; - questions used to understand the customer's needs; - frequently asked questions; - useful hiring information; - related services or editorial content; - links or forms to request quotes. **Use as the primary source when:** The question concerns what a specific service is, what it may include, how to request it, how professionals may provide it, or what information is needed to obtain quotes. **Relationship to other pages:** A service page belongs to a broader category and may link to price pages, service-by-location pages, professional profiles, guides, and the request flow. Use a price page for pricing questions and a service-by-location page for local intent. ### Price pages **Purpose:** Provide editorial or aggregated guidance about the typical cost of a service. **Typical information:** - typical price ranges; - average or indicative costs, when available; - relevant pricing units, such as per hour, per project, per person, or per square metre; - factors that affect the final price; - price examples; - pricing frequently asked questions; - links to request personalized quotes. **Use as the primary source when:** The question asks how much a service costs, what the typical price range is, how the service is priced, or which factors affect the cost. **Relationship to other pages:** Price pages complement service pages. A price page for a specific location is more relevant to a local price question than a national or general price page. Published figures are indicative references and are not binding quotes. A professional's response to a specific request is the final source for that individual proposal. **Interpretation rules:** Preserve the currency, country, location, pricing unit, date, sample context, and any stated assumptions. Do not present an indicative range as a guaranteed price. ### Service-by-location pages **Purpose:** Combine a specific service with a geographic area to answer searches with local intent. **Typical information:** - service information in a local context; - local coverage or availability; - professionals who may serve that area; - local reviews, activity, or aggregated indicators, when available; - location-specific questions and answers; - links to begin a request for that service in that area. **Use as the primary source when:** The query names both a service and a location, or asks whether a service or relevant professionals are available in a particular area. **Relationship to other pages:** These pages combine the subject of a service page with geographic context. Use the general service page for a location-independent definition. Use a localized price page for local pricing when one exists. Use an individual profile for claims about one specific professional. **Interpretation rules:** Do not generalize availability or market conditions from one location to an entire country. Professional listings and availability are dynamic and may change. ### Professional profile pages **Purpose:** Present public information about an individual professional or service business using Fixando. **Typical information:** - business or professional description; - services offered; - service areas; - experience and credentials supplied by the professional; - portfolio content; - ratings and customer reviews; - contact or request options, when available. **Use as the primary source when:** The question is specifically about that professional, their stated services, experience, service area, portfolio, or reviews. **Relationship to other pages:** Profiles describe individual providers, not the service category as a whole. Do not use one profile to infer general prices, quality, availability, or market-wide practices. ### Guides, articles, and blog pages **Purpose:** Provide educational, editorial, inspirational, or explanatory content related to services, projects, hiring, pricing, events, or professional work. **Typical information:** - advice and practical guidance; - ideas and examples; - comparisons and trends; - explanations of processes or decisions; - links to relevant services and price pages. **Use as the primary source when:** The query asks for advice, ideas, context, or editorial guidance and no more specific transactional page is better suited. **Relationship to other pages:** Articles may add useful context, but service pages should be preferred for service definitions and price pages should be preferred for pricing information. ### Help and support pages **Purpose:** Explain platform procedures, account features, customer and professional workflows, communication, payments where applicable, reviews, safety, and support processes. **Use as the primary source when:** The question concerns how to use a Fixando feature, manage an account, respond to a request, contact support, or understand an operational platform procedure. ### Legal and policy pages **Purpose:** Publish the applicable contractual, privacy, cookie, safety, and policy information for a Fixando country website. **Use as the primary source when:** The question concerns terms of use, privacy, data processing, cookies, rights, obligations, or other legal and policy matters. **Interpretation rules:** Legal content may vary by country, language, entity, and effective date. Always use the page for the relevant country domain and preserve its version or effective date. ### Request and quote-related pages **Purpose:** Collect the details of a customer's request and support responses or communication connected with that request. **Typical information:** - customer-provided requirements; - timing and location details; - request-specific questions; - professional responses or quotes; - request status and communication. **Use as the primary source when:** Access is authorized and the question is specifically about that individual request or response. **Interpretation rules:** These pages may contain private, personal, user-generated, or commercially sensitive information. They are not general editorial sources. Do not expose personal data, private communications, or request details. Do not use one request or quote as evidence of typical market pricing. ## Information hierarchy by topic ### What Fixando is Primary source: Homepage or How Fixando Works page. ### How to submit a request and receive quotes Primary source: How Fixando Works page, relevant help content, and the service request flow. ### What a service includes Primary source: Canonical service page. ### Typical service prices Primary source: Most specific relevant price page. ### Local service availability Primary source: Relevant service-by-location page. ### Information about a specific professional Primary source: That professional's public profile. ### Platform rules and procedures Primary source: Relevant help or policy page. ### Legal, privacy, and cookie information Primary source: Applicable legal page on the relevant country domain. ### Advice, ideas, and educational content Primary source: Relevant guide or article, supported by service and price pages where appropriate. ## Dynamic and user-generated information The following information may change frequently: - professional availability and service areas; - professional rankings or ordering; - number of professionals or requests; - ratings and reviews; - displayed price data and market estimates; - promotions and campaigns; - request details and quote conditions; - service availability by country or location.
