You do the work. Make it easier to find you.
A customer rarely starts with a perfect specification. They have a driveway to grade, a trench to dig, brush to clear or a machine that will not run. They need to know who can help, where that person works and what happens next.
That is where a useful contractor profile earns its place. A row of machine photos may catch attention, but the details turn interest into a relevant enquiry. What equipment do you have? Does it come with an operator? Will you take on the complete job? How far will you travel?
Choose the category that matches your business
For owners, hire companies and contractors with tractors, skid steers, Bobcats, excavators, mini excavators, dumpsters or attachments. Be clear whether you offer equipment only, a machine with an operator, or the complete job.
For mechanics, hydraulic specialists and workshops. Say what you repair, which equipment you work on, where your shop is and whether you offer mobile repairs, pickup or return.
For businesses and independent owners selling new or used equipment. A sales and service business can select both sales and repairs. You do not need to fit a dealer label to explain what you do.
Choose every category that applies. The distinction should help customers find the right service, rather than force a business into a single box.

KONG / THE WORKING DETAILS
SHOW WHATYOU CAN DO.
Put the equipment, service area and actual work in the picture.
Tell us what you have, then tell us what it can do
Include machine type, make, model, year and the number of units available. Add the attachments that change what you can offer: a bucket, forks, auger, mower, breaker, snow blade or another useful tool. Where a specification matters, use the details for that particular machine.
Then translate the equipment into the work a customer recognises. “Skid steer with operator for grading and material handling” says more than “Bobcat available.” “Mini excavation for accessible residential sites” helps a customer explain their job. Be specific about access requirements and transport arrangements rather than making a promise the machine cannot meet.
Your service area is part of your offer
Give your base location and the communities you actually serve. Tell us whether you deliver equipment, collect it, charge separately for transport or ask the customer to bring a machine to your workshop. If the job requires a site visit before quoting, say so.
Availability matters, too. A contractor taking weekend jobs and a hire company with weekday delivery are different options. Describe your normal arrangements and confirm dates directly for each enquiry.
Show real work, with useful context
Equipment photos and genuine job photographs help customers understand your capability. Include a short explanation of what the machine was doing, the attachment used and the type of result. Use photos you have permission to share and leave private client details out of the caption.
A repair business can show its workshop and the kinds of components it handles. An owner selling a machine should show the actual equipment, its condition and included attachments. The purpose is to help someone assess the fit before picking up the phone.

MAKE THE NEXTMOVE SIMPLE.
Give the right customer a clear way to start a conversation.
Keep the next step simple
Use the phone and email you want customers to contact. Explain what you need for a useful first conversation: job location, rough scope, dates and a few photographs, or the equipment make, model and fault. A well-directed enquiry is more useful than a vague message that takes several replies to clarify.
Kong reviews applications before any public listing is created. Applying does not automatically publish a profile or guarantee enquiries. It starts a conversation about your business and the information a customer needs to choose it.

See the difference between hiring and repairs
Someone looking for an operated skid steer needs a different contact from someone with a snowplow that will not lift. Our Full Flow Hydraulics winter service guide shows how a repair business can make its location and booking details clear.
Questions before you get started
Can I apply if I own only one machine?
Yes. Tell Kong what equipment you have, whether you operate it for customers, and where you work. Applications are reviewed individually.
Can a business offer sales and repairs?
Yes. Choose both categories and describe each capability so customers understand the difference.
Will applying publish my listing immediately?
No. Kong reviews applications before a public listing is created. Applying does not guarantee bookings or enquiries.
