How do I improve my SmartMatch results?

Give SmartMatch a clear goal, distinguish essential requirements from preferences, and explain what is missing from the results. Specific corrections are more useful than repeatedly submitting the same broad request.

  1. State the outcome you want.
  2. Add relevant context, such as your current credential or the type of support required.
  3. Identify essential language, format, eligibility or timing requirements.
  4. Explain which preferences you could relax.
  5. Review your Coach profile for outdated information.

For example, “I need a mentor for PCC preparation, not general business coaching” gives a clear correction. Avoid adding unrelated goals to the same request unless you genuinely want support covering both.

If a result makes an unclear claim, read the full details before relying on it. Better matching context cannot supply information the Professional or Event Provider has not provided.
