Why Does My Profile Include an Average Hourly Rate And Minimum Project Size?

Clutch profiles prompt an average hourly rate and a minimum project size to help buyers determine if your services are a good fit for their needs.

Budget is one of the most important factors considered in B2B buyers’ hiring decisions.

The hourly rate and minimum project size are featured on your profile to help potential buyers determine if your company is a match for their needs and their budget.

Sharing an average hourly rate or minimum project size will provide your company with more targeted leads — you won’t have to waste time filtering through buyers with project budgets that don’t align with your rates.

Many buyers begin their search using directory filters to create a shortlist of service providers. Minimum project size and average hourly rate are popular filters because they help a buyer understand the financial commitment of hiring a service provider.

If you choose not to select an option for these fields, you will be excluded from the filtered results on directory pages.
