Answer: A good tagline. Your tagline is the only bit of text you can control in directory search results. It is important! No tagline, or a bad tagline, can adversely affect your client contact. You can now add taglines in multiple languages, to better reach the clients you seek, in their languages. ProZ.com paying members can enter taglines in as many languages as they wish (non-members can add a maximum of two).
