In this brief conversation, Speaker A expresses frustration with the lack of personal photos on business About pages, arguing that a picture helps confirm the business is run by a real person rather than a faceless scam. Speaker B, who works with service‑based clients, agrees and notes that many service providers (e.g., plumbers) often omit photos, which feels odd because customers want to know who will be entering their homes. The discussion highlights how visual transparency reduces anxiety, especially for women who are more concerned about personal safety when letting strangers into their houses. Both speakers conclude that a simple photo can build trust and alleviate safety concerns.

A lot of times I go to someone's About page and there's no picture of them. I wanna know you're a human and not some scammer out there with like, oh, our company does this, that, and the other thing. I don't care. Who are you? I wanna see your picture. I want even, I mean, yes, it could be fake, but I wanna see your stuff. What do you think about that?
Yeah. And you know what? I, I have a lot of service-based industries as clients and I am really surprised when they don't wanna put pictures on their site. And it's, it's strange because these are people that are doing services at somebody's house. And for me, if I had ordered, say, a plumber to come over to my house, I would personally look on their website and see who I expect to show up at my door. Yeah. And if that doesn't match, yes, I'm going to be very nervous about letting that person into my house.
Good point. Especially as a woman. I mean, you hear about stories all the time. People come into the door. Um, that's a good point.
