What does marking yourself available do on Automate America?

It moves you toward the top of the professionals list, shows a green AVAILABLE NOW badge on your profile, and Automate America actively promotes you to customers searching for your skills. It's free.

What happens if I don't update my availability?

After about a week without an update your status turns to unknown, and then unavailable. That decay keeps the badge honest — update it weekly to stay at the top.

Does it cost anything to be promoted as available?

No. Availability-based ranking and promotion are free. Keeping your status current is the only requirement.

I'm on a long contract — should I mark myself unavailable?

Yes. A clear unavailable status builds trust, and your profile, reviews, and endorsements keep working for you. Flip back to available when your contract wraps.

Mark Yourself Available — Top of the List

On the new Automate America, telling the market you're available actually does something. Mark yourself available and you move to the top of the professionals list — and Automate America actively promotes you to customers searching for exactly what you do. No boost required, no fee: keeping your availability current is free exposure. Let it lapse for a week and your status turns to unknown, then unavailable — so a quick update keeps you seen, and keeps you requested. Sign in and set yours at automateamerica.com/auth.

Why availability is now a ranking signal

Every hiring manager has lived this: you find the perfect controls engineer, the perfect industrial electrician, the perfect travel nurse — and they started a twelve-month contract last Tuesday. Stale availability wastes everyone's time. So the new platform treats availability as a first-class signal: professionals who are genuinely ready to work surface first in the professionals directory, and the green AVAILABLE NOW badge shows on your profile where every visitor can see it.

How it works

Mark yourself available from your dashboard — one tap.
You move up. Available professionals rank ahead of unknown and unavailable ones in the list customers browse.
We promote you. Automate America puts available professionals in front of customers looking for their skills — you get surfaced, not just listed.
Keep it fresh. A week without an update and your status decays to unknown, then unavailable. That decay is what makes the badge trustworthy — and why customers act on it.

What it means for customers

When you browse professionals or post an hourly contract, the people you see first are the ones who can actually say yes. Less chasing, fewer dead ends, faster starts.

The habit that pays

Make it part of your Monday: open the app, confirm your availability, done. Between contracts? Available. Booked for six months? Say so — customers respect a clear "unavailable" far more than silence, and your reviews, endorsements, and profile keep working for you either way.
