My matrimonial profile is only partially visible. Why?
Whenever you post a new matrimonial profile or you modify certain information in your profile, the profile is screened by the Customer Relations team of Shaadi.com. During the screening process, only your essential information is displayed. Once the screening process is completed (usually within 24 hours) your profile will be completely visible to everybody. If any modifications are required then you will be informed immediately by email. Profiles are screened to ensure that they follow the terms of use / service agreement of Shaadi.com and to protect your privacy. So if you have recently posted a new profile or modified your profile then we request you to be patient; your profile will be fully visible very soon.

Add an attractive recent photo of yourself to your profile. This is the single most effective step you can take to generate high viewership and also be featured in "Photos only" search results. Read more on why your photograph is important.
Take time to fill your Personal Profile as accurately and completely as possible.
Spend time writing more about your qualitative aspects - aspirations and goals, attitude towards life, your family and your hobbies. Remember, people want to know more about yourself before they decide to express interest in you.
For help, go through the questions given in the "Click here for tips" link, next to the “More About Yourself” section. These questions will help you to describe yourself better.

Add your Partner Profile. If you do not have a Partner Profile, others viewing your profile will not know what kind of partner you are looking for. So, specify the qualities that you are looking for in your mate. Don't be unnecessarily restrictive in your choices. Make multiple selections within a category, if need be.
Also, if you are logged in, every time you use Smart Search, you have an option of saving the various search criteria as your Partner Profile. Thus, you need not create your Partner Profile separately. Of course, you can modify it any time later. Read Partner profile tips
And don't forget! Doing all of the above vastly improves your chances of being seen as a Featured Member on the Shaadi.com Home Page.
Also, read the 7 tips that can change your life to vastly improve your chances of finding your perfect partner.

What is "Activity Factor"?
We have added a new feature called the 'Activity Factor' on every profile.
Activity Factor indicates the chances of your getting a response if you express interest in a member. This is calculated based on the member's past response pattern - ie, of responding to open interests by either accepting or declining.
Keeping your Activity Factor as high as 100% is really very simple- promptly respond to every single interest that you receive.
