Wiselists let you:

1. Save Tutors - Bookmark your favourite tutors for easy access
2. Organize Collections - Create themed lists (by subject, level, location)
3. Share Publicly - Generate shareable links for your lists
4. Track Attribution - See which lists drive the most bookings
5. Collaborate - Invite others to co-edit lists with you

Wiselist Attribution Tracking ❌ REMOVED

How Attribution Works (No Longer Applicable)

When you share a wiselist publicly, we track its impact:

This feature has been removed. Below is the original documentation for reference:

Attribution Flow:

1. Someone clicks your shared wiselist link
2. We set a tracking cookie (7-day attribution window)
3. If they book a tutor from your list within 7 days
4. That booking is attributed to your wiselist
5. You can see this in your wiselist analytics

What Gets Tracked: None - feature removed

• Wiselist views (how many people opened your link)
• Tutors viewed from your list
• Bookings made from your shared list
• Conversion rate (views → bookings)

Creating High-Impact Lists

Quality Over Quantity:

• Curate carefully (only great tutors)
• Write compelling descriptions
• Focus on specific niches
• Update regularly with new finds

Strategic Sharing:

• Target relevant communities
• Share during peak search times (August for GCSE, January for 11+)
• Build trust before promoting
• Provide genuine value, not just links

Optimize for Discovery:

• Use clear, searchable names
• Include location and subject
• Add helpful selection criteria
• Keep lists focused (5-15 tutors ideal)

Troubleshooting

Q: Can I save listings instead of just tutors? A: Currently, wiselists support tutors only. Saving specific listings is coming soon!

Q: Why isn't my shared link working? A: Check that visibility is set to "Public". Private lists don't generate working share links.

Q: How do I track bookings from my wiselists? A: Visit your individual wiselist page to see attribution stats, including how many bookings came from your shared link.

Q: Can I export my wiselist? A: Not currently, but you can share the public link or take screenshots. CSV export coming soon!

Q: Someone removed me as a collaborator. Can I get access back? A: No, only the list owner can re-invite you. Request access from them directly.

Q: Do wiselists expire? A: No, wiselists remain active indefinitely unless you delete them.

Q: How many wiselists can I create? A: Unlimited! Create as many as you need for different purposes.

Q: Will tutors know if I save them to a wiselist? A: No, tutors only see their total save count, not who saved them or which lists they're in.
