# I am not getting matches

A match needs a like from both sides. Things that help: clear photos, a finished profile, the verified badge, wider preferences and using Daily.

A match happens only when two people like each other, so there are two things to work on: being shown to more of the right people, and giving them a reason to like you back. Nothing here guarantees a match, but each step reflects how Murudo actually works.

## Make sure you are being shown

- Open the **Profile** tab. If you see **Profile info not complete**, your profile is not shown to anyone until you finish it. See [Why is my profile not being shown?](https://help.murudo.co/profile/profile-not-showing/)
- Check that your account is not paused: **Profile**, **Settings**, **Privacy and security**.
- Open Murudo regularly. People who used Murudo recently are shown before people who have been away.

## Give people a reason to like you

- **Photos.** Use bright photos where your face is clear, and more than one. See [Add, replace or reorder your photos](https://help.murudo.co/profile/add-or-change-photos/).
- **Bio and prompts.** Write a sentence or two and answer at least one prompt. A profile with at least two clear photos, a real bio and a prompt gives people something to reply to, and Murudo does more for a complete profile than for an empty one.
- **Get verified.** Among people active at about the same time, verified profiles are shown first. See [Get the verified badge](https://help.murudo.co/profile/get-verified/).
- More ideas are in [Tips for a profile that gets replies](https://help.murudo.co/profile/profile-tips/).

## Like more of the right people

- Use your likes. Nobody can match with you until you like them or they like you.
- Widen your **Age Range** and **Max Distance**. Your age range starts at only three years either side of your own age. See [Set your distance, age range and who you want to date](https://help.murudo.co/finding-people/match-preferences/).
- Open **Likes** every day. Liking someone back from **Liked You** is a match straight away. See [See who liked you](https://help.murudo.co/finding-people/see-who-liked-you/).

## Use Daily

Open the **Daily** tab each day and tap **Reach out** when someone fits. A reach-out goes to the person with your message, and it does not use a like. Also look in **Matches**, under **Daily**, for requests sent to you. See [How Daily works](https://help.murudo.co/finding-people/how-daily-works/).

## Paid options

These are optional.

- A [boost](https://help.murudo.co/finding-people/what-a-boost-does/) puts you first in For You for 30 minutes.
- Plus and Gold give unlimited likes, show you everyone who liked you, and are shown earlier in For You. See [Free, Plus and Gold compared](https://help.murudo.co/premium-and-payments/plans-compared/).

## When you do match

Say hello soon. See [Send your first message](https://help.murudo.co/matches-and-chat/send-your-first-message/).

## On Murudo Web

Everything here applies on Murudo Web too. The For You tab is called **Discover** there, and Match Preferences are under **Profile**, **Settings**, **Discovery Preferences**.
