Profile Boost puts your profile at the top of the grid for nearby users for one hour, increasing your visibility within an extended radius. A timer will appear on your profile so you can track how long your Profile Boost is active.
Boosting your profile gives you significantly more exposure, which can lead to more views, more chats, and a better chance of making connections. After your Boost ends, we’ll send you a summary showing how many views and chats you received.
To start boosting your profile, follow the simple steps below.
- Open the Hornet app and go to your Profile.
- Tap Boost and then tap Boost Now.
- When redirected to a payment, confirm your payment details.
Your Profile Boost starts immediately after a successful purchase. While the feature works the same for everyone, performance can vary depending on how many users are active around you. There’s no visible indication to others that you’ve boosted your profile, and during your Boost, the distance indicator on your profile is temporarily hidden.
Here are a few tips to help you get the best results:
- Boost during busy hours. The more users are online, the better your visibility. Evenings tend to be the most active time on Hornet.
- Boost in more populated areas. If you live outside the city, try boosting when you’re in a denser area—you’ll notice the difference.
- Use your best picture as the main photo. Other users see your profile in the grid based on your main image, so choose a strong one.
- Avoid changing your profile photo right before boosting. New photos must pass moderation before going live, so allow some time after uploading.
Please note that Profile Boost is available only in select cities.
