Cheap test: works in a browser as well as on a phone, so Ottawa members need no app install.
Report and block tools work on the free tier for every Ottawa member, not just paying ones.
Often overlooked: free messaging applies to every Ottawa member from the first day.

Low effort: add three to five clear photos before you start browsing Ottawa and it takes about a minute.

Mention a specific place in Ottawa in your bio; it gives people something to open with.
Quick one: check at different times of day, because activity in Ottawa is not evenly spread.
