Ah, travel lift marks.
On previous boats I got bright coloured adhesive vinyl offcuts out of the bin at signage places and simply cut triangles (arrow heads).
Fix these above the waterline where the strap goes.
On this one I took a photo with my tablet when she was hanging.
Simply send the pic in email when booking and have on hand when doing lift.

OK, so there's not a nautical tradition to follow for marking haulout sling signage. I'll follow the majority's suggestion & lay it out horizontal. Issue is HEY JUDE has bilge keels or chocks that need protection from straps.

I wouldn’t worry too much, not that many boats get dropped...

Honestly, there's no rule. You could paint little smiley faces and tell the operator to put the slings there.
