I hired a Professional Genealogist to check my research and conduct their own for my family tree. I emailed her about what info I should include when crediting her work, name, company, contact info. Is there a certain format to follow or do I just write "reasearch conducted by...."?

There's no enforcement of any particular format, but you may want to put an "Acknowledgments" section at the bottom of the profile.

See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Acknowledgements

I've done this a few times when I've felt the need to credit others for particularly valuable work, see for instance https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Olsen-6195

Excellent. Thank you very much! Many other people's trees on other sites like Ancestry, had my great-great-grandfather married to his cousin once removed. This has been proven false.
