Search is not a black box. It rewards completeness, responsiveness, and proven reliability — all things within your control. If you understand what the ranking optimizes for, you can climb the results deliberately rather than hoping.
Completeness signals
Profiles with full media, clear pricing, and detailed descriptions rank higher because they convert better. Search optimizes for the listings most likely to result in a booking, so every empty field you fill in is a small ranking gain.
Responsiveness and reliability
Fast replies and a track record of completed, well-reviewed bookings compound over time. Consistency is the strongest long-term ranking lever you have — far more durable than any one-time optimization.
- Fill every profile field, including the optional ones
- Add recent, high-quality media and refresh it periodically
- Reply to inquiries within the hour whenever you can
- Deliver reliably and ask satisfied clients for a review
You cannot game the ranking, but you can earn it. Every signal it rewards is a signal that wins real bookings too.
