Core Ranking Principles
Profiles filled out 100% with verified contact details, logo, and categories are prioritized. A complete profile helps users trust your listing and improves indexing weight.
Meaningful, verified customer reviews boost your visibility. Repetitive or fake reviews are penalized and will reduce indexing rank.
Profiles shared across platforms (email, social networks, partner sites) signal real-world relevance and increase ranking weight.
How often a company is searched and how many times its profile or posts are viewed are strong signals of popularity and relevance.
Detailed Ranking Factors
- Profile completion (highest weight): business name, logo, address, phone, website, category, working hours, and an informative "About" section.
- Verification: email, phone or document verification increases trust score and ranking.
- Reviews: number of reviews, recency, review authenticity, and review quality (detailed, helpful reviews) matter most.
- Shares & referrals: external shares and referrals strengthen your authority signal.
- Content & posts: published articles, case studies, or updates that receive views and interactions improve ranking.
- User engagement metrics: CTR on your profile, time-on-page, bounce rate and repeat visits influence indexing positively.
- Spam / fake behavior: detected fake reviews, manipulated metrics, or blackhat techniques will reduce ranking or suspend listing.
Stage & Progress Tracking (How to Level Up)
We use a progress system so businesses know how close they are to better visibility. Each stage has a clear target .
Each stage defines goals for:
- Verified reviews to collect
- Profile completeness score
- Minimum profile views or searches
Reaching higher stages gradually increases search ranking boost, visibility in category pages, and priority in featured lists.
