How is “relevancy” determined in search results?
The criteria for “relevancy” periodically change and are rebalanced as we monitor actual Marketplace activity. To prevent “gaming the system” abuse (consistent with how other company formulas are implemented, like inworld search rankings and the Risk API), we won’t be revealing exactly how it works. However, we can tell you the formula includes: • Average rating • Past sales over a chosen time period (it could be 1, 7, 15, or 30 days at our discretion) • Sales rank • Search term matching So, our recommended approach to increase your relevancy is: simply create excellent products and market them effectively for the long-term, as explained in our power tips for sellers.
