Let’s talk about how you rank in search results

Thank you to these pros as well for participating in our Q&A! We heard from you that you'd like more information on what factors into ranking. Check out my response to a similar post above (also linked here)! Thanks again!

I feel that my question was either skipped over or not understood. I was asking if there is a ranking by course that I tutor or if there is just one ranking covering all courses now.

@Celestra your ranking will first be based on the things that Scott has mentioned. However, where you show up can also vary based on the competition in each service. For example, you may show up in one spot for a search in high school tutoring and algebra, but in a different search like undergrad/stats, you may show up somewhere else if there is a larger or lesser amount of pros. Hope that helps clarify and answer your question.

What is the level next to the pros comments mean?

[Kameron]

@mcierley the level shown refers to the amount of activity that pro has had in the Community so far.

Thank you

Thank you!

[Petehayden]

I am seriously and completely unsatisified with the explanation.

[mcierley]

This is very vague. Can you elaborate on the criteria for ranking?

I responded to Thumbtack about the new system and my displeasure with it. They did address a huge area that negatively affected my ability to quote. Yet I wish they would do due diligence acting as a Top Pro before they initiate.
