An effort to show you more relevant results.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you may have seen, we recently gave our search experience<\/a> a makeover. From richer cards to instant results, to better filters; we hope the new interface allows you to find what you want, faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But improving the design is only the beginning. When you perform a search, deciding which<\/em> listings to show you, along with the order<\/em> of those listings, is equally as important. 

So today, we are introducing a new sorting system to deliver the highest quality<\/strong> and most relevant<\/strong> results every time you search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you search on Flippa, results are sorted by Most Relevant<\/strong> by default. We\u2019ve tweaked our relevancy rules to ensure the listings we show you more closely match what you searched for. 

In addition, we now emphasize and boost our best listings<\/strong> so they appear closer to the top of results. We do this by putting a focus on quality listings and trustworthy sellers. The purpose is to give higher quality listings more visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can buyers see better results?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a buyer, there is nothing special you need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you sort by Most Relevant, you will see better quality results at the top. In fact, over time the system will get smarter. As buyers \u201cvote\u201d with their actions, the system will learn more about what constitutes quality, and better match specific buyers to listings suited for them.

Please note that while \u2018Most Relevant\u2019 sorting is subjective<\/em>, other options (such as \u2018Lowest Price\u2019, \u2018Ending Soonest\u2019, or \u2018Most Active\u2019) are objective<\/em>. This means that if you use these other sorting options, the results will be returned purely as an objective list, and will not have any special sorting applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upgrades<\/strong>. While it\u2019s not a surefire way to rise to the top, purchasing an upgrade will certainly help put your listing in front of more buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can sellers maximize listing views?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a seller, you may be wondering how you can receive more exposure in search results. There are a number of factors we take into consideration when assessing the quality of a business. It will become critical that you put these practices in place in order to influence your priority in search results.
