When a client searches for a professional on Bark Marketplace, they're shown a list of matched professionals. Where you appear in that list depends on a combination of factors:
| Ranking factor | What it means |
| Profile completeness | How much information you have added to your profile — photos, description, pricing, reviews |
| Quality of service | Your reviews and ratings on Bark and Google |
| Subscription plan | Your subscription plan tier and remaining monthly enquiries |
| Relevance | How well your settings and location match the client's search |
| Responsiveness | How quickly you reply to new enquiries |
Professionals who rank in the Top 5 appear in the first five results shown to clients. Those in the Top 3 have the highest visibility of all. You can see how often you appear in the Top 5 and Top 3 from your Performance dashboard
The best way to improve your ranking is to complete your profile, build your reviews, keep your settings accurate, and respond to enquiries quickly.
