On a creator marketplace, the profiles at the top are not the prettiest. They are the ones that make the buyer's decision easy and that reply fast.

What actually moves a profile up

  1. Response time. The strongest signal, because a brand on a deadline cannot afford to wait two days.
  2. Completion rate. Jobs accepted and delivered on time.
  3. Recent reviews, more than numerous reviews.
  4. Consistency between profile and delivery. Promise one thing and deliver another and you get lukewarm reviews, and lukewarm reviews cost more than they look.

The settings almost nobody touches

Categories

Select two or three precise ones, not all of them. Appearing everywhere means appearing at the bottom everywhere.

Availability

If you are full, say so: disappearing from search for two weeks is worth less than a bad review for a late delivery.

Language

Italian and English, to catch the foreign brands selling into Italy too.

Minimum price

It filters out the enquiries that would never reach an agreement.

The first month counts double

New profiles have little data, so the platform shows them cautiously. The fastest way out is to accept the first two jobs even if small, deliver early and ask for the review. That is not a pricing strategy, it is a data strategy.

What not to do

Do not cut your price to climb the ranking. It attracts enquiries that do not pay and produces reviews from difficult clients. A low price is not a competitive advantage on a marketplace, it is ballast.
