Search and Ranking in Marketplaces

Rely Tech Serve

Marketplace search and ranking algorithms determine which products surface for buyers. Understanding how they work helps sellers optimise.

Ranking Factors

Relevance (query, attributes), performance (conversion, feedback), and business factors (fees, fulfillment). Each marketplace weights differently. Amazon emphasises conversion; eBay emphasises seller performance.

What Sellers Can Do

Optimise titles, images, and descriptions for search. Improve conversion and feedback. Use promoted listings for visibility. Follow platform best practices.

Platform Differences

Amazon: A9/A10 algorithm, sponsored ads, FBA boost. eBay: relevance and seller rating. Etsy: SEO and engagement. Each platform has its own playbook.
