Is there a new formula for search result standings?

Does anyone know what the new algorithm looks for when placing search results? I get requests daily and book 98% of the requests I get -- I have 50+ reviews and good standing, however there are newer profiles that are scoring higher in search results and just wanted to see if anyone knew why?

I have this same question four years later. I used to be pretty high up in the search results for my ZIP Code, but I recently had to turn down four dogs in a row because they were all dog aggressive/reactive and I board multiple dogs at a time. Now I am way way down on the list. Anyone else?

This JUST happened to me as well. I am in a more rural area of Texas and for the last 8 months or so have been anywhere between number 1 and 5 on the search rankings. Just tonight I noticed it is even hard to find my profile! I finally did several pages later after getting results for sitters 40 miles away. I hope this is just temporary...

Same question. I have 20+ reviews, 50+ pictures, full profile, and 12 years experience with the background check completed. Yet people with no pictures, no reviews, and a crappy bio are showing up, when I'm not even on the board. Even in my city, and my availability calendar is updated.

You are #4 for boarding in your area. You cannot see yourself because the app knows it is you. You have to sign out and use a different browser in order to see your own placement.

Hi fellow Wisconsinners! I think the "newbies" get ranked high (in their start of their sitting career) to give them a chance to get business. I think once they would get bookings, they fall into the "normal line" based on bookings/ratings. At least that is how I've understood the way we are all ranked in searches.

How long do you think one is still considered a newbie? I started NYE and am number 1 in my zip code currently.
