Learn about the Contractor Finder search algorithm
As part of your participation in the Contractor Hub your business profile is displayed to customers searching for contractors on the Contractor Finder.
We've designed a custom search algorithm to prioritize fairness, relevance, and usefulness for both you and customers using the Power Ahead Colorado Contractor Finder.
Here’s how it works:
-
Google reviews: The system factors in your business’s Google rating and the number of reviews associated with your Google Maps account. High ratings and consistent customer feedback help your business stand out.
-
Proximity to the customer: Searches are tailored to the location provided by the customer (such as a zip code or city), prioritizing contractors who are closer to the customer’s location.
-
Response score: Fast responses create better experiences for customers. To ensure customers aren't left waiting, we factor in how quickly you respond to new leads. Contractors who consistently respond promptly are more likely to appear higher in search results.
-
Randomization: To create balance and ensure equitable visibility, a small randomization component is included. This means the order of results may vary slightly for each customer, giving all contractors in a competitive area a fair chance to be seen.
