Publishing your listing gets you into the Marketplace — but where you show up in the results is decided by your visibility score. A higher score means more impressions, higher placement, and more affiliates finding you. This page explains what the score measures and how to raise it.

​
Your visibility score

You’ll find your Marketplace Visibility score in the listing editor, shown as a gauge from 0 to 100 with a plain-language label. It’s your listing’s overall strength, and it maps directly to how you rank:

​
What the score is built from

Select the info icon on the visibility card to open the full breakdown. Your position is a weighted blend of five things — proven performance matters most, because real, recent results are the strongest signal that affiliates will do well with you.

​
How to raise each part

Connect a live integration and keep commissions flowing. Recent, real payouts are the single strongest ranking signal — nothing else moves your score as much.
Make your offer worth an affiliate’s time: competitive commission rates, recurring commissions where you can, and longer payout durations.
Complete every field in your listing — add FAQs and a cover image, and keep payout thresholds low and payout terms fast. This is the part most within your direct control today.
Grow your affiliate base. Signups that come through the marketplace compound this score over time, so a good listing feeds itself.
Sharpen your listing name, logo, and short description so more browsers click through when they see you in results.
Scores recalculate daily against every published listing, so your ranking moves as your program grows and as other listings change. Improvements you make today show up in the next recalculation, not instantly.

​
Earn a boost

On top of your organic score, you can earn a manual boost that lifts your placement further. From the visibility card, open Boost your ranking to see the options.

Leave a review

Review Referly on Trustpilot, Capterra, or G2 and email the published review to support. Once verified, a medium boost is applied to your listing.

Do a case study

Feature in a Referly case study (and Shopify review) to earn maximum visibility — featured placement on the marketplace, a feature on the Referly website with a backlink, and the top visibility score for your listing.
Boosts are applied by the Referly team after they verify your review or schedule your case study — usually within one to two business days.
A boost amplifies your ranking, but a strong organic score is what keeps you there. Fill out your listing completely and keep real commissions flowing first — then use a boost to climb further.
