We know how search engines such as Google find, index and display results to a searcher’s queries. But how does TeachStreet display results when a searcher uses the site? In this article we discuss how TeachStreet Search operates, and tips you can use to increase your ranking in search.
Search on TeachStreet is very similar to searching Google – results containing matching keywords are displayed according to the searcher’s query. However, TeachStreet search is also dynamic meaning that Teacher’s can affect how their listings display in search results by taking certain actions.
There are certain things that will always help a Teacher’s listing display better in search results. These include having listings and available sessions, reviews, prices, accepting enrollments, and being a Pro member.
There are also actions that a Teacher can do on a regular basis to give their listings little, short term boosts in results. These actions include:
- Accept enrollments
- Replying to messages
- Creating and sending invoices
- Adding/Updating sessions
- Requesting reviews
- Writing articles
- Adding photos and other media
By being active on TeachStreet and doing any or all of the above actions on a regular basis, a teacher can keep their listings and sessions vibrant and up-to-date, place higher in search results, and gain more students.
