Ranking policy

After registering on Barb.pro, the profile of the master and organization appears in the ads of his city:

  • in the category of specialization specified when adding* (for example, Manicurists, Nail studios);
  • in the catalog of services that are marked in the price list of the master/organization or added on separate pages (for example, Manicure).

 

The order in which profiles appear on all Barb listings is automatically determined based on the following factors:

  1. Profile filling quality
  2. Master/organization activity on the portal
  3. New reviews
  4. Account type (Free, Pro, Max)

 

1. Profile filling quality

For each item below, the system gives the profile a certain number of points. The more points, the higher the profile is in the listing.

The following nuances of filling out the profile affect the ranking:

 

1. The quality of the organization's logo / master's profile photo

The organization needs to upload a recognizable logo by which customers can recognize the entrance to the salon when they see a sign on the street.

The master needs to upload a clear portrait photo, by which the client will be able to recognize the master at the first meeting.

Not allowed:

  • images with phone numbers, links, hashtags and other inscriptions, except for the name of the organization;
  • photo of body parts (hands, nails, hair);
  • photo of the master, on which the face is not visible.

 

2. Portfolio content, cabinet photos

Photos of work should reflect the essence of the procedure (for example, a process or before and after photo).

Photos of the interior of cabinet should be related to the services and procedures provided by the organization or master (no need to add, for example, a photo of a chandelier or an aquarium from the salon).

 

3. Price list content

Ranking is affected by:

  • number of services marked in the price list (the more services are marked, the more rubrics the profile will be displayed);
  • filling in prices and duration of procedures.

 

4. Separate main procedure pages

In addition to price lists, masters and organizations can add separate procedure pages (no limit). The presence of procedures pages with detailed descriptions and photos also affects the ranking in the catalog.

 

5. Special offers available

The most attractive special offers not only improve rankings, but also get into the daily mailing list of Barb.pro subscribers.

Special offers attractiveness factors:

  • real financial benefit for clients;
  • quality design (understandable description, attractive photo).

6. Discount with promo code “Barb”

Barb helps thousands of beauty professionals and organizations around the world find new clients. We want beauty professionals and organizations to know about this. Therefore, all profiles that have an activated discount using the “Barb” promo code are shown in the catalog above.

Beauty masters and organizations independently determine the size of the discount.

 

7. Contacts, links to social networks.

Indicate all reception addresses, contact numbers and the possibility of communication through messengers. Add links to active social networks. These data inspire more confidence in the profile of masters and organizations, so we rank them higher

 

8. For organizations - adding specialists

It is important for clients to know who works in the salon or medical center - what education and experience the specialists have, how many years they have been working in this field.
That's why, we give additional points to organizations that add their specialists to the profile.

There are two ways to add specialists:
- the master is added to Barb.pro on his own and indicates in the profile the organization in which he works - his profile will be pulled up to the organization's page automatically;
- the organization adds the masters itself through the "Specialists" form in their account.

When filling out your profile, pay attention to the moderator's comments - these are tips on how to improve your profile and rise above in the Barb.pro catalog.

 

2. Master/organization activity on the portal

It is important for us that each client can get feedback as quickly as possible from the master or the organization that interested him. This is possible only if the owners of profiles regularly log into their account on Barb.pro - respond to client messages, react to reviews, update information about yourself.

Profiles, the owners of which do not enter the account, lose positions in the catalog and are ranked lower.

To regularly raise your profile higher, check daily for messages from clients in your account, respond to messages and reviews.
