FAQ

Can Helpy guarantee the first position?

Top Listing gives the highest visibility priority, but exact placement may still depend on location, category, competition, customer relevance, and available promotional spots.

Why does my listing position change?

Search results are dynamic. Promotions, customer activity, freshness, reviews, listing quality, category, and location can all affect visibility.

Does Featured mean my listing will always be first?

No. Featured gives your listing additional visibility and a visual highlight, but Top Listing and Bump Up may have higher visibility priority.

How can I improve my ranking without promotion?

Use a clear title, add a helpful summary, write a detailed description, upload real photos, collect reviews, respond to customers, and keep your listing up to date.

Can I use more than one promotion at the same time for the same listing?

No. Only one promotion type can be active on a listing at a time. For example, a listing cannot be Top, Bump Up, and Featured at the same time.
