Ranking model
Position is earned, never bought.
Haystayk organizes businesses around what a customer searched for, where they need help, and the useful information available on each profile.
The formula
The clearest match comes first: the right service, in the right place, with enough information to make a decision.
service match + neighborhood fit + useful profile detail
