Where you appear in search and how many gig offers you receive isn't random. Here are the factors within your control.
What influences your ranking and lead flow
Reviews — verified post-gig client reviews are weighted most highly in our artist ranking. Your overall score (an average across punctuality, professionalism, communication, and performance) is the star rating shown in search results. Repeatedly low scores can lead to account suspension or removal.
Response time — your average time to respond to client messages is recorded. Slow responses reduce your chances of repeat bookings; fast responses win gigs, since most inquiries are answered within 15 minutes.
Booking activity — actively booking members in good standing receive more gig opportunities.
Profile quality and accuracy — complete profiles with strong media, accurate specialty/genre tags, and clear packages match more inquiries. Wrong tags mean wrong gigs — and lost ones.
Category and location — lead volume varies by art type, city, and season.
Paid visibility
Soul Artists Pro places you at the top of the discover page and your category, and Featured Packs give one-off boosts. Neither guarantees a booking — they multiply the visibility of a profile that's already strong.
Quick wins
Turn on app notifications and answer every inquiry the day it arrives.
Collect reviews after every gig, and add external reviews to your profile.
