How ranking works
MarketBase scores public SEO signals for free, then reveals ranks once a day at 00:00 UTC. Verified Stripe and Search Console data unlock revenue rankings — never a paid boost.
Placement is never for sale.
Paid plans unlock deeper benchmarks and history. They never change your SEO score or rank. The rank computation does not read billing tables.
Public SEO rubric (v0.1)
67 checks across 9 weighted categories. Anything we cannot measure is marked not measured and removed from the denominator.
| Category | Weight |
|---|---|
| Indexability | 20 |
| Technical | 12 |
| On-page | 16 |
| Content | 16 |
| Performance | 12 |
| Structured data | 7 |
| Social & sharing | 6 |
| Trust (E-E-A-T) | 6 |
| AI-search readiness | 5 |
Daily reveal
Scores can update when you rescan (once per 24h). Ranks freeze and publish at 00:00 UTC when a cohort has at least 10 sites.
Unverified vs Verified
Unverified profiles use public crawl signals only. Connecting Search Console and Stripe proves ownership and unlocks real clicks and MRR.
Anti-gaming
One profile per registrable domain, polite crawl respecting robots.txt, no score bonus for sharing or embedding the badge.
