The ranking update protects established match quality while leaving new repair pros unseen.
Homeowner contact quality depends on relevant professionals, while supply health depends on giving eligible new pros a real first chance.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My profile is live, but I’ve spent three days refreshing it with nothing to answer.”
Marta Greco · Newly Onboarded Electrician
A qualified professional who completed onboarding and depends on early homeowner requests to see value in the marketplace.
What is at stake
Eligible new repair pros are not receiving enough homeowner requests after a ranking update. You have to weigh faster activation against homeowner match quality and model safety.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- new-pro activation vs homeowner match quality
- fast correction vs reproducible deployment
- ranking exposure vs qualified requests
- shared serving stability vs targeted intervention
