Marketplace SEO? | Forum

idayrare corded
Hi everyone,

I have an asset on the Marketplace called The Ultimate Platformer EngineIt's an engine for platformer games.

When I go to the marketplace and search "Ultimate Platformer Engine" right now, it shows up as the 119th's search result, page 4. Even when I put the search in quotes I get the same results.

Is this just how the Marketplace is, or are there proper ways for dealing with SEO on the marketplace? Seems a little crazy that a search specifically for the name of this project would show up soooo far back in search results.

Thanks,
TingThing

Yeah, marketplace search can be a real pain. I’ve had similar issues where even searching the exact name of something barely pulls it up. It feels like the algorithm doesn’t care about keywords as much as it does things like sales, reviews, or traffic.

When I dealt with this, I started driving traffic from outside sources—posting about my stuff on forums, socials, and even my own site. That helped get more attention and pushed it up in the marketplace rankings over time. Honestly, using tools like bing seo to boost visibility in search engines can help too. If people are finding it outside the marketplace, it could lead to more clicks and sales, which might give it a nudge in their system.
