How do I make sure that my products are found as well as possible on chembid?

The search engine algorithm combines different factors that influence the ranking of your product offer.
We recommend to maintain the product detail pages on the external marketplaces well and provide as much detail as possible. The product title should contain the common chemical name. We advise against using additional keywords such as „cheap“, „free shipping“ etc. in the product title, as such words can influence the ranking.
Even if fixed prices can not always be mentioned, a price range serves as a reference point for the buyer to ask you for the exact price at another time.
The CAS number and details such as grade/quality, Incoterm and unit of measurement can also influence the ranking.

Why is my offer not among the first search results despite detailed product information?

The search results always depend on the user’s search term. Other product offers may match the search query better in terms of product title and product details.

If there are several equivalent offers, it is possible that your offer is not displayed in the first positions of the search results despite a high degree of fit. In this case, we recommend that you advertise your products through chembid Product Ads in order to survive in a highly competitive environment. In this way, you can ensure that your products are placed at the top of the search results and can be found quickly by interested buyers. Contact us now to learn more about advertising opportunities on chembid.com.
