On this page we explain what determines the order of listings and profiles on DiasHome. We name the main parameters and how they relate to each other, but we don’t disclose technical details that would help people get around the rules.

What appears in the results

• Only published listings and profiles: those that have passed the check, have a current display period, are not paused and are not hidden pending a moderator’s decision. Content from blocked accounts is not shown.
• The results always match the selected location, section, category and filters. Listings marked “Whole country” appear in searches across the whole country.
• Filters narrow the list: price, offers or requests, the specialist’s language, online services, with photos only, verified only, category fields and the radius around the city.

Order of listings

“Newest first” — the default sorting

Listings that were published or bumped more recently come first. In the “Specialists and services” section, the plan of the author’s account comes first: listings by specialists and companies with Premium come before Pro, those with Pro before Free, and within each group they are ordered by the date of publishing or bumping.

“Most relevant” — searching by query

When you enter a search query, the match with the listing text becomes the main factor: the title and description are taken into account, as well as word forms and small typos in the title. Listings that contain all the words of the query are shown. Where the match is equal, the same order applies as with “Newest first” sorting.

Other sorting options

• “Cheapest first” and “Most expensive first” — by price only. The plan and promotion don’t affect this order.
• “Nearest first” — by distance only.

What doesn’t affect the order

Rating, reviews, views and the “Verified” badge don’t change a listing’s position in the list — you can select verified authors with a filter. We don’t tailor the results to individual visitors: with the same search conditions, the main list looks the same for everyone.

Order of profiles

In the catalogue of specialists, companies and places, profiles are ordered as follows:

1. the account’s plan — Premium, then Pro, then Free;
2. the “Verified” badge;
3. the average rating and the number of reviews;
4. the date the profile was published.

A search query narrows the list of profiles but doesn’t change this order.

Paid placements

• TOP — the listing is shown in the “TOP listings” block above the results in its city and category.
• VIP — the listing is shown in TOP and in the “VIP listings” block on the home page of the city and the country, and it gets a highlight.
• Premium — listings by specialists and companies with Premium are also shown in the block above the results, and their profiles get the “Recommended” badge.
• Highlight — an “Urgent”, “Sale” or “New” label on the photo. It doesn’t affect the order.
• Bump — the listing gets a new date and moves up just like a newly published one.

The block above the results is shown on the first page unless sorting by price or distance is selected, and it takes your query and filters into account. It has only a few places, so the listings in it take turns. A listing from this block isn’t repeated in the main list. The “TOP listings” and “VIP listings” blocks are always labelled “Ad”.

The number of paid places in each city and category is limited. If there are no places left, you can buy TOP, VIP or Premium once a place frees up — we show the date in advance.

Advertising

Ad banners on home pages, in the catalogue and on listing pages are labelled “Ad” and show the advertiser’s name. They don’t change the order of listings. We show ads based on the location, section and language of the page and don’t use your personal data for this.

What can’t be bought

Money can’t change a moderator’s decision, get you the “Verified” badge without a document check, hide, delete or buy a review, or change a rating.

Why the order changes

• new and bumped listings appear all the time;
• paid placements take turns;
• a listing’s display period may have ended, or the listing may have been paused or hidden pending a check.
