Being listed on Xcortly and being findable on Xcortly are two different things. A handful of concrete factors decide whether your profile actually surfaces when someone searches.
Match City and Category Exactly
City and country pages, and filtered search, match against the exact values on your profile. If your working city isn't set precisely, you simply won't appear on that city's page, no matter how complete the rest of your profile is.
Fill In Every Field You Can
Filters for age range, nationality, service type, and similar details only surface profiles that actually have those fields filled in. An empty field doesn't show as "anything goes" to a filtered search — it just excludes you from it.
Reviews Move You Up, Not Just Look Good
Listings are sorted with rating as a primary factor on both city pages and the main explore page — it's not purely decorative. A handful of genuine reviews has a direct, measurable effect on where you land in the order clients actually see.
Working Photos Are Part of Being Found
A broken image doesn't just look bad on your own profile — some of the ways clients browse rely on the photo loading at all. If you haven't checked your listing's photos recently, it's worth a look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does having more photos help me get found in search?
Search and filtering are driven by your profile fields and rating, not photo count directly — but a listing with working, current photos gets far more actual engagement once someone does find it.
Why don't I show up when someone filters by nationality or service type?
Most likely that field is empty on your profile. Filtered search only matches profiles with the field actually filled in.
