When does my profile appear in Discover?
Your profile will appear in Discover once it meets the listing rules. This article explains when profiles appear in Discover.
An eligible supplier profile needs a valid Main picture or logo and a valid Country before it can appear in public discovery. These fields do not turn a promotion-side account into a supplier.
Appear in Discover: what you need to know
- Save the Main picture and Country in the existing editor. Town and region improve precision but are not the minimum location requirement.
- An earning-side Author or Bookstore follows the existing supplier account rules. A promotion-side Author remains outside the main supplier Discover population.
- An old published profile can still be hidden if it does not meet readiness rules. A new identity label, by itself, does not publish or verify the profile.
- Use accurate fuller profile details and allow the normal index/cache refresh. If an eligible account remains missing, send support the public URL and screenshots of the saved required fields.
Common questions about how to appear in Discover
What do I need to appear in Discover?
A published profile with a main profile image and a country saved in My Profile. Those are the listing rules; everything else, such as a bio, validated audience figures and reviews, improves how you rank and how often you are chosen, but is not needed to be listed.
How soon will I appear in Discover after completing my profile?
Normally as soon as you save. A cached copy of the directory may take a little while to refresh, so check in a private window if you do not see yourself immediately.
Do I appear in Discover for visitors who are not members?
Yes. The member directory is open to visitors, which is how Pioneers who have not yet joined find creators, shops and venues to approach. Only public profile fields are shown.
Can I choose not to appear in Discover?
Leave the profile unpublished or remove the main image and you will not be listed, although you will also receive fewer approaches. Most members are better served by being listed with an accurate location.
Why do I appear in Discover but low down the results?
Discover ranks by relevance to the filters a member applies, together with validated figures, completed deals and reviews. Completing your profile, connecting social accounts and finishing a first deal all move you up.
If you have completed everything and still cannot see yourself, sign out and search in a private window, because a signed-in view can show a cached page from before the change.
In short, to appear in Discover you need a published profile, a main image and a country, and to be chosen from it you need the signals that only completed work and connected accounts provide.
