How we rank healers
Rankings on HealerBay, including every Top 10 page, use one published formula. Paid placement never changes rank. Any sponsored slot is labelled Sponsored and sits outside the numbered list.
40%

- Stars are hidden until a healer has at least 3 reviews. Until then we show New on HealerBay.
- Unclaimed profiles can only appear below bookable healers, are marked Not yet on HealerBay, and never show stars.
- A ranked page is published only when at least 5 qualifying healers exist.
