How Wildberries Search Works — Explained Simply
Wildberries search ranks product cards by several groups of signals: relevance (whether the query appears in the title, description, and attributes), behavior (CTR in search results, add-to-cart actions, orders, buyout rate), commercial factors (price, stock levels, delivery speed and zone / localization), and reputation (rating and reviews). The stronger the combination, the higher the position for the query.
In short: relevance × behavior × price/logistics × rating = position.
The Wildberries Ranking Algorithm: Factor Groups
- Relevance: the query must appear in the card (see semantic core).
- Behavior: shoppers click the card, add it to cart, and buy it out — the algorithm reads it as strong.
- Commerce: competitive price, stock in nearby warehouses, fast delivery (localization).
- Reputation: rating and reviews build trust and lift conversion.
Ozon uses a similar factor set, but price and advertising carry noticeably more weight: how Ozon search works.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
"What factors does Wildberries search rank by?" Relevance (keywords in the card), behavior (CTR, cart adds, orders, buyout rate), commercial factors (price, stock, delivery), and reputation (rating, reviews).
"Why isn't a card with the right keywords at the top?" Relevance earns impressions, but positions are driven up by behavior and sales for the query. Without clicks and orders, keywords alone won't take you to the top.
"What is localization in WB search results?" The impact of warehouse and delivery zone: a product shipped from a nearby warehouse with fast delivery ranks higher for shoppers in that region.
"How do I move a card up in WB search?" Build a relevant semantic core, fill in all attributes, keep price and stock competitive, and grow behavioral signals and reviews.
