Manage Product Listing Order with Metafields

All products in the Convermax product listing have a ranking score, which determines their placement in search results. The higher the score, the higher the product will rank.

You can influence the position of specific products or products of certain collections by adjusting their ranking scores with the convermax.boost metafield.

Default Boost Parameters

The default boost coefficients are ranked from highest to lowest as follows:

  1. Order count
  2. View count
  3. Vehicle specific product
  4. Universal product
  5. In-stock products
  6. Available products
  7. Products with images
  8. Review score
  9. Sort Order
  10. Random value for mixing

Create the Boost Metafields

To use the convermax.boost metafield, configure it in the Convermax Shopify app:

  1. Open the Convermax app in your Shopify admin.
  2. Go to the Metafields tab.
  3. Create definitions for both Product Boost and Collection Boost.

Manage the Boost

The final boost score is calculated by combining the product, category, and brand boost scores.

The default boost value is below 10.0. To boost products, it is sufficient to set a custom boost value to 1.5. If a product needs to be upgraded independently of the default parameters, a value of 10.0 should be enough.

Search Query Boost: An additional boost is applied to products that match the search query.

Negative Boost: A negative boost value can lower a product’s ranking in search results.

Category Boost: If a product belongs to multiple categories with boost scores, the highest category boost will be applied.

Add Boost to a Product

The Product Boost metafield lets you adjust the ranking score for individual products:

  1. In your Shopify dashboard, select the product you want to modify.
  2. Go to the product’s Metafields section and click the Product Boost metafield.
  3. Enter a value to boost or demote the product in search results.

Add Boost to a Collection

The Collection Boost metafield allows you to adjust the ranking score for all products in a specific collection:

  1. In your Shopify dashboard, select the collection you want to modify.
  2. Go to the collection’s Metafields section and click the Collection Boost metafield.
  3. Enter a value to boost or demote products from the collection in search results.
