Every location and niche ranking on Findapeach is rebuilt from scratch every night. Here is exactly what goes into it, ranked by how much each signal moves a creator up the page.
A ranking is only useful if you can tell why someone sits where they do. So instead of a vague list of "signals", here are the actual ingredients of our score, with their real weights, in order of impact.
First: creators compete with their own page
Every number below is converted into a percentile within the page being ranked. A creator in Leeds is measured against the other creators in Leeds, not against the biggest accounts on the internet. Being in the top 10% for likes on the Leeds page counts the same as being in the top 10% on the London page. That keeps smaller cities and niches meaningful, and it stops a handful of global stars from flattening every list.
Share of the score. The click-through bonus is extra: up to 8 points for creators whose click-through rate is above the page's median.
The factors, in order of impact
1. Total likes 34%
The single biggest factor. Lifetime likes are the clearest public record of how many people have enjoyed a creator's content over time. They are hard to fake at scale and they reward a body of work, not one lucky week.
2. Likes gained this month 14%
How many new likes a creator has picked up since the start of the month. This is what lets an active creator climb past a bigger account that has gone quiet.
3. Followers 12%
The size of the audience that chose to keep up with the creator.
4. Likes growth rate 10%
New likes relative to the size of the account. Five thousand new likes means much more to a creator with fifty thousand than to one with five million, so this is where fast-rising smaller creators get recognised.
5. Follower growth 10%
How much the follower count has grown over the last three months.
6. New photos and videos 8%
How much content a creator has added in the last three months. Subscribers want a feed that is alive.
7. Click-through bonus up to +8%
How often Findapeach visitors actually click a creator after seeing them in the results. More on this below, because it is the one factor no stats sheet can predict.
8. Posting momentum 6%
Whether a creator is posting more than they used to: the last three months compared with the three before. A creator who has stepped up gets a lift.
9. Visitor demand 4%
How many times Findapeach visitors have clicked through to a creator's profile overall.
10. Library size 2%
The total number of photos and videos on the account. A small tie-breaker: a big back catalogue is nice, but it matters less than what a creator is doing now.
We give new and rising creators a real shot
A ranking built only on past numbers has a blind spot: a creator who has never been near the top of a page never gets seen, so they never get the chance to show they belong there.
So on every location and niche page, four of the first 48 places are test slots. Two go to creators who joined in the last 60 days. Two go to mid-ranking creators from further down the list. The creators who have been tested least go first, and the slots rotate every day, so a new face gets a fair turn at the top of the page.
Then we watch what visitors do. For every creator we measure the click-through rate: how often people click a creator after the card has actually appeared on their screen. Creators whose click-through rate beats the page's median earn a bonus of up to 8 points, and the higher the rate, the bigger the bonus. Once a creator has been seen enough times, the test slot is no longer needed: their click-through rate carries them up the list on its own.
Some creators simply have something that makes people stop scrolling: a look, a photo, an angle. Likes and follower counts can't measure that. Clicks can.
The rate is measured fairly: we only count a card as seen when at least half of it has been on screen, each card counts once per page view, and we use a rolling 30-day window, so one lucky day doesn't decide anything.
Quality rules that apply before any score
- A working image is required. Profiles whose photos fail to load are not ranked.
- No duplicates. One creator appears once per list, even when they have more than one account record.
- Neon-ring avatars sit lower. Profile photos squeezed inside a glowing ring with no usable banner photo are moved 50 places down. We explained why in The OnlyFans neon circle trend is backfiring.
- Couples photos sit lower on single-creator pages. When the profile photo shows two or more people, the creator is placed after the first 250 results, so people browsing single creators see single creators.
- Verified niches. For tags we can check from the photos, such as tattooed, the first two pages only allow a small share of creators whose images have not been verified.
What we don't use
A free page and a $20 page are ranked on the same signals. Use the free filter if price matters to you.
Stuffing a bio with hashtags doesn't move anyone up.
Being logged in isn't the same as posting. New content and growth are what count.
Older listings get no seniority. New creators get test slots instead.
If you're a creator who wants to rank higher
- Post consistently. Growth, new content and posting momentum together are worth almost half of the score.
- Choose a profile photo that makes people want to click: a clear, well-lit photo of you, without a neon ring.
- Keep a good banner photo on your profile. Cards look better and you avoid the ring-avatar rule.
- Stay patient if you're new. You'll get your turn in a test slot, and a strong click-through rate will do the rest.
The whole ranking is recalculated every night, so every change a creator makes shows up quickly.
