# Rankings

> Where you rank for the searches agents actually run.

Being listed is not enough. An agent searching for "company enrichment" sees a ranked list and usually tries the top few results. **Rankings** shows where each of your paid routes appears for the searches that matter to it.

## How it works

1. **Queries.** For every active paid x402 route, Forge writes seven realistic search queries from its name and description. One is **branded**, including your service's name. The other six are generic, the way an agent that has never heard of you would search.
2. **Search.** Forge runs each query where agents search and records your position in the top ten. It never calls or pays for any result.

   | Surface | Searches | You need a listing on |
   |---|---|---|
   | **Bazaar** | Coinbase CDP Bazaar, through Bazaar MCP | Coinbase CDP Bazaar |
   | **AgentCash** | AgentCash's API search | x402scan |
   | **Pay CLI** | The pay.sh catalog | PayAI Bazaar |
   | **Tempo** | The mpp.dev directory | MPP.dev |

   A route that isn't listed where a surface searches shows **Requires listing** instead of a position. See [Marketplaces](https://docs.forgeintel.co/marketplaces) to get listed.
3. **Track.** Scans run when you add a service, every day at 03:00 UTC, and when you refresh. Queries stay the same between daily scans, so positions are comparable over time.

## What you see

Pick a route to see:

- **Queries:** your position for each query and the change since the last scan.
- **Leaderboard:** who ranks for the selected query, on the surface you choose.
- **Rank history:** how your position has moved over time.

The refresh button writes new queries for every active route and runs a new scan. You can refresh once every five minutes.
