According to Framer, the Trending ranking is not actually dynamic, and there is no set timeline for when rankings will be better at surfacing active contributors.
Many Experts have reached out to me privately, which is why I wanted to put this here to hopefully start an important public conversation. Would love to pool what we know here and give Framer constructive feedback.
______________
My experience:
Before the August update, I ranked among the top 10 Experts. After the update, I'm stuck around #1,528. The update was described as helping “better surface creators based on their contributions,” so I dug into the rankings.
I manually audited the 150 Expert profiles ranked immediately above mine.
~75% had zero visible publishing activity since the new Community launched in mid-June
25% weren’t even accepting work
The Expert directory has been a very meaningful source of high-quality inbound work for me. Going from top-10 visibility to ~#1,528 overnight has a very real effect on my income, after heavily investing in ranking well on Framer and becoming a Pro Expert, rather than focusing on Contra or other platforms.
______________
Many of us have spent years investing in this ecosystem: earning Pro Expert status, publishing work, building Marketplace assets, contributing to Community, growing substantial Framer portfolios, referring clients to the platform, and actively accepting Framer work.
I'd also love it if, when major ranking changes are made, they were communicated to Experts in advance going forward. This is the second significant directory change this year without notice, and these systems directly affect our businesses.
I think we all understand and support the goal of surfacing valuable contributors more effectively. We just need the system to actually deliver on it, especially when the people being buried are among those who have invested most in growing the Framer ecosystem.
