SEO Fix = Instant Views? Can Someone Explain Zazzle’s Algorithm?

Hey everyone!

I recently launched a new store focused on products inspired by my home country — Ancient Egypt :egypt::heart_eyes:

I’ve uploaded 184 products in the last 6 days, based on a kind recommendation from someone here in the forum (everyone here is so helpful and supportive :heart:).

At first, around 90% of my products had zero views. But I went back and improved the SEO for just the first 10 listings, and when I checked the next day — they all had views! One even got 16 views in a single day, which really surprised me :thinking:

So now I’m wondering — can anyone help me understand how the Zazzle algorithm works?

What kind of changes or actions actually trigger more visibility or exposure?

Is it just SEO, or are there other factors like freshness, store activity, engagement, etc.?

Would really appreciate any insight!

New items generally don’t get views that quickly unfortunately (unless are put in a collection with popular items that are selling). Zazzle currently has a glitch that is giving brand new items ‘views’ - usually about 8-15 it seems.  There is another thread in the ‘technical issues’ about it.  And just a heads up that your own views will also count as a view.

Also, when you post a question on this forum, a lot of views come from folks responding to your question in an attempt to look at your store and products to help you determine and hopefully solve the issues you described. Those aren’t actually customer views….
