The Poptop Levels system
The Poptop Levels system showcases how you can become a Super Supplier.
When you sign up to Poptop, you start as level 1. As you start to complete your profile, add your service listings, add a synced calendar and add a review you’ll see yourself rise through the levels.
As you move up the levels we’ll tell you exactly how to get to the next one, so you don’t have to worry. Your visibility increases in the search catalogue as you improve your level.
Visibility is seen as your catalogue ranking on our marketplace. To see how your listing ranks in our catalogue, take a look at your service listing stats.
