How the Site Score™ Works
Using a unique technology developed over three years (technology developed by getleap.io), the list ranks the art industry key players based on a benchmarking score from 0 to 100, which reflects metrics from the following three primary areas:
- Web Traffic - For each website, the algorithm analyses all keywords and estimated organic traffic based on their rank.
- Social Media - For each gallery and fair, the algorithm monitors followers, engagement, and post consistency of the top-performing social media platform between Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
- Backlinks - For each website, the algorithm tracks backlinks and measures the domain authority of each linking site.
The Online Top 100 is the result of third-party data processing, which makes it an entirely objective, impartial, and trustworthy tool in the industry.
Each month, Artland will spotlight the notable changes in the composition of the gallery and fair list, highlighting the top performers, the new entries, the trending, the biggest rise and fall, the returnees, and much more.
