Market, language and currency eligibility

Whether the country you ship to, the language you sell in and the currency you price in fall inside what each engine currently serves, because a product outside that box is not ranked badly, it is not eligible at all.

Per-platform status

Where a platform documents relevant behavior, its status and source are shown. Undocumented platforms show "unknown" - honest unknowns, never invented.

Evidence and sources

This signal is typed spec-fact (Very high confidence).

How to act on this

Check the market box before you debug anything else. Confirm the countries your feed declares, the language your listings are written in and the currency you price in against what each engine says it serves today, and write the date beside the answer, because these boundaries move.

Notes

This is the cheapest signal to check and the one most likely to explain a total absence rather than a poor placing. Two engines document a hard market gate independently, and neither frames it as a ranking factor, because it is not one. A merchant outside the served market can do everything else on this site perfectly and still never appear.
