Help Your Premium Members Stand Out in Search Results

When visitors search your website, every member result usually looks the same. Highlight Member Results lets you give the members on your chosen membership plans an extra perk: a colored border around their search result and a sash with a short label, like “Featured” or “Top Rated.” It’s a visible benefit you can include with your upgraded plans, or offer as its own premium spot.

You set it up on each membership plan, so members on different plans can have different highlights — for example, a blue “Top Rated” sash for one plan, a gold “Featured” label for another, and no highlight for your free members. A live preview shows exactly how the result will look before you save.

Key Features & Benefits

• Give the members on your premium plans a highlighted search result as an extra benefit of upgrading
• Choose the label text, such as “Featured,” “Top Rated” or “Sponsored,” plus its text color and font size
• Pick the border color, width and rounded or square corners to match your website — set the width to 0 for a sash with no border
• Show the label across the corner of the member’s photo or above it
• Use a different highlight for each membership plan, or turn it on only for the plans you choose
• Keep your search order as it is: highlights respect the search priority you’ve set for each plan
• Highlights adjust to phones and also work with the Grid View Search Results add-on

How It Works

• Open a membership plan. Go to Finance » Membership Plans, click Edit on the plan whose members you want to highlight, and open the Search Visibility tab.
• Turn on the highlight. Scroll down to Highlight Member Profiles, turn on Enable Search Results Highlight, then choose your colors, border, label text, font size and text position while the preview updates on the right.
• Save your changes. Members on that plan now appear highlighted in your website’s member search results. Repeat for any other plan that should get its own look.

Is This Add-On Right for You?

It’s a great fit if you answer “yes” to any of these questions:

• Do you offer paid or upgraded membership plans and want to give those members a visible extra benefit?
• Would you like members on different plans to look different in your search results?
• Would you like to offer a sponsored or premium placement that members can buy to stand out?

Tips for Using Highlights

• Match the label to its purpose. Use words that explain why the member is highlighted, like “Featured” or “Top Rated.”
• Using a longer label? Make the font size a little smaller so the words fit neatly on the sash.
• Create a sponsored plan. Set up a separate membership plan for members who want extra visibility, and give it a highlight so their results stand out from the rest.
