Why this can grow a startup

A directory page gets more believable when the first examples are the ones people actually keep using. Sorting by popularity and engagement moves stronger workflows upward, lowers the chance that a visitor lands on a stale or edge-case example first, and lets proof shape the page before copy does.

Company example

Zapier says its directory pages loosely order published Zap templates by popularity and that its current sorting system prioritizes templates based on popularity and user engagement.
