Configuring WooRanker for effective clearance sales requires strategic settings adjustments to prioritize older inventory while maintaining profitability. Here’s how to optimize your product ranking for clearance events:

• Create a specific tag like “Clearance” or “Sale” for all clearance products and increase the tag factor weight to 30-40%
• Adjust stock level weighting to prioritize products with higher inventory levels that need clearing (increase stock weight to 25-30%)
• For Pro users, create a custom field for “Days in Inventory” with your developer and give higher scores to this custom meta field – products that have been in stock longer
• Consider reducing the weight of the sales factor temporarily during clearance events to give less popular items more visibility
• Use the discount percentage slider to give priority to items with steeper discounts – increase this weight to make heavily discounted items appear higher in results
• Create a dedicated “Clearance” category and increase its weight during sale periods
• Combine inventory age and current stock levels in your formula to target slow-moving items with significant remaining inventory
• Test your clearance configuration with the preview feature before implementing
