A Top 10 Row for Viewers With No Plan

Vodlix Top 10 content is a numbered ranking row for the viewer who opens your service without a plan. Most sessions begin with someone who does not know what to watch, and a numbered row answers that at a glance: these are the titles to start with. Any content list becomes a Top 10 by setting its Content List Type to Top 10, and the home page draws it with large rank numbers beside each title on web and mobile. Because a ranked list reads as a recommendation from everyone else, it earns a click faster than a plain shelf of posters.

Choose Your Top 10 by Finishes, Not Views

A view count mostly measures how well you promoted a title; a finish measures whether it delivered for the people who pressed play. In Vodlix Insights, the Top content report lists every title with its views, watch time, finishes and average completion rate, and you can sort it by finishes. That shows which titles viewers actually complete, often not the ones with the most views, so the titles you rank in the row are the ones most likely to satisfy the next viewer too.

Dynamic Curation Keeps the Row Fresh

A Top 10 list can be curated by hand or dynamically. With Manual curation you choose exactly which titles appear. With Dynamic curation you set a rule instead: fill the row from a category or from tags, and sort it by the default order or by last updated, where a series counts from its most recent episode. New and updated titles then move into the row without anyone editing it, so returning viewers find something new. If you want to take over, Convert to Manual turns the current selection into a hand-curated list.


View funnel report showing how many viewers go from view to start, playback and finish

Views, Starts and Finishes in Insights

Vodlix Insights shows what happens after a viewer sees a title. The View funnel follows sessions from view to start to playback to finish, so you can see where viewers drop off before the end. The Content lists report gives each row on your home page its own impressions, clicks, views and click-through rate, which tells you whether the Top 10 row is earning its place. Together with Top content and Completion rate, it turns the row into both a viewer feature and a window into catalogue performance.


Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about taking advantage of this limited-time offer? Check out the FAQ for answers.

Can the Vodlix Top 10 row update itself?
Yes, with Dynamic curation. You set a rule, a category or tags plus a sort order such as last updated, and the row refills itself as titles are added or updated. With Manual curation the row shows exactly the titles you choose.
What should a Top 10 row rank by?
Finishes are a better signal than views. Views mostly reflect your own promotion, while finishes show what viewers were glad they watched. The Vodlix Insights Top content report sorts titles by finishes and completion rate, so you can rank the row by what viewers actually complete.
How do I add a Top 10 row on Vodlix?
Create a content list in the Home Page group, or edit an existing one, and set its Content List Type to Top 10. Then choose Manual curation to pick the titles yourself or Dynamic curation to fill the row from a category or tags. The home page draws it as a numbered row.
Where can I see the numbers behind the Top 10?
In Vodlix Insights. Top content lists views, watch time, finishes and completion rate per title; Content lists gives each home page row its impressions, clicks, views and click-through rate; and the View funnel shows how many viewers go from view to start to finish.
Why use a numbered Top 10 row at all?
A numbered Top 10 is understood instantly by viewers who open a service without a plan. Rank numbers read as a recommendation from the rest of the audience, which earns a click faster than an unnumbered shelf of posters.
What if the top title is behind a paywall?
That is either a conversion opportunity or an irritation depending on how it is handled. Showing which package includes it turns the moment into something useful rather than into a viewer discovering they cannot watch the thing you just recommended.
Does it need to be exactly ten?
No, though ten is the convention and conventions carry meaning. What matters more is that the row is numbered, because a row of ten titles is a shelf and the same ten numbered is a statement about your service.
Can I override the ranking?
Yes. Convert to Manual turns a dynamic Top 10 into a hand-curated list, and a manual list shows exactly the titles you choose. Keep promotional picks in separate editorial rows, though: a Top 10 only works while viewers believe it reflects what people really watch.
