I've since found the context, and my examples are wrong, though my answer still stands. The text is about the algorithms used by Google and other search engines to position results:

'50 fois +, c'est la chance qu'à une page contenant une vidéo d'apparaître en première page de Google. Les algorithmes de positionnement aiment la vidéo. (étude Forrester Research)

You could also say "indexing algorithms" if you wanted to avoid ambiguity, though I think it's pretty obvious from the context what "positioning" means.

Explanation:
Hello

If it really is for Google etc, I'd use this instead as 'positioning algorithms' seems to be more for GPS and positioning 2 or 3D coordinates for engineering, graphics etc.
