Hi Tanika,

 

I checked this for you, on your profile everything is working as designed. I did get different search results when I used ''Banner Designer'' in the search field. 

You can use some of the available filters to get more specific results that suit your project(screenshot below).

Or you can check results for ''Banner Designer'' in our Hiring Headquarters. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you will see more links for other freelancers skill-groups, and also some of more specific Banner Designers groups. I hope this helped. Let us know if you need any further assistance. Thank you.

Upwork has stated that freelance profiles are rotated (by what schedule or algorithm I couldn't say) on a regular basis so that everyone has a fair chance of their profile being viewed. I hope what you're experiencing is a glitch and not the norm. I've flagged your post so hopefully a mod will be along to help you out.

Hi Tanika, 


Could you please share the keywords that you used when you tried to search for freelancers? If you could also send me screen grabs of your search results through a private message, I will go ahead and look into this further.

Tanika,

 

I don't know what you're using for search terms, but try "graphic designer" and see if anything different comes up.  Some clients don't realize that most graphic designers offer a wide range of skills, including designing banners, both for print and web, as well as email banners, trade show banners, etc. The term "banner" covers a lot of ground. In other words, you don't need someone who only does banners. Hope this helps.

 

And I do hope a mod comes along to help you out.

I have a feeling I recognize the writing style of this client.

 

It is remarkably similar to a banner designer who posts about how unfair the rotation algorithm is frequently.
