Hi Perry,
While your job completion rating, Expert Vetted program status, and 5-star ratings are all important factors, the algorithm may also consider your recent activity, response time, and other factors that are not immediately visible. Additionally, Upwork is constantly updating and improving its search algorithm, which could lead to changes in rankings over time.
Here are a few suggestions to potentially improve your ranking:
Make sure your profile is complete, up-to-date, and showcases your skills effectively. Add new projects, update your portfolio, and make sure your profile is polished. Regularly engage with the platform by submitting proposals, completing jobs, and maintaining a healthy response rate to new invitations. Encourage clients to leave feedback after you've completed a job for them, as this can help improve your reputation on the platform. Make sure you're targeting a specific niche in videography, and tailor your profile to attract clients in that area. This can help you stand out from the competition. Use relevant keywords in your profile title, overview, and skills section to ensure your profile appears in relevant search results.
Keep in mind that fluctuations in rankings are normal on platforms like Upwork. If you consistently deliver high-quality work and maintain a strong profile, you should see improvements over time. You can also reach out to Upwork's support team to inquire about your ranking and ask for any specific advice they may have.
