Hi Ak,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Allow me to explain how  Project Catalog works. Firstly, we review all project listings, including consultations, before publishing them on Project Catalog to help ensure a quality platform that helps you attract quality clients, and we promote Project Catalog on client pages.

 

Once your project listing is published, the project will display on your Upwork profile. You can also share the project’s URL in your profile’s description and on your social media accounts for even more visibility. Your project’s overview consists of its title, category, project attributes, and search tags. The information you include here is your first impression to prospective clients, so you’ll want it to shine. Feel free to check this help article for more details. Please allow up to five business days for your project to be reviewed.

 

 

NOTICE:

 

Project Catalog submissions by Top Rated, Top Rated Plus, and Expert Vetted Talent are typically reviewed within 2 business days. If you do not have one of these badges, please note that our current review process is experiencing an extensive delay due to internal efforts to enhance our efficiency and accuracy.

 

Update:

 

Hi all,

Hi Shafwat,

 

I've checked your account and I can see that you submitted your project for approval last 18- February. Please note that when you create a project we will first review it before making it visible to clients. Our review includes making sure your project is complete, looks professional, and doesn’t violate our Terms of Service. Please allow up to five business days for your project to be reviewed. 

 

However, we are currently receiving more projects for review than usual. Please allow us longer than usual to review your project. To learn more about the Project Catalog, click here

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request an update on the status of my project. It has been 5 days since I last received an update, and I am eager to know if there has been any progress or if there are any issues that need to be addressed.

 

As you are aware, this project is important to me, and I would appreciate it if you could provide me with an update as soon as possible. I understand that you may have other projects and responsibilities, but timely communication is essential to ensure the success of our collaboration. If there are any issues or delays, please let me know. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

Best regards,

It often takes longer to review projects. But after review, they are either approved or provide a clear reason why they were rejected. Be patient.
