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:
We are currently receiving more projects for review than usual. Please allow us longer than usual to review your project.

I uploaded several projects in my catalog log for verification, however, since then I've not received any update on the projects uploaded.
This is having an adverse effects on my profile and general Upwork JSS since I'm not able to link/sell/receive invites.
Please make an update

Hi sir plese did you see this project .plese telme this problel.
Sorry, you cannot purchase projects in Project Catalog using this account.
how can i do this problem solved?
Sep 2, 2023 01:14:17 PM by Luiggi R
Hi MD Habibur,
It's normal for you to get that error since you can't purchase projects using a freelancer profile, nor can you purchase your own projects. Clients should be able to see your projects and purchase them if they choose to do so.

Ranking your project on Upwork's project catalog involves a combination of strategies to improve visibility and attract potential clients. Here's a solution-focused approach to help you achieve better project ranking:
Optimize Project Title and Description: Craft a clear and concise project title that accurately reflects your service. Your project description should be detailed, outlining the scope, skills required, and any specific requirements. Use relevant keywords to enhance discoverability.
Choose the Right Category and Subcategory: Select the most appropriate category and subcategory for your project. This ensures that your project is displayed to the right audience.
Use Relevant Tags and Keywords: Incorporate relevant keywords and tags that potential clients might use to search for your type of project. These keywords should naturally fit within your project details.
Complete Your Profile: A complete and well-rounded freelancer profile can positively influence your project's ranking. Include a professional photo, comprehensive skills list, and a compelling bio.
Maintain a High Job Success Score: Successfully complete projects, deliver quality work, and earn positive feedback. A high Job Success Score boosts your credibility and ranking.
Price Your Services Competitively: Set your project pricing based on the market rates and the value you offer. Being too expensive or too cheap could affect your project's appeal.
Include Relevant Portfolio Items: Showcase your previous work that is relevant to the project you're offering. This helps potential clients assess your skills and expertise.
Regularly Update Your Availability: Update your availability status to show that you're actively looking for new projects. This can improve your visibility in Upwork's search results.
Respond Promptly to Inquiries: Timely responses to client inquiries demonstrate professionalism and eagerness to work. Quick responses can positively impact your ranking.
Request Client Reviews: After completing a successful project, kindly ask your clients for reviews. Positive reviews can enhance your reputation and project ranking.
Utilize Upwork Tests and Certifications: Take relevant skill tests and earn certifications offered by Upwork. These validate your expertise and can boost your credibility.
Use the "Promote My Project" Feature: Upwork offers a paid feature to promote your project to a wider audience. Consider using it to increase visibility.
Stay Active and Engage: Participate in Upwork's community forums, contribute valuable insights, and engage with other freelancers and clients. Being active on the platform can positively impact your overall presence.
Remember, improving your project's ranking takes time and consistent effort. By implementing these strategies and delivering high-quality work, you'll increase your chances of attracting clients and achieving better visibility on Upwork's project catalog.

Hello, I'm Hamza Pervaiz. I have created my projects before 10 days and upwork take 5 bussiness days to approve it but thay are still underreview. Kindly tell me how much it take time to approve it and why it is still under review.

Hi Hamza,
Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear about the delay in reviewing your Project Catalog. Currently, we are receiving a high volume of Project submissions. Our team will review and update your project as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Pradeep

Several factors can contribute to the extended review time:
Volume of Submissions: If there is a high volume of new project submissions, it might take longer for Upwork to review each one thoroughly.
Manual Review: Some projects might undergo a manual review process to ensure they comply with Upwork's policies and guidelines. This can add extra time to the approval process.
Complex Projects: Projects that are more complex or have specific requirements might require more time to review and verify.
Holiday Periods: During peak holiday periods or weekends, the review process might experience delays.
Verification Checks: Upwork may perform additional checks to verify your account information, payment methods, and project details.
To get more clarity on the status of your project approval and the reasons for any delays, I recommend reaching out to Upwork's customer support. They can provide you with more specific information about the review process for your projects and any potential issues that might be causing the delay.
You can contact Upwork's customer support through their website or by sending them a direct message. Remember, their support team is there to assist you and provide you with the information you need to get your projects approved as soon as possible.
