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.

I am new at Upwork. I have submitted two projects to Upwork, three days have passed but my projects are still in under-review. Could anyone tell me how much time they required to approve the project? 

I can't find job and apply on specified jobs due to this issue. Please help me.

Getting this working on my projects screen:
The approval process for consultations and projects is taking longer than usual. We'll email you as soon as your review is complete. Thank you for your patience.

Can someone tell me why this is so and how long it will take?
It's been more than 12 days since I submitted the project but still not approved.

Please help! I am looking for more information on the expected approval time. I now have 3 clients waiting on these projects. This delay is killing my business. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. As a paid member and top-rated freelancer, I hoped for a faster resolution to this issue.

Hi, Can creating more project catalogues speed up the progress on Upwork?

Creating a more extensive project catalog could potentially help in getting more visibility on Upwork, as it showcases a broader range of your services to potential clients. However, simply having more offerings in your catalog doesn't guarantee faster progress. It depends on the quality of your services, how well they're presented, and whether they align with what clients are looking for.

Hi Upwork Team & Community,

I'm writing to follow up on my Project Catalog submission from May 4th, 2024. It's been over two weeks, and I haven't received any updates on its approval status.

 

I understand the review process takes time, but I'd appreciate any insights you can offer on the current timeline.

 

In the meantime, if anyone in the Upwork community has experience with extended Project Catalog review periods or knows of any solutions, I'd be grateful for your advice.

It generally not take time but sometime it happens maybe due to low connections. Some time system take time to avoid spam and provide clients good results. Wait for few days it will get approved. Hope this will help you.

I have few projects in “pending approval” or in review. And one is from April 27. In sum, it has at least 21 days of “review” and 15 days of business days. Upwork: “This review can take up to 5 days.”
