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 Felipe,

 

I'm sorry that we haven't been able to review your project yet. While it can typically take up to 5 business days for a project to be reviewed, we are currently receiving more submissions than usual. Please allow us a little longer to review your project; you can rest assured that you'll be hearing back from the team on that. I appreciate your patience!

I created a couple of consultations for my profile in the beginning of May and to date they still are pending approval. Is there a reason this takes so long? This is potential income I am losing due to inability to approve in a reasonable timeframe.

Does anyone from support even read these posts? I have posted about this twice and am getting no reply.

I have 2 projects that are awaiting approval. These were submitted on May 9, 2024. As a top-rated freelancer, all Upwork documentation and the incredibly unhelpful chatbot say that the projects should be approved within 2 days. Clearly, I have been waiting much longer than that. 

 

My livelihood is based on freelance work through Upwork. My niche is creating specialty projects unique to my clients and their digital marketing needs. I bring them to Upwork as opposed to other freelance methods. The delay in these project approvals has left me without work and is annoying/angering my clients. I may lose them both due to this delay. 

 

I would love to speak to someone at Upwork about this issue and to get a straight answer as to when I can expect to have these projects approved. I would hate to have to leave Upwork and start my own business without utilizing Upwork. That said, if this can't get resolved soon I am going to need to do that.

 

TLDR: I totally feel your pain. Upwork needs better support.

Hi Md Abdur,

 

Welcome to Upwork! We're thrilled to welcome you aboard. I've reviewed the Project Catalog you mentioned, and it was submitted on May 23rd.

 

Usually, project catalog reviews take up to five business days. However, we're currently experiencing delays in reviewing Consultations and Catalog projects. You'll receive an email notification once the review is complete. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. In the meantime, feel free to create a Specialized profile.

I hope this message finds you well.

I submitted a project on May 18th and another on May 24th. Both submissions are still pending approval and under review, with no updates or rejections received. Could you please check their status and provide guidance on the next steps?

Thank you for your cooperation.

You can boost the project with connects. I tried with it but I didn't get the results I needed. 

 

You can also share it on my social media to drive traffic to your project
