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.

Hi, I have submitted 3 projects for approval. Two of these are still pending for 9 days. As per I know according to your legitimate time duration for approval is 7 days. I have reach out to support via email but still not approved.
I am curious to know about it, the reason for delaying and its really frustrating.
Hope to hear back from you soon.
Thanking you,

I know this reply is old but does it still apply? I am Top Rated and my projects are in review since May 17th. Certainly more than 2 business days, I'll help you free of charge and count - it's 11 days. It is more than 2 business days, in case you can't tell. Given how support treats me recently, I suspect there is some kind of notice attached to my account that says "delay everything". Wouldn't be surprised, UW does hate freelancers.

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Respond Promptly to Inquiries: Timely responses to client inquiries demonstrate professionalism and eagerness to work. Quick responses can positively impact your ranking.

  10. Request Client Reviews: After completing a successful project, kindly ask your clients for reviews. Positive reviews can enhance your reputation and project ranking.

  11. Utilize Upwork Tests and Certifications: Take relevant skill tests and earn certifications offered by Upwork. These validate your expertise and can boost your credibility.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

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:

  1. Volume of Submissions: If there is a high volume of new project submissions, it might take longer for Upwork to review each one thoroughly.

  2. 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.

  3. Complex Projects: Projects that are more complex or have specific requirements might require more time to review and verify.

  4. Holiday Periods: During peak holiday periods or weekends, the review process might experience delays.

  5. 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.

The time it takes to get approval for a project catalog on Upwork can vary depending on a few factors.

First, you'll need to ensure that your project catalog meets all of Upwork's guidelines and requirements. This includes having a clear and detailed project description, relevant categories and tags, and high-quality images or videos.

Once you've created your project catalog, it will go through a review process by the Upwork team. This process typically takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the volume of catalogs being submitted and the complexity of your project.

During the review process, Upwork will check your project catalog for compliance with their guidelines and may ask for revisions or additional information if necessary. Once your project catalog has been approved, it will be visible to clients on the Upwork platform.

Overall, it's difficult to give an exact timeline for project catalog approval, but you can expect the process to take at least a few days and possibly up to a few weeks.
