Which profile visibility is recommended?

I want to know which profile visibility should we use or recommended.

If we use profile visibility to UpWork users only, will our profile recommend to UpWork clients who post jobs?
Will we receive job invitations?
Will our profile searchable for clients?

Thanks
Shahzad

The visibility settings in your profile allow you to decide where and when potential clients can view your Upwork profile.

The options are:

Public – Your profile will be visible to the entire Internet including clients, freelancers, and visitors. It’s also visible to search engines such as Google and Bing. Use this option if you want anyone with Internet access to be able to view your Upwork profile.
Only Upwork Users – Only logged-in Upwork members can find your profile and it’s hidden from search engines.
Private – Your profile will be excluded from the Upwork marketplace and search engines. This means clients won’t see you when they search for freelancers. People who are not logged into Upwork will not be able to access your profile via a direct link. People who are logged into Upwork and have access to your direct profile link will only be able to see your first name, last initial, title, photo, rate, city, and country.

Diana, you could have just pointed to the help article where you copied the text from?

Those aspects stay the exact same as if your profile was public.

You use whatever suits you.
