Profile views have always been zero

[claudian90]

Hi everyone! I am new to the Upwork platform and so far I have applied for 1 job only; I can see from my stats that my profile completeness is 100% however it didn't have any view since I joined. How can this be possible? I would think that my profile was viewed at least by the client I applied the job for...

Am I doing something wrong?

Appreciate any help and apologies if this topic was already covered. Thanks! C.

Hi Claudia, welcome to Upwork!

I apologize for the late response. Please note that the profile view count reflects the number of times your profile was discovered in search. If a client views your profile from a proposal it won't be counted in the metric.

Seeing you're new to the platform, I'd strongly recommend reviewing info and advice we compiled here. Let us know if you have further questions and good luck!

Thanks Vladimir, really appreciated. I will check your link and hopefully I will start getting some business!

NB: do views from other freelancers within Upwork count? I have just seen I got 5 views in the same week I posted this question here...

Thank you! C.
