Does frequent editing of a gig have any negative outcome?

ahinsa_writer · March 12, 2021

Hi everyone, I am just thinking of making some changes in my gig, Before that I need to know whether it will give any negative impact? Please help me.

From my experience…
You can change the gig title, Pricing and the pricing too I guess I did it quite a bit but not the images and related keywords…(It didn’t effect my ranking…)
If it is necessary give it a try but You can be on the safe side…

Thanks. I think I should think twice whether the changes are really needed.

If you edit the gig at first the gig won’t show at any page for 24 hours.

I would suggest you to only edit you gig if you are not getting enough impressions. If you are getting say 100 impression and clicks are also good like say 10 and you are not getting even 1 new client message then something is wrong in your description, Images or you can see people are not getting satisfied with the work you are showing on your gig.

So you need to act accordingly as per what you gig performance is

I think it certain changes need to be approved first so it can slow things down a little. I’ve never experienced a huge impact on my gig after editing. Sometimes it’s really necessary to change and add things to the description, FAQ’s and pricing. I usually wait until the weekend to make changes because it’s often quieter then anyway.

vickiespencer · March 12, 2021

Depending on what you change about your gig it can take up to 48 hours to appear in the search again. When I merely change delivery time, prices or gig image my gig seems to come back quickly. If I alter the description or FAQs then it takes longer.

tazdidshahriar · March 12, 2021

please don’t do this after publishing your gig. Otherwise you will have to loose your gig rank that is very bad in your fiverr journey.

psykkopatte · March 12, 2021

It has some impact about gig impression if you do too much edit.
There is also something to know, once you set a gig title, never change it again, because when you change title, it doesn’t apply your new title to the gig URL and might affect research, so to look to change a title, it is better to delete and recreate a gig.

looseink · March 12, 2021

I change my Gigs frequently.

I also delete the slow ones and replace them with new ones.

Yes, when I do that impressions/clicks drop as my changes go through the Fiverr approval process but within days they go back to normal.

ahinsa_writer · March 12, 2021

Thanks all the experienced fiverr friends, your replies were really helpful. Now I can understand the possibile effects of editing a gig.

wdshahdat_20 · March 12, 2021

Hi,
My suggestion is don’t edit gig. Can you edit in three days otherwise after once a week can delete make changes then newly published will no impact. thanks! :thinking:

graphizine0 · March 12, 2021

It has some impact about gig impression if you edit my suggestion is dont edit

No. N.O. Not at all.

Some things will cause a Gig to be unavailable whilst being checked but overall Gig Rank is not a static thing. Rank relates only to to the Search Terms input by a buyer. If you sell “Red Widgets” and that is exactly what a buyer searches with, you should rank well. If buyers are searching for “Green Piranha” you should not be anywhere in these results.

This is one of my gigs after removing the Video (and maybe some other tweaks):

As you see, a momentary lull then Bam!

I’m back. Back in a New York Groove,

Oops sorry KISS Song.

Try to avoid editing every day but a Gig economy is all about finding a Strategy that works and evolving it. This is why Gigs can be edited.

The more frequent you do it the lesser it get closer to buyers eye in my experience I did that mistake in 2018 and I learnt the lesson in doing so you are changing major changes in your gig so in web developing that’s lot of stuff you know if you change something on your gig means Fiverr has to change html,css,java script and many more because of that your gig suddenly disappear because FIverr is making changes from behind back

gongor32 · March 13, 2021

when I change something on my gig I’m unsearchable for a at least half day. So if you want to change something do it in one go.

Thank you all. Your replies are well describing pros and cons of gig editing.

That’s not really true. You can edit it, they just take it out of search for a day or two, tops. I didn’t lose any rank after editing one my best selling gigs. If you change the gig title, that’s a problem. Changing images does nothing, as far as my experience goes.

Many years since I was here,

On the street I was passin’ my time away

To the left and to the right,

Buildings towering to the sky

It’s outta sight in the dead of night

❤️Ace Freyley.

(Kiss, the first band who make me want to make music)

KISS, the first band to make me want to wear makeup.

Or maybe that was Duran Duran, only I didn’t realize it then.

“Shandi” is still my mostest favest of KISS songs. Even tho saying that makes most people pull faces.

Oddly I don’t own any KISS. None of the best of have everything I want. And honestly, they have their moments. Still, they did it better than just about anyone else as few bands have achieved what KISS have (and deserve).

For a few hours whilst it is checked. The way you say it, the Gig is kaput.

Such poor advice discourages people from doing what they must. I am assuming you did not read the whole conversation (shame as that is good form) as posted my own stats above showing several gig changes. The last one removes the video and look at me go…
