ryzeoyt Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Hello,I have an active kalimba gig and one of the clients has left a 5 star review. My average response time is really good. The client I’m currently talking with says my gig was one of the first when he first found me and that was before the 5 star review. Now it’s literally one of the last. Every time I search for “kalimba” there’s gigs from people that play completely different instruments or do other jobs showing up before mine. They don’t even have “kalimba” in their tags or title and they come first. I do have the word “kalimba” in my title, description and tags. I would understand level 2 sellers being at the top but this is just ridiculous. What’s wrong?ryzeoyt“I will record a real kalimba melody and make a video of it”
looseink Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 You do know that Fiverr is not Google, right?Ranking here is a myth.Proof: It says this in the Fiverr ToS “Gig position is NOT permanent.”Keep working those keywords and you’ll appear in searches when Buyers use those keywords looking for a service.

I also said “I would understand if top sellers were on top” because of their hard work or whatever but this is not the case either. It just doesn’t make any sense for people that have nothing to do with the search word to show up before the ones that they’re entire gig is based on that word
maitasun Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Your gig does show up in search. There’s only one page of results, with 51 gigs showing when searching for “kalimba”, and your gig is the last one.

Problem is, it’s the facking last one while other not related gigs show higher up the page
enunciator Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 i know it shows up. Problem is, it’s the facking last one while other not related gigs show higher up the pageMy results show a couple of kalimba playing gigs and you are third from last.Don’t fret too much over search position. You’ve just started out and only have one review, so showing up on the prime spots is going to take some positive orders, time, and luck.it’s the facking last one while other not related gigs show higher up the pageThat would be a unique gig title.I will play the f*%$#!g kalimba if only you can see this f*%$#!g gig.

I already took a small step and made the package names a bit “unsual” and “unprofessional”. Some appreciate it, others find it immature

There’s one other guy who “will mix and master metal…” with no reviews either, again higher up the “kalimba” search. Maybe you’re right and ranking isn’t a thing here. Maybe fiverr doesn’t like me.I will now accept my fate as the last gig and move on.Thanks
