After editing my Fiverr gig, day by day, the rank is going down. How can I resolve it?

[bismaa_8]

Hi y'all, I'm level 1 seller and I edited my gig few days ago but the ranking is going down day by day. What should I do to rank it again? And how much time is required to rank my gig after editing? 

Any tips will be appreciated. Thank you

share social media with gig related peoples and don't edit any more.

Does pausing the gig actually helps to rank it again?

Hi everyone, 

So my gig isn't working well rn. I only get impressions upto 15 or 20. I used to get 1000 impressions daily on this gig. While browsing videos on youtube that how can I rank my gig again, I came through a video and the person was giving tips about that. One of his tip basically was to just pause your gig for a week or 2. And another person said to go offline for a week or 2. I wanted to ask all of you that does this really works? Or these are just lies? 

My Question 2:

How can I get briefs on fiverr?

i have been working on fiverr for 2 years now, niche is photo editing and since the brief update, I haven't got any single brief. I'm level 1 seller and even after changing the prices of my brief, the results are same. So any tips for this one as well?

Don't trust YouTube gurus. Some stuff might be true, but in general they just share random things and tips to gain views. So I wouldn't trust them.

Generally, if you pause gigs, they will derank. Now with the success score system which takes competitor activity into account too, I don't see a world where pausing will help ranking in any way. Change your gig, experiment with various images, descriptions, keywords, etc.

First of all Thank you very much for taking your time to reply. And Yes you are absolutely right that's Why I wanted to take some suggestions from the fellows here. And I changed my gig pretty much in past 3 months. Is it truly fine to edit your gig that much?

It's never recommended to make many changes at once. Whenever you make any change, it's recommended to wait 3-4 weeks as it takes Fiverr some time to go through your edits and update the algorithm.

Also the question is, how did your gig impressions drop? Have you conducted any self-analysis on your profile, orders, and interactions with clients to see where things went wrong?

There could be three reasons for your dropped impressions:

1. Did the impressions drop after you edited your gig? If yes, consider reverting the changes to the old ones.

2. If your impressions dropped overnight (without you touching the edit button), then there's a high chance it's due to a negative private review from a buyer. Scroll through your order chats again (to the time when your impressions dropped) and analyze if you faced any conflicts with any client or if there was any dissatisfaction in chats from the buyer. This won't restore your ranking but will help you improve yourself in future orders.

3. Since you're a seller with just 39 reviews, there's a possibility that you were on a 'temporary boost' from Fiverr as it wanted to give you an opportunity to get some sales. Now that boost may have ended, and you're back to normal impressions. And, since you're selling very generic gigs (like removing background and fixing images), you may not be getting many impressions because the market is flooded with such gigs. Also, not to mention that after the AI tools, there are fewer buyers demanding these gigs.

just try editing with better description, pricing, image, video, title. Hope it will help you.

Thank you very much for such detailed information. Yes my gigs suddenly got a boost on 29 August and I have been getting orders like daily. And completed 50 orders right now but yes the reviews are just 36 on my main gig. My gig impressions dropped overnight since the new update. Also my success score is 8 right now.

2- I think the main reason could be my conflict free orders as it is showing room for growth. I contacted CS and they said my gig dropped bcz a client requested for a revision on one of my order. So basically this could be the main reason for my impressions drop. 

3- even tho the gigs are very basic and there is also AI tools right there but the sellers prefer to use professionals for more accurate results, the AI tools are not much helpful tbh.

4- It was a dumb move to edit my gig I know but have you ever experienced situation like this before ? If yes then do you have any idea what should I do now? Just wait for the algorithm to boost my gig again?
