Here's the thing: if you edit your gigs, make sure the edits you do are well-planned and positive for your gig. I edit my gigs often, but only if I see something that can be improved. I think far too many sellers try to constantly edit their gigs, but because they don't know how to make the gig better, the edits end up hurting them.
Making your gigs become better can never be a bad thing.
For example, you can hire a professional video editor to make an awesome gig video. Add a professional voice-over to it, explaining your value proposition (why buyers should pick you over others).
For your web design gig, I noticed you have a lot of text in your thumbnail. That will make it difficult to read on mobile and makes it look messy. Less is more.
Same goes for your social media gig.
You're a designer, so put all of your best design skills to good use. Having professional, clean and great-looking thumbnails can really help.
Improve your gig descriptions by using a native US or UK proofreader. Having a top-notch gig description will help you land more sales.
The whole point is to improve your gig. If you do it, it won't be catastrophic at all. But if you just make random edits for the sake of editing, it won't help you.
Thank you so much.
Here is the last question, which one is more advisable; pausing the gig before editing or just editing it straight up?

I'm pretty sure the algorithm picks out a certain number of sellers from each level based on relevancy, price, buyer satisfaction rate, etc. This is just a theory based on the fact that so many sellers notice a dip in business after getting promoted. Perhaps they even have higher demands when picking out level 1 than a new seller, meaning that page 1 results can be more challenging.
I'd say the best solution to this is to make sure you impress your buyers. Get that buyer satisfaction rate rising. Perhaps increase your rates a bit now that you're no longer a new seller. Consider updating and upgrading thumbnails and descriptions and profile pictures. Make sure your gigs are not just worthy of that level one badge: this is the time to exceed expectations by over-delivering, showing off your best work, making your gigs shine, and perhaps even launching new gigs.
Research your competition, find out what the TRS gang is up to in your niche, and use all of it for inspiration on how to improve your own gig.
Hope this helps! 🙂Thanks so much, in short you're advising tomorrow edit may gig. I learnt that can be catastrophic.

So, yesterday I was given the Level 1 seller badge. And it also happens to be the day when I couldn't find my gig on top searches. For some keywords, I couldn't find it at all and for some it was deranked to like, say, page 3 or 4. When on a normal day it will be on page 1.
I've noticed this about some level sellers. There accounts get deranked after getting the badge. I really need to hear your views on this.

You receive the badge if the algorithm thinks that you deliver excellent value to buyers.
This is determined based on a number of factors, the biggest being your buyer satisfaction rate and overall gig quality.
Fiverr asks buyers to rate you based on the value they think your gig had. So if you receive excellent private feedback from your buyers, that will help towards getting this badge.
I have a theory that if you deliver a Fiverr's Choice order and you get great private feedback, this will increase your chance even more of getting it again.
When it comes to returning buyers in the reviews, I have tons of returning buyers (60-70% of my business is returning buyers) and only a few of them leaves a review every time. When you order from someone 10 times in a month, you don't take the time to answer surveys and reviews every single time.
Thanks. This is was helpful.

What exactly qualifies sellers for "Fiverr's Choice" badge?
So many times I have read it that getting returning buyers is key. Sometimes, I would go through gigs for sellers with the badge but not a single returning buyer will be on the review page, or maybe they didn't drop their reviews.
Anyone who can help clear the air?

That just tells you to work more on your account, you should edit where necessary. Write offers to buyer's requests and can also refer people to your gigs via social media.
I believe all these have been repeated over time on this forum.

Thanks for this. I will always remember the part that says "focus on good services".

Okay.
From the 20 clicks, did you get any direct contact?

Are there truly specific time for buyer's requests? I simply check every time I am available.

Well even though impressions can be an indication of one's gig ranking high, it is not really something to be excited about.
Even you checking out your gig is an impression for you.
What matters is the clicks and conversion, I don't normally use impressions as yardstick for a quality gig.

Basically, any alteration on gigs affects the ranking. Just leave it as it were.

Which one helps gigs rank more; is it the gig title or the 5 required tags?
Also, how does the description help?
