Dreaming of becoming a Top Rated freelancer on Fiverr? You’re in the right place! Today, we’re diving into what it takes to achieve that prized status and unlock exclusive benefits that can elevate your freelance career.
What is Top Rated?
Top Rated indicates the freelancer level awarded to top-performing freelancers who consistently deliver high-quality work and provide exceptional experiences for their buyers. Along with receiving the highly coveted badge, Top Rated Sellers also enjoy additional benefits such as Early Payouts, higher gig allotments, and more.
What it takes
To be considered for Top Rated status, you must reach the following criteria:
While meeting these base criteria is mandatory for consideration, unlike Level 1 and Level 2, promotion to Top Rated is not automatic. In order to become a Top Rated seller on Fiverr, you must pass a holistic review performed by our evaluation team. Some subcategories may also require additional skills tests before consideration.
Another thing to note is that the team only focuses on services that fall within high-demand categories. If your service is not listed, you will not be eligible for promotion to Top Rated at this time. Don’t worry, though—the list changes based on market demand, so there’s hope that your subcategory may become eligible in the future.
The evaluation process
To ensure our vetting process is thorough, the wait time can range from 45 to 90 days, depending on your subcategory. Seller Plus premium members can enjoy the benefits of priority vetting, which means they get pushed to the front of the queue once they become eligible for consideration. Even so, members of the program can still expect to wait a considerable amount of time while our team reviews their profile. For a complete list of eligible categories and wait times, visit here. During the evaluation process, the team is paying attention to four main points:
- Professional Skills- Your proficiency and the quality of deliveries in relation to the scope of services provided.
- Communication and Service- Your overall responsiveness and your ability to set clear expectations and provide a smooth and seamless client experience.
- Professional Presence- The structure of your Gigs and profile, as well as the use of features like an intro video to connect with prospective clients and a portfolio to showcase skills and experience.
- Compliance with Fiverr's Policies- Verification that your account activity complies with our Terms of Service and Community Standards.
