By the way, make sure to learn this article till end, because in the end, we are going to reveal the biggest myth about ranking on fiverr and how to avoid it. Of course, there are a lot of things that affect your ranking and of course, the number of reviews, the number of orders and the seller level that you have play a huge role in this.
Fiverr Gig Ranking 2022
This is for sure, not everything and in this article, we would like to share with you super important tips, which can help you a lot. Even if your gig doesn’t have any reviews at all. Let’s start with the title and tags of your gig.
Did you know that when you create or edit your gig, you not only have a regular title, but you can also press upgrade. It is a very important tip, because it will surely help you to make your gig rank on the first page.
The character limit for SEO title is just 50 characters. And if your gig title is longer than that, you have to remove some characters from the SEO title. But please make sure that moving the characters from gig title. You should not affect the similarities between SEO title.
Give title, tags and URL, preferably now, when someone will search any of the keyword presented in your title. URL, the chances of getting your gig on the first page will become very high.
The second thing you can do to optimize your gig ranking is to pick a very specific niche start small. It is very important when you are just a beginner. You see, if you choose to rank for a keyword which has very high competition. Your chance is very small, because there are so many people who are doing better than you at this stage. But if you choose a low competition keyword, your chance to rank high and get noticed by potential clients increases significantly.
Yes, your opportunities to grow will be much smaller, because not a lot of people search for this keyword, as opposed to a highly competitive one. But if you are just starting, your focus should be on getting this first orders and steady climb stream. After this is achieved, you will be ready to rank for a more competitive keyword.
Let’s take a look at my example: If we are a video editor and if we wanted to rank for a keyword video editing, we will end up with around 32000 competitors, right? If we are more specific and choose wedding video editing, for example, the number of our competitors is reduced by 13000, which makes it more realistic.
If we choose food video editing, we will only have 2000. In this case, if you manage to complete all the other stuff that we mentioned in this article, the chances of getting your gig on the first page will be as high as possible.
So now you see how important it is to find your niche and start small. However, you can benefit even more if you add something special to your offer. We call it your thing, just something that will make your gig and your offer unique and attractive to potential clients, something that will make you stand out from the crowd.
When coming up with this, you just need to think about what people are attractive to. First delivery and discounts are probably the most obvious things. People love it, we love it and although we know it works, we always fall for this special prices. Damn it! those extra packages of vegetables that just end up in my trash. 2 pieces for the price of 1. We hate this offer.
You can give your client a 50% discount on the first or the next order. You can make a 24 hours delivery. Side, the gigs price lower than the market price, or maybe a card with stamps who else is obsessed with them? Choose your thing, put it on the thumbnail of your gig big and fancy and you are good to go.
Now it’s time to talk about description. How should you approach it to rank your gig higher? Firstly, make sure you make your description as long as possible, but don’t write something just for the sake of line. Make it informative.
Make sure that in the description there are as many keywords you are trying to rank for as possible. The more related keywords are used, the more chances are there for your gig to get ranked. Moreover, you need to try to get full marks in each element. Which means the title description tags, image, Etc.
Because if a top-related gig has a short description. He might have got full marks in other elements. That’s why it’s ranked. There is a limit to using one specific word in the description though, for example: in our gig it didn’t allow us to save our description, because we use the word video too many times.
We were sitting there trying to figure out, how can we replace the word video if we talk about videos? So yeah, you would need to spend some time when your description. Go and further, there is one very big mistake that we would like to warn you about. This is the worst thing you can do for a gig, and it’s about copy-pasting. Don’t copy paste anything. Otherwise forgot the ranking.
You can make research, take a look at your competitors’ gigs and get the ideas. But copy paste isn’t about if your English, grammar and writing skills are not perfect, or you simply want to choose something that’s already working people, you can easily copy description titles and tag lines from the top-ranked gigs in your niche.
A couple of them combine the best parts and then make slight changes. This is not only allowed, but it will also be a very smart thing to do. But don’t ever copy paste anything from other gigs, otherwise you’ll get a strike, and your account could be banned. Nobody wants this, right. Another crucial but very simple thing is about being online all the time. But why should you really may be noticed that on fiverr, when looking at the gigs, you can see if the seller is actually online?
Now there is, this green little circle that appears near the profile picture. And moreover, in the search, you can ask fiverr to show you only the sellers who are currently online, and maybe it’s not most important thing for ranking higher, but it can definitely increase your chances of getting clicks and impressions, because some clients could search for only the sellers who are online.
It’s not that hard to make right. You can figure out the way to stay online. You can figure out the way to stay online 24/7 if you want, but I would recommend to simply have the app opened on your phone or the window with fiverr in your browser, right when you wake up, and don’t forget to constantly update a page throughout the day.
Now it’s time to talk about myths. Let us reveal probably the most common myth about ranking on fiverr and explain why you shouldn’t believe it. If you watched videos or read articles with any fiverr tips, you probably heard this your gig title, SEO title, tags, description and URL of the gig should have the same keywords. You place them, and you don’t change them after making your gig.
This is not true at all. This is the worst advice someone can give you. We have been changing all of these things in our gig a lot of times before finding what works for us. Otherwise, how do you really know what works for you and what doesn’t. In fact, our gig for YouTube videos editing even has a URL without YouTube keyword in it, as it says edit your social media video. It is simply because when we created this gig, we gave it this title. Then we decided to narrow down my niche and we changed it a lot of times.
