OLD (August 2024)

Remember when consulting used to be in fourth place in talent search results? Back then, I told you to create all three consultancy offerings. Moreover, I advised you to enable the "Online for Consulting NOW" Beta feature.

But why did I ask you to do that earlier? Consultancies were ranked higher and only those available were shown at the top

In the talent search list, there was a section for people offering consulting, and it used to be in the fourth spot.

NOW (September 2024)

Now, Projects from the Project Catalog have replaced it. Let's take a look:

1st place - boosted - paid one

2nd place - organic

3rd - again paid

4th = projects FOR FREE

So how to be there? Easy-peasy!

Let's take a closer look

See?

Or Another example - React native talent search.

Still don't understand?

Let me help!

14 results with the same thing. Good job.


Summary:

  • Choose the request you want.
  • Create a NORMAL Project Catalog.
  • Get it approved.
  • Make changes, swapping out the repeated word from your request.
    Done.

Damn! This article looks long, but it's just one change among many. I'll write more soon.
