Help! low impressions on Fiverr

Need help improving my Fiverr presence. My main issue is low impressions.

A bit about where I am:

Hi everyone, I’m a Level Two seller, but recently my daily impressions have dropped significantly and I’m not receiving orders consistently. I’ve optimized my gig titles, descriptions, tags, and pricing, yet the visibility is still very low. I’d really appreciate any advice or insights on what might be affecting impressions and how I can improve my reach and conversions. If anyone has faced a similar issue and recovered, your guidance would mean a lot. Thank you in advance for your support.

Areas I want reviewed:

• My title/headline

• My pricing strategy

• My description/bio

• My thumbnail/image

• My tags/keywords

My profile: https://www.fiverr.com/prodesign981?public_mode=true

Would love to hear from anyone who has been through this!

Hey Rakhiul. You're not a new seller struggling with basics. Level 2, 24 reviews, 4.6 rating, repeat clients, $45 to $60 pricing, 3 hour response time. Your fundamentals are solid.

What you're describing is the algorithm shift that's been hitting established sellers since late 2024. And it's not just you.

This is happening platform-wide

That Fiverr community thread from November 2025 shows the pattern. A seller went from 1 to 3 messages daily to zero within a month. Success Score of 8. Five star rating. 92% response rate. Still got buried. Her exact words were "I'm obviously very disappointed because my Fiverr income was significant and now I'm struggling."

Fiverr lost 100,000 active buyers in Q1 2025 according to their own investor reports. Fewer eyeballs means fiercer competition for who gets shown.

What the algorithm cares about now

The February 2024 update shifted weight toward click through rates and conversion metrics. Keywords and tags matter less. What matters more is whether people who see your gig actually click, and whether people who click actually order.

Your work quality isn't the issue. That Maison Élan fashion e-commerce piece and the SaaS dashboard projects are genuinely strong. The issue is the gap between your portfolio quality and how the algorithm currently surfaces you.

One thing I noticed

Your response to the 3.7 star review from samuelphifer reads defensive. "After completing all of your requirements fullfill, you're saying this. seriously man?" Even if you were completely right, future buyers see that and hesitate. They wonder if you'll respond the same way to them.

That single visible response might be costing you more than you realize. Buyers scroll reviews before ordering. One defensive reply can undo ten positive ones.

Three things that might help

First. Don't edit your gigs for the next 30 days. The algorithm treats edits as a reset trigger. Multiple sellers report 2 to 3 weeks of suppressed impressions after any change, even "improvements." If you recently edited anything, that alone could explain the drop.

Second. Your repeat client okan_arslan from Turkey has ordered multiple times. That relationship is more valuable than algorithm impressions right now. A quick message checking if they have upcoming projects or know anyone who needs UI work could generate more than waiting for search traffic to recover.

Third. Your gig title says "modern website UI UX and landing pages" but your portfolio shows fashion e-commerce and SaaS dashboards. Those are specific. Those are searchable. "SaaS dashboard UI designer" or "e-commerce website UI specialist" might attract different buyers than the generic title currently does. Worth testing after the 30 day wait, I know you might already knew this, but just posted in case...

The bigger picture

Fiverr's buyer base is shrinking. Filip De Vaere's analysis in the Fiverr community breaks down the numbers. The platform has a quality control problem. AI generated portfolios. Fake sellers. Real buyers getting burned and leaving.

The sellers surviving this are building direct client relationships instead of depending entirely on algorithm discovery. Your portfolio is strong enough for Dribbble, Behance, LinkedIn. Those platforms can't suppress you the way Fiverr's algorithm can.

Curious about something

When did the drop actually start for you? Sudden after a gig edit or gradual over weeks? And have you checked your Success Score recently for any "room for growth" flags?

Understanding whether this is search ranking specifically or broader traffic helps figure out which lever to pull first.

Hey, Rakhiul! Please confirm if your query is resolved!

man i'm tired. been mass hiring ui/ux designers on fiverr for the past year for my side projects. let me tell you what it looks like from the buyer side.

when i search "figma website design" i get 200+ results. every thumbnail looks the same. every description says "modern ui ux" and "conversion focused." i scroll fast and click maybe 5 profiles on gut feeling.

the problem isn't your work quality. it's that real portfolios and ai-generated portfolios look identical now. buyers literally can't tell the difference. i got burned twice last year by sellers with good ratings who delivered nothing like their portfolio samples. one guy had 4.8 stars and 50+ reviews. delivered something completely different from his portfolio. turned out half his samples were dribbble screenshots he never made.

so now i do this before ordering. i check if the same buyer name shows up multiple times. repeat clients tell me everything. i look for specific project descriptions in reviews. "designed our saas onboarding flow" means something. "great work fast delivery" means nothing.

here's what most sellers don't realize. i'm not comparing you to other fiverr sellers anymore. i'm comparing you to the last designer who ghosted me. to the guy who argued over revision requests. to the ai-generated garbage i paid $80 for last month.

my trust is already damaged before i even land on your profile.

fiverr lost 100,000 active buyers in q1 2025. 10% down year over year. fewer of us searching. the algorithm isn't broken for you specifically. it's fighting over a shrinking pool.

stop waiting for search to recover. the sellers i rehire aren't showing up in results anymore. they're the ones i bookmarked. or found on dribbble first. or got recommended in a discord.

build outside the algorithm. because right now the algorithm isn't rewarding anyone.
