Can't find your Gig?

If you have an active Gig on Fiverr, clients can use the search bar to find it. Your Gig's placement in search is determined by Fiverr's algorithm, which factors in quality and business metrics, including your performance over a set period, to deliver optimized and personalized results.

Can't find your Gig in search?

You've put effort into creating your Gig, so it can be challenging when you can't find it in search results. Here are a few reasons your Gig might not be appearing:

  • Sometimes, your Gig might not appear because it's under review by Fiverr's Trust & Safety team or has been flagged for a policy violation. This could be due to content in your Gig description, images, video, or even the service itself not aligning with our Terms of Service or our Community Standards. If your Gig is found to violate policies, it might be removed from search or taken down entirely.
  • If you've recently made significant edits or updates to your Gig, it might temporarily disappear from search. When you make changes, our system often needs a little time to re-index your Gig and ensure everything is in order. Give it a bit of time after making updates, and it should reappear.
  • While your performance metrics are crucial, sometimes a Gig can be hard to find simply because it's in a highly competitive category. Many freelancers offer similar services, and even a well-optimized Gig might get lost in the crowd. Consider if your Gig can be more niche or offer a unique angle to help it stand out.
