How it works
Three steps to Upwork profile optimization
Pick a date range
Choose all-time, last 30 days, last 90 days, or a custom start date to focus the skill analysis on the market window that matters most to your niche.
Scan your matched jobs for skills
Profile Optimizer reads the skills tagged on every Upwork job your alerts matched and counts which ones appear most, giving you a real-market frequency ranking.
Add the top skills to your Upwork profile
Add the highest-frequency skills to your Upwork profile (up to 20) and tag them on past jobs. Upwork's algorithm scores you higher the moment they overlap with a job posting, boosting your profile toward rising talent status.
