How it works

Three steps to Upwork profile optimization

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.
