Our Story
GigRank was built by freelancers, for freelancers. We know the frustration of having great skills but staying invisible in platform search results.
Our Mission
The best freelancer doesn't always win the job. The most visible one does. Platform algorithms favor certain keywords, title structures, and profile completeness metrics - often invisible to the freelancers being ranked.
We believe every skilled freelancer deserves a fair shot. Our mission is to decode platform ranking logic and give freelancers the tools to optimize their presence without gaming the system.

Realized ranking factors were opaque and freelancers had no optimization tools
Built GigRank to help freelancers understand and optimize their platform presence
How We Started
It started with a simple observation: talented freelancers were losing jobs to less qualified competitors who simply understood platform SEO better.
Our founder spent 6 months reverse-engineering Upwork's ranking algorithm, testing hundreds of profile variations, and documenting what actually moved the needle.
What emerged was a systematic approach to profile optimization - not tricks or hacks, but alignment with how platforms actually evaluate and rank freelancers.
Our Values
These principles guide every decision we make and every feature we build.
We show exactly how our AI works, what data it uses, and how it makes decisions. No black boxes.
We respect each marketplace's rules and terms. Our goal is to help you play the game better, not cheat it.
Every feature we build starts with one question: does this actually help freelancers win more work?
Platform algorithms change. We constantly update our models to stay ahead of ranking factor shifts.
