How Fiverr Performance Metrics Works?
Well the new update on fiverr for 2024 is performance metrics of all sellers. From now on fiverr authority will judge all the sellers by their performance to improve more opportunity for both seller and buyers. Though we’ve seen there were some rating systems were on the marketplace to rate the best sellers according to their performance.
On the new update we can see they’ve launched Performance Metrics for all sellers. Yes, the metrics will tell you what are your position now and how you can move on the next level. To watch your performance level sellers should click on the Level Overview options on their dashboard. When they click on the overview option they will see their current performance metrics like this

Yes, they will check your gig performance including your connection with buyers and number of orders placed by the buyers. Though the highest number of success score on fiverr is 10 but you need to maintain 7 to qualifies for next level.
Rating:
This metrics shows the rating you’ve gained after completing your jobs on Fiverr. If your buyer get satisfied with your performance they will rate your services. Top rating is 5 but at least you need to maintain 4.6 rating to qualifies for the next level. So this rating plays a vital role for any sellers on marketplace to get noticed by the buyers. If they noticed any bad rating or comments posting by the buyers that you worked previously then they will not place any orders.
Response Rate:
Response rate is also crucial for us. Because as a freelancer we need to stay alert on the platform, when someone knocked us and want to know anything regarding our gig and services we need to reply them asap. The most important part is to reply your buyer within 1 hour. If you response your buyers so late it will hamper your images. No one will knock you if they notices that you’re replying them lately. Though fiverr asked us to maintain response rate 80 but you need 90 to qualifies for the next level.
Orders:
It reflects how many orders you’ve done till now. If you’re a new seller and you want to move on the next level then you need to complete some orders. On each level there’re some targets to achieve it and to move on the next level. The more order you’ve completed the more experience you’re gaining. So its really important for any seller to achieve success on the marketplace. Right now on the new performance metrics we need to focus on to get orders if we want to move on
- Level 1 target is now 5 Order completion
- Level 2 target is now 20 Order completion
- Top Rated Level target is now 40 Order completion
Unique Clients:
Unique clients means how many new client you’ve reached. As a freelancer you can work with so many buyers, one buyer can hired you for several times if they’re happy with your performance. But fiverr always supported us to get new clients to work with. Because the more unique clients you’ve achieved means your performances is getting noticed by new clients as well as old ones. It also shows our reputations as well. On the new updated we need to get more unique clients and the metrics are
- Level 1 target is now 3 unique clients

We all works for money. If you’re a freelancer and you’re selling your services on any marketplace like Fiverr or Upwork buyers will paid you for your services. The more work you get there’s a opportunity to get more money. On fiverr earnings metrics shows how much you’ve earned by doing business or selling your gigs on the platforms. Though Fiverr will take 20% as their commission. Whatever you get you need to give 20% to fiverr as their commissions. If you want to move on the next level then you need to earn following amount from the platform
- Level 1 target is now $400
