Use this interactive demo to learn how to make your Upwork freelancer profile visible to clients.

Quick summary

Setting your Upwork profile to public makes you discoverable by clients both on and off the platform. This walkthrough covers every step inside Account Settings to change your profile visibility in under a minute.


Steps

  1. Click your profile picture or name in the top-right corner of Upwork.
  2. Select Account Settings from the dropdown menu.
  3. In the settings menu, select Profile Settings under the My Profile section.
  4. Go to the Visibility section under My Profile and click on the drop-down menu.
  5. Select Public from the three available options.
  6. A public profile improves your chances of being discovered by clients on and off Upwork.

📌 Why this matters

Making your Upwork profile public is one of the most impactful steps a freelancer can take to increase visibility and win more work. A public profile allows clients to find you through Upwork search, Google, and other external channels — dramatically expanding your reach beyond active job applications. Freelancers with public profiles are more likely to receive direct client invitations, reducing the need to compete for every project. Enabling this setting takes less than a minute and can significantly improve your chances of being hired on Upwork.
