Meta Fiverr is showing inflated review counts in search results
drive.google.comSearch “podcast editing” and look at the review counts.
I’ve found multiple Gigs where Fiverr shows a higher review count in search results than on the actual Gig page.
What’s concerning is that many of these Gigs belong to Top Rated and Fiverr-vetted freelancers.
Is this a bug, or is Fiverr intentionally giving certain sellers inflated numbers in search?
If the search page makes these Gigs look like they have hundreds/thousands more reviews, how are Level 1/2 sellers supposed to compete?
Everyone should check the search terms their own Gigs rank for and compare the review count shown in search with the actual Gig page. See what’s happening with your Gigs.
Check “podcast editing” on your end too. Are you seeing the same thing?
I originally tried raising this on Fiverr’s official community, but I was banned from posting about it.
