Do you know what a blue or pink badge next to some agencies and freelancers on Upwork mean? In order to have reasonable expectations from freelancers with this status, it is good to know what TOP RATED and TOP RATED PLUS are.
Here is how Top Rated agencies stand out:
- You can be sure your project will succeed – Job Success Score is 90% or higher.
- You can review all information about the agency and agency members – Complete agency and member profiles with logo, overview, and services.
- You know exactly when you can have your project done – Up-to-date availability or a set estimate.
- You can be sure of the agency credibility – Account in good standing with no disputes with clients for at least 6 months.
- You know you will be answered – Active on the platform in the past 90 days.
TOP RATED PLUS agencies besides maintaining Top Rated status, must have the following:
- Total earnings over $20,000 in the past 12 months.
- Working with large contracts (different for categories, starting with $10,000).
Freelancers and agencies with this badge represent the top talent on Upwork. Etcetera received a Top Rated Plus badge as soon as the concept was introduced. We matched all the criteria before that, and we still do.
