With the purpose of expanding the assistance and guidance provided to its members, ProZ.com is releasing a new site guidance center. The guidance center is a place for members to learn how to get the most out of their ProZ.com experience by:

Finding out where they appear in the freelance directory

The ProZ.com freelance directory is a searchable database of translators and interpreters that are registered at ProZ.com. This directory is the most popular in the translation industry, and represents the main source of jobs at ProZ.com.

Learning how to improve their directory listing to attract clients’ attention

Directory results are broken into two layers: the first layer consists of (paying) members, and the second consists of non-paying registrants. By default, each set of results is ordered by KudoZ points.

Checking ProZ.com resources to learn how to stand out from the crowd

There are several resources at ProZ.com to show you how to get the most out of the site. These include articles, videos, blog posts, webinars and more!

Receiving assistance from site guides and site staff

ProZ.com’s mission is to provide tools and opportunities that translators, translation companies, and others in the language industry can use to network, expand their businesses, improve their work and have fun. Site guides and staff will be happy to help you with this.

Visit the site guidance center at any time by clicking on “Site guidance center” under the About menu tab. There is also a direct link to it in the Support center.

I recommend you to try the “My directory ranking” tool now and go back to it after applying the tips suggested to see how your position in the directory and your visibility improve.

And if you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact site guides or site staff at any time.

Have a great weekend!

Kind regards,

Lucia
