Performance Metrics
Your dashboard displays key performance metrics for each of your gigs, helping you understand how they're performing and which ones are attracting the most interest.
1Understanding Metrics
| Metric | Description | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Views | The number of times your gig has been viewed | Indicates how many people are seeing your gig |
| Likes | The number of users who have liked your gig | Shows interest level and potential customer engagement |
| Last Updated | When you last made changes to your gig | Helps you keep track of when information might need refreshing |
| Status | Whether your gig is active or inactive | Indicates if your gig is visible to potential customers |
2Detailed Analytics
For more detailed analytics about your gig's performance:
- Click on the "Stats" or "Analytics" link on a gig card (if available)
- View detailed information about views over time, user engagement, and more
For more information on understanding and using metrics, see our Metrics Guide.
Pro Tip
Compare metrics across your gigs to identify what works best. If one gig is getting significantly more views or likes, consider what makes it more appealing and apply those elements to your other gigs.
Gig Status
Managing the status of your gigs is an important part of maintaining your presence on Linkyoh. You can control whether each gig is visible to potential customers.
1Status Types
Active
When a gig is active:
- It appears in search results
- It's visible in category listings
- Users can find and interact with it
- It can receive views, likes, and inquiries
Inactive
When a gig is inactive:
- It doesn't appear in search results
- It's hidden from category listings
- The URL still works if someone has it saved
- It can still be viewed, but won't attract new customers
2When to Change Status
| Scenario | Recommended Status | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You're currently available for work | Active | Makes your services visible to potential customers |
| You're temporarily unavailable (vacation, fully booked, etc.) | Inactive | Prevents inquiries when you can't take on new work |
| You're updating your gig information | Inactive (temporarily) | Prevents customers from seeing incomplete information |
| You no longer offer this service | Inactive or Delete | Removes services you no longer provide |
Pro Tip
Instead of deactivating a gig when you're temporarily unavailable, consider updating the description to indicate your availability timeline. This keeps your gig visible and lets potential customers know when you'll be available again.
