Discovery score: 114 → 137 in one week.
That puts me in the top 5% of independents on Contra.
No tricks. Just focused profile work:
— Shopify-only positioning
— Stronger project case studies
— Cleaner service descriptions
— Better keywords throughout
Niche down, show real work, write clearly.
The algorithm rewards the same things clients do.
If your discovery score is low — your profile
probably isn't saying one clear thing.
Fix that first. Everything else follows.

Top 5%—that’s seriously impressive. Clearly your consistency and quality of work are paying off. Keep pushing!

Thank you! Honestly the biggest thing for me was patience + consistency, discovery doesn't move overnight. Focus on strong hooks, relevant keywords, and engaging early after every post. Small tweaks add up fast 🙌

This hero section hits differently — the atmosphere + lighting create a strong emotional hook right away. The silhouette paired with that cascading data effect feels both human and futuristic, which is a tough balance to pull off.
Really like how the visual storytelling carries...
Impressive

Personal pet peeves
😬 Clients asking for logo design but requiring everything to be done natively in Figma
😬 Clients who reach out for brand or product design but only based on their AI generated images
😬 Asking for premium design for a premium luxury brand… and then negotiating the budget
What's yours?
Let's use this thread as a safe space.
Every single one of these gave me immediate flashbacks! 😂 Especially the luxury aesthetic on a discount budget.
Add this to the list: When they want 'viral short-form content' but refuse to let anyone talk on camera, show a product, or use trending pacing. What exactly are we working with here? 😭 Great thread!
Here's my submission for the @Bubble.io X @Contra HQ 👾
PulseWay is a mobile-first social intelligence tool that scans trending products across TikTok, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn — then matches small businesses with potential clients who are already engaging with those trends.

The problem 😶🌫️
Small businesses and freelancers spend hours scrolling, cold DMing, and guessing who might need their services. There's no shortage of demand — viral products create buying intent every single day — but there's no simple way to connect that trending signal to an actual lead you can reach out to. The gap between "this product is blowing up" and "here's someone ready to buy" is where most small businesses lose time and money.

Seasonal connection📈
Summer is launch season — new products flood social media, creators push content harder, and consumer spending peaks. The App is built for this exact window: when trends move fast, the businesses that spot them first and reach the right people first win. The tool turns seasonal trend spikes into a client acquisition engine rather than noise you scroll past.
Monetisation💰
Freemium model with two tiers. Pro ($19/mo yearly, $29/mo monthly) unlocks unlimited niche tracking, full client finder with AI match scores, real-time alerts, direct in-app outreach, and advanced analytics. The 35% yearly discount drives annual commitments and predictable revenue.
Stunning!
Who here is still taking advantage of referral bonuses?
For anyone who missed it, Contra will send you a $25 bonus for every new client you invite that funds a project or pays an invoice of $500+.
The bonus is paid instantly to your Contra wallet.
All you need is their name and email.
I do use this a lot!! Bringing (trying to) all Fiverr clients here 😂
