Not getting any converted leads from Contra in the last few weeks feels brutal. Not sure if something changed with the algo or my profile, but it feels like the stats are dropping as well.

Did you notice anything similar recently?

I actually did. I don't have that many impressions (btw that's crazy, how do you do it?), but I was receiving some leads last month, but now zero

Congrats! My pipeline was way more active in February but now it's just dead. Screenshot might be a bit misleading since it's year to date stats not 30 days

Oh I see! Still a solid number! Anyway, it feels a little slow lately. I don't think it's us, I think it might be the market? I don't know if that makes sense

Didn’t even realise when I crossed $10K on Contra.

Not a crazy number, but a meaningful one.

Still a long way to go.

Momentum > everything.

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.
