I've noticed that many freelancers, especially from African markets, heavily stuff keywords into their profiles.
For example, their headlines and descriptions contain the same service-related keywords repeated multiple times.
My question is:
Does this strategy still work for profile visibility and client acquisition, or does it make the profile look spammy and less trustworthy?
For those who have tested both approaches, what has performed better for you:
- Heavy keyword optimization
- Natural positioning with strategic keyword placement
Would love to hear real experiences and results.
