Google’s search results for “design freelance” have changed drastically since January.
The company has announced it is re-evaluating its search rankings for the search term “design freelancer”.
In the past months, Google has shown increasing interest in the freelance market, with the search terms “design job”, “design agency” and “design consultancy” showing up on the site more frequently.
The search results of the company’s main search results page (pictured) show the number of queries for the terms “creative design, freelance graphic designers” and the term “graphic designer”.
According to a recent report by Google Trends, the search results have seen a surge in the past two months, with searches for the term design freelancer on January 31, 2015 showing a steady increase in popularity.
The search results on February 1, 2015 also showed a steady rise in popularity with the word “design” showing a slight drop.
Google has previously made efforts to attract graphic designers in India.
In September 2014, Google launched an initiative for its online search results that aimed to increase the amount of search results related to freelance graphic artists.
Google was quick to follow suit and in April 2015 launched a search for “graphics designers”.
Google has also announced plans to improve the search quality for the “design graphic designer” keyword.
In May 2016, Google introduced a new search engine optimization algorithm that will ensure search results show only relevant content.
This is a change from previous years, which focused on increasing the quality of search for the keyword.
A report by ET Now also revealed that in July 2016, a Google engineer claimed that the company was working on a new algorithm that would improve search quality of the term designer.
The report further stated that Google was also testing different methods to improve search results, such as adding “design design” to the top of the search result list.
