I'm a Digital Marketing Analyst trying to land freelance gigs. Here's my portfolio—how does it look from a client’s perspective?

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve been working as a Digital Marketing Analyst, and I’m now looking to land more freelance gigs. I built a portfolio website to showcase my skills, experience, and work samples:

Before I start aggressively pitching or running outreach campaigns, I wanted to take a step back and review my site from a client’s perspective. What would they really think? Would they feel confident in hiring me based on what they see?

Here’s a quick breakdown of what I’ve observed (and would love your feedback too):


✅ What I think works:

  • Clean and fast-loading site (responsive, SEO-friendly layout)

  • Clear about what I offer – SEO, Ads, Analytics, etc.

  • Certifications and project links are included for proof of knowledge

  • Professional tone without sounding too corporate


⚠️ What I think could be better:

  • No strong call to action (thinking of adding a “Hire Me” or “Free Audit” button)

  • Missing testimonials – I’ve done internships and small projects but haven’t added quotes yet

  • No niche targeting – might work better if I niche down (like “SEO for local businesses” or “Google Ads for small brands”)

  • No pricing info – Not sure if I should add “Starting at ₹X” type pricing or keep it flexible?


🧠 Other ideas I’m considering:

  • Adding short case studies or “Before & After” style results

  • Writing a few blog posts (maybe “Top SEO Mistakes I Fixed” or “How I Audited a Website in 30 Minutes”)

  • Embedding a contact form directly on every page to reduce friction


🗨️ I’d love your thoughts on:

  • From a client’s point of view, does my site build trust?

  • What would you add/remove/improve?

  • Any real feedback (even brutal honesty) is appreciated! 🙏

Thanks in advance! Hopefully this helps others in the same boat too.

Cheers,
Naveen
