Insights

Insights is your private read on how the art world is finding your profile. It answers the questions a good profile should raise: is anyone looking, who are they, and is that attention growing. Everything on the page is visible only to you.

Opening Insights

Open Insights from the left navigation, or go to /insights.

Insights belongs to you as a person, not to an artist profile. If you are on Artsume as an arts professional and have no artist side, Insights still works: your page gets viewed, and those viewers, their locations, and your search appearances are yours to read. The artist side adds sections rather than opening the door.

The page covers your last 30 days, marked by the Last 30 days badge at the top. Every trend compares those 30 days against the 30 before them.

The headline numbers

Four tiles sit at the top:

• Search appearances. How often you turned up in someone's search or discovery results on Artsume.
• Profile views. How many times your profile was opened, with an all-time figure underneath.
• Unique viewers. How many distinct people are behind those views.
• Engagements. A roll-up of the meaningful interactions with your work. This tile needs the artist side, so a professional-only account sees three tiles rather than four.

More signals

Underneath, a More signals strip carries the quieter numbers worth watching:

• Tracks you: people tracking your work.
• Connections: the size of your network.
• Referrals: people who joined Artsume through you. See Refer and earn.
• Portfolio saves: how many times someone hearted one of your works. Needs the artist side. See Favorites.
• Card scans: scans of your shareable Artsume card. Needs the artist side, and Sharing your profile explains the card.

Reading the trend chips

A trend chip shows the change against the previous 30 days. The chips are colored by whether the change is good, not by which direction it moved, so a number that falls in your favor still reads green.

When there was nothing in the prior period to compare against, Artsume shows no chip at all rather than a meaningless jump from zero. Below the tiles, a Profile views over time chart plots the same data, with a Daily and Weekly toggle for smoothing out day-to-day noise.

Who viewed your profile

The Who viewed your profile card splits your named viewers into two tabs, Organizations and People. It counts signed-in viewers only, and says so: anonymous visits are never listed.

What you see inside depends on your plan:

• On the free plan you get the count, for example that three organizations viewed your profile.
• On Artsume Pro each tab lists the actual viewers, with names, avatars, how often they viewed you, and when they last stopped by.

Browse privately

Being able to see who viewed you depends on being visible yourself. That trade is a single Browse privately switch in Settings, under Privacy & visibility.

Turn it on and you are kept out of the viewer list on the profiles you visit. In return, the Who viewed your profile card stops showing you who viewed yours, and puts a short note in place of the list.

Where your viewers come from

By location

The Where your viewers are from card breaks your profile views down by country as an anonymous aggregate. It is location only, drawn from the connection, and never tied to a named person. You can watch your reach spread to a new country without anyone being identified.

Most viewed works

The Most viewed works card ranks your own portfolio pieces by how often each one was opened, so you can see which work actually pulls attention. It needs the artist side, and it is part of Artsume Pro. On the free plan the card invites you to upgrade instead. Keep building your portfolio and the ranking gets more useful.

Top referrers

A Top referrers panel in the side column groups the traffic to your profile into five kinds of source: Artsume Explorer, Direct / Email, Google Search, Organization page, and Other websites. It tells you whether people are finding you through Explore, a link you shared, or search.

Grow from what you see

The side column turns the numbers into next steps:

• Improve your visibility offers prompts such as Complete your profile, Add more artwork, and Keep your CV updated. Each one links straight into your profile, and a prompt drops off the card once you have done it. This card needs the artist side.
• Programs activity summarizes your own funnel: programs viewed, applications submitted, and applications started. For the status vocabulary behind those, see Managing applications.
• Achievements shows your earned badges by category, with progress rings on the ones still open.

Tracking counts toward your numbers here, and it comes from your professional graph. Your network explains how tracking and connecting differ.

How views are counted

A few deliberate rules keep the numbers honest, and they also explain why plenty of views carry no name:

• One view per browser per day. A repeat visit from the same browser inside 24 hours is not counted again, so somebody reloading your page cannot inflate your views.
• Bots are filtered out. Automated crawlers are detected and excluded.
• Not every view carries a name. A view is attributed to a named viewer only when that person is signed in and not browsing privately. Signed-out visitors, private browsers, and anyone Artsume cannot confidently identify are recorded anonymously. Your total view count will usually run well ahead of your named-viewer count.
• You never appear as your own viewer. Opening your own profile is never attributed to you.
