In today’s data-driven world, businesses thrive not just on data—but on clear, actionable insights. That’s why business intelligence tools like Looker and Power BI have become essential in transforming raw numbers into meaningful decisions. At Discover Webtech, we’re proud to be recognized as a Top Looker Expert on Upwork, and this post is all about how we got there—and how our journey can benefit you.
The Road to Becoming a Top-Rated Looker Agency on Upwork
Like many success stories, ours started with a single project and a vision—to bring enterprise-level data visualization and dashboard development services to businesses of all sizes.
Over time, our founder, Shiwali Ratan M., led the charge with unwavering focus. With over 378 completed projects, a stellar 4.5/5 client satisfaction rating, and a reputation for reliability, we quickly earned Top Rated status on Upwork, the world’s largest freelancing marketplace.
But the badge wasn’t handed to us—it was earned.
To become a Top Rated Looker Expert, we had to meet strict criteria:
- Maintain a Job Success Score (JSS) of 90%+
- Earn a solid stream of revenue over the last 12 months
- Stay active and consistent on the platform
- Keep a 100% complete profile with verified credentials
It meant delivering exceptional value every single time.
Note:
According to Upwork, only the top 10% of freelancers across all categories earn the Top Rated badge.
What Makes a Looker Expert Stand Out
Becoming a Looker specialist on Upwork isn’t just about knowing LookML syntax. It’s about delivering business outcomes that clients feel in their bottom line.
1. Looker Mastery & LookML Modeling
We dive deep into data modeling using LookML, building scalable data layers that support efficient querying and visual storytelling. Whether it’s user-level metrics, multi-source data joins, or custom explores, we’ve done it all.
Note:
Gartner’s 2024 BI Market Guide shows Looker adoption grew 22% YoY, especially among mid-market and enterprise firms needing scalable, governed data layers.
2. Client-First Approach
We don’t just build dashboards—we ask, “What decisions are you trying to make?” and “Who’s going to use this report?” That empathy has helped us create dashboards that drive decisions, not confusion.
Note:
A Harvard Business Review study found that only 24% of business users trust their data. The solution? Human-centered dashboards with clear, context-driven KPIs—exactly what we focus on.
3. Cross-Platform BI Expertise
Although we’re known for Looker development, our team also supports Power BI and Looker Studio integrations. This multi-tool experience means we can recommend the best solution—not just the one we’re selling.
Note:
According to a 2024 Forrester report, 60% of companies use more than one BI tool, making cross-platform experience a key success factor in BI consulting.
4. Real-Time Data Insights
Businesses today can’t wait hours to see updated metrics. That’s why we specialize in real-time data pipelines and Looker embedded analytics, ensuring your team is always acting on the freshest data.
Note:
Google Cloud reports that over 72% of Looker clients use BigQuery for real-time or near-real-time analytics, demanding consultants who can implement efficient pipelines.
