Executive summary
Guru is a B2B freelance platform with strong pricing crawlability and clear employer/freelancer positioning, but it is at high risk of being omitted from AI evaluation shortlists for comparison-style prompts (e.g., "How does Guru compare to Upwork?" / "How does Guru compare to Fiverr?") because first-party vs-competitor comparison pages were not found in live search. The single highest-ROI fix is to publish and index first-party comparison pages that explicitly lead with Guru and directly answer the exact evaluation queries you listed.
