#### 2. Post Title

This is the job designation or role as mentioned in the JD along with other important details. This can also be the name of a fellowship or a fund. Basically, whatever it is that people need to apply for.

The post title should follow this format:

**Role | City, Org | Salary**

**Formatting rules:**

- Use a pipe '|' as the separator between fields
- Salary should be presented in LPA format
- **Skip any field that is missing** do not leave empty pipes. For example, if salary is undisclosed, write Role | City, Org
- For remote roles with no fixed city, write Remote in place of the city
- Keep the title concise, aim to stay under **60 characters** so it doesn't get cut off in Google Search results

**Examples of job titles**

- IT-MIS Officer | Bengaluru, Buzz Women | ₹6 LPA
- Documentary Film Fellowship 2025–26 | Remote, Rough Edges

#### 1. Meta Data

Google Search: how it displays your post

When someone finds an aikyam jobs listing on Google, they see two things: the **title tag** (blue link) and the **meta description** (grey text below). Getting these right improves click-through rates.

**Meta Title (= Title Tag on Google)**

- Google displays roughly **50–60 characters** before truncating
- The Role | City, Org | Salary format works well here - it's scannable and keyword-rich
- Avoid ALL CAPS or filler words like "Amazing opportunity at…"
- Example: Research Associate at Nutgraph Social Data Lab | Delhi Jobs

**Meta Description (grey text below)** This is what appears as the description snippet on Google.

- Keep it between **140–160 characters** (Google cuts off anything longer)
- Lead with the role and organisation, then add compensation if available
- Write it as a plain, direct sentence, no hashtags or bullet points
- Example: "Nutgraph is hiring a Research Associate in New Delhi! Study renewable energy &amp; land systems. 3-6 years exp. Apply by May 7"
