The post title should follow this format:

      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 & land systems. 3-6 years exp. Apply by May 7"
