Malt profile title: the method and examples
Your title is the most important part of your Malt profile to get found. The method to write it, examples by job and the mistakes to avoid.

Your title is the line under your name. It shows in search results, next to your photo, rate and key skills. It's both the most important place for your keywords and what makes clients want, or not, to click on your profile.
The 3 rules of a good title
- Your job, clearly. Clients must understand in a second what you do.
- 1 or 2 keywords your clients type. A technology, a specialty, an industry.
- All the available space. Malt limits the title to 50 characters: aim for 35 to 50.
The second title may feel livelier, but it contains no word a client types in the search. It stays invisible.
Examples by job
- Development: "Python & Django Developer | API, data"
- Design: "UX/UI Designer | Mobile apps and SaaS"
- Marketing: "SEO Consultant | Audit, strategy and content"
- Writing: "SEO Copywriter | B2B articles and pages"
- No-code: "n8n & Make Expert | Process automation"
Notice the structure: the job, then what sets you apart, separated by a "|" or an "&".
Common mistakes
- A title that's too short, leaving unused room for your keywords.
- A slogan instead of a job.
- Too many stacked keywords, making the title unreadable for clients.
- Keywords missing from your skills: your title and your 5 key skills should echo each other.
Finding the right keywords
Type your job in Malt's search bar and look at the profiles ranking first: which words do they use in their title? The suggestions in the skills field are a good source too.
