# Profile Optimization: Feature Stacks and Build Your Public Presence

## Optimize Your Stacklist Profile

Your profile is how the community discovers your expertise. Learn to feature stacks, add social links, and build credibility.

### Feature Stacks on Your Profile

Featured stacks appear prominently on your profile page. To feature a stack:

1. Go to any public stack you own
2. Click "Feature on Profile"
3. Choose between compact or expanded display
4. The stack now appears on your profile

Featured stacks signal your areas of expertise and help visitors understand what you curate.

### Profile Metadata

Make your profile count:
- **Display Name**: Your professional name
- **Bio**: A one-liner about what you curate
- **Profile Photo**: A professional headshot
- **Cover Image**: A branded header image
- **Main Color**: An accent color that reflects your brand

### Add Social Links and CTAs

Connect your profile to:
- Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub, personal website
- Email address for contact
- A primary Call-to-Action button (Hire Me, Work with Us, etc.)
- Action chips for secondary links

Social links build credibility and make it easy for people to connect with you.

### Make Your Profile Discoverable

Your profile ranks in search when:
- You have featured stacks that are public and non-empty
- Your stacks have clear names, descriptions, and consistent tags
- Your cards are well-annotated with titles and notes
- You maintain a complete profile (bio, photo, category)

### Build Authority

Over time, build topical authority by:
- Consistently curating stacks on related topics
- Maintaining 3+ stacks on your core expertise areas
- Generating summaries and FAQs to capture search queries
- Keeping stacks fresh with recent, high-quality cards

Your profile is your curator portfolio. Make it reflect your expertise.
