# How do I add an Area of Expertise to my profile?

## Where can I update my Areas of Expertise on my Clarity profile? How many expertise can I add? Why can't I add my relevant tags?

You can add or update your Areas of Expertise on your Clarity profile by visiting this link:  
👉 [https://clarity.fm/settings/expert/expertise](https://clarity.fm/settings/expert/expertise)

This is the dedicated section where you can manage the topics under which you offer advice.

> **🔔 Note:** If you don’t see the option to add expertise on your profile, it’s likely because you haven’t been approved as an expert yet. You can double-check this by going to **Edit Profile** — if you're already approved, you should see an option to **Convert to Member**.

### Guidelines for Adding Areas of Expertise

#### 🔖 Choose From Existing Tags

When adding an expertise area, **you must select from the existing list of tags or topics**. As you begin typing, a list of suggestions will automatically appear — simply select the most relevant one. Custom or manually entered tags are not allowed.

#### ➕ Maximum Number of Expertise Listings

You can list up to **5 Areas of Expertise** on your profile. These tags help potential clients quickly understand your specialties and improve your visibility in relevant search results.

---

### Tips for Creating a Great Expertise Listing

#### 1. 📌 Use a Keyword-Rich and Descriptive Title

Include specific keywords a client might use when searching for guidance. Focus on both clarity and the value offered.

**❌ Bad Example:** Raising Capital  
**✅ Good Example:** How to Raise Capital from Silicon Valley Investors While Living Abroad

#### 2. 🖼️ Select a High-Quality and Relevant Cover Image

Your cover image should visually reinforce your expertise. Ideal choices include:

- Personal photos showcasing relevant achievements or awards
- Professional, high-resolution images that support your domain of expertise

#### 3. 📝 Write a Compelling Description

Your description should effectively communicate:

- Your background and achievements in this field
- What a client will gain by booking a call with you
- Any relevant credentials, major clients, or notable success stories

---

By carefully selecting and crafting your Areas of Expertise, you increase the chances of connecting with the right clients and making meaningful, high-impact calls. Be intentional and strategic with each listing.
