Figma Community description does search and setup work
Write the title and description for the exact job users search, then use the description to carry setup notes and a running change log instead of treating it like decorative copy.
Why this can grow a startup
Most resource pages waste the description on slogans. Figma's publishing advice is much more useful. It says to write for what people are searching, explain how the resource helps them succeed, make the description easy to scan, and use updates as a change log. That turns one field into both discovery and onboarding infrastructure. A user who lands cold from search can decide faster, and an existing user can see whether the resource is maintained without digging through release notes elsewhere.
Company example
Figma's creator guidance tells publishers to write for real search behavior, include setup and usage instructions, format descriptions for scanning, and consider adding a change log whenever they publish an update.
