| Field | Limit |
|---|---|

Characters include spaces and punctuation. Fiverr counts the “I will” at the start of your title, which is why the counter includes it.
How to write a gig title that ranks
- Lead with the keyword buyers type. “I will build a WordPress website” beats “I will be your expert web partner”.
- Be specific. Name the platform, format or outcome: Shopify store, YouTube thumbnail, SEO blog post.
- Don't stuff. One main keyword and one variation is enough. Titles that read like a list of tags look spammy to buyers.
Writing the description
Use the 1,200 characters to answer what a buyer is wondering: what exactly do I get, how fast, and why you? A structure that works well:
- One sentence on the result you deliver.
- A short bullet list of what's included.
- Why you — experience, speed, a specific niche.
- A clear next step: “Message me before ordering if your project is custom.”
What gets gigs flagged
Fiverr doesn't allow contact details or ways to move the conversation off the platform. The checker warns you about emails, links, phone numbers and mentions of outside apps, so you can remove them before publishing. Pair this with a correctly sized gallery image from the gig image resizer.
