# Share It and Grow

> Chapter 5 of the Make Shapes guide: publish your Shape, help people discover it, and keep making it better over time.

*Chapter 5 of the [Make Shapes](/make-shapes) guide.*

You've built a Shape with a personality, a memory, and good instincts in a group. The last step is getting it in front of people and making it better as they use it.

## Make it discoverable

A Shape only grows if people can find it. In the Creator Dashboard, turn on **Discoverable** so it shows up in search, then give it a profile that earns the click:

* **Tagline.** One line that says what it's for. This is the hook in search results.
* **Tags and category.** How people browsing land on it. Pick the ones that actually fit.
* **Avatar and banner.** A face and a backdrop. People judge fast, so make them count.
* **Description.** A short, honest pitch for who would love this Shape.

You can also style the profile page with custom [HTML and CSS](/css) once you want it to really stand out. Every field lives in the [Shape Settings Reference](/shape-settings).

## Give it a home and share it

Your Shape has its own page and a [custom link](/vanityurl) you can send anywhere. The fastest way to get it used is to bring it where people already are: drop it into a [group chat](/create-a-chat) with friends, share the link in a community, or post it to a [fandom space](/fandomchat) that fits.

## Keep improving it

Great Shapes are grown, not written in one sitting. Once yours is live and people are talking to it:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Watch real conversations">
    Read how it actually behaves. Is it too long? Too eager? Off-tone in a crowd?
  </Step>

  <Step title="Change one thing">
    Adjust a single thing, usually reply length or one Free Will trigger, so you can tell what worked. [Regenerate](/regeneration) a few replies to see its range.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch it catch on">
    The dashboard tracks daily and lifetime messages and new people who find your Shape. It's a fun way to see it grow.
  </Step>
</Steps>
