# Set up LandScale profile Creating a LandScale profile is the first step in establishing your landscape initiative on the platform. Your profile serves as a central hub to showcase your initiative’s work, providing visibility to key stakeholders, funders, and partners.

Log into your LandScale account and click 'Create a new landscape' to get started.

A free LandScale profile provides an overview of your landscape, including its geographic boundary, key characteristics, and involved stakeholders. By setting up a profile, you create a foundation for greater engagement, transparency, and collaboration. Specifically, you can showcase: * The **landscape boundary**, including its size, location, and type (jurisdictional, watershed, stakeholder-defined). * **Key characteristics**, such as population and traded commodities. * A **narrative about the landscape**, highlighting its challenges, opportunities, and the initiative's vision for the future. * **Key stakeholders** involved in the initiative, including their roles and levels of involvement. * **Contact details** so others can get in touch. Once your profile is set up, you can expand it by evaluating your [landscape initiative maturity](/landscape-initiative-maturity/get-started-with-landscape-initiative-maturity.md) or conducting a [LandScale assessment](https://docs.landscale.org/assessment-guidelines/), allowing you to validate and showcase deeper insights into your sustainability efforts. Your profile can be shared publicly through a dedicated link, making it a useful tool for disclosures, reporting, and attracting potential investors or partners. The platform also enables you to explore and connect with other landscape initiatives, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange.
