Say it in plain words. "I would like company, or friends with benefits, and I am not looking for a relationship" is a profile. "No strings" on its own is not, because people use it to mean a fling, a secret, or a relationship they do not want to admit to yet. The other person can only answer the sentence you actually write.
Say what is included, and what is not. If you do not want to meet their friends, say so. If you do not want a message every day, say so. If you might want a relationship later, do not write no strings and hope they notice the mood. A clear limit is kinder than a hint. People who want a partner can decline, and that saves both of you the third date.
This is still a meeting with a stranger. No strings is not a reason to skip a few messages, a video call, and a public place. It is not a reason to send a photo you cannot take back, or to go to their house because the conversation moved quickly. How long to talk before you meet is that order. Meeting someone safely is the place and the way home.
You can change your mind. If it starts to feel like a relationship, or you want it to stop, say so once. You do not owe a debate. When to stop writing is that ending. Only Dating is free, so there is no payment tying you to a conversation you have finished with.
If what you actually want is a relationship, write that instead. A no-strings profile that is hoping for a boyfriend gets replies from people who believed the first sentence.
