You want something like 
https://github.com/snapcore/snapcraft/blob/1.x/examples/shout/snapcraft.yaml

So

services:
     <service-name>:
         start: <start-command>
         description: <your-service-description>

There are many more keywords that can be used here which are described 
in https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/15.04/docs/meta.md (and might 
also be in that manual link I shared with you)
