6 Ways I Ask Google to Help My Relationship Stories Get Views
Do you want a step-by-step guide on how to talk SEO to Google about your online stories?
Relationship stories are popular online so if you want your stories to stand out from the rest, you have to talk to Google about them.
Talking to Google before you publish your Medium stories will help them get noticed online. But of course, you have to speak to them in their own language; SEO (search engine optimization).
Doing this is a lot easier than you might think, but more about that later. By the way, when I first saved this story I forgot to change the title in time, but I added 3 more tips, so the url link still says “3” but you actually get six tips that I will break down in detail.
SEO is usually something that writers don’t like to hassle with. This is what blogger extraordinaire Casey Botticello had to say about it:
“SEO is something that you may have heard of, but it may sound like some kind of mystical dark art that only specialist SEO services can help you with.”
Casey is also a writer on Medium, so he understands what we writers around are up against. That is why I decided to provide a step-by-step guide to show EXACTLY how to talk to Google about their stories.
This information will DETAIL everything and tell you:
- Why you need to talk to Google
- What you need to say to Google
- When to talk to Google
- Exactly how to talk to Google
As you might imagine, this is one of the most important writing related stories you will read.
Do you REALLY want to understand and absorb the details completely? If your answer is yes, then set aside 10 minutes of uninterrupted time, to read and digest ALL the facts. That is how you will get the most BENEFIT.
Talk to Google
I write all different types of stories, including life lessons, self awareness, and tons of stories about writing. But one of my most favorite things to write about is relationships.
I enjoy writing about all the complex relationships we have in our lives, particularly our romantic and family relationships.
I’ve also written about friendships, which are another interesting type of relationship to analyze and figure out.
With so many competing relationship stories online and on the Medium website, I want and need all the help I can get on how to make my stories stand out on Google, so they can be viewed by readers.
What you need to say to Google
Speak in SEO:
The story you are reading now was written for a very specific reason and has a very specific agenda, so I want to make sure Google knows what that is.
I want people to find this story, when they search for how to make your stories stand out so I need to make that information very clear to Google, by saying exactly that (like I just did).
I want them to know that my primary TAG for this story is relationships, besides the other four tags I chose.
So now, let’s talk about when is the right time to speak to Google about my writing.
When to talk to Google
The very best time to talk to Google about your relationship stories, or anything else you may be writing about, is right before you first publish your story.
This writing tip that you’re about to learn right now is probably one of the most important tips you can learn about getting help from Google.
Once you learn and understand how, you’ll be able to use these writing tips in all your article writing, and not just with your writing on Medium or your relationship stories.
Writing on Medium and trying to be visible is a difficult challenge. That is why writers cannot afford to waste the opportunity to get help from Google at the right time; before you push the “publish” tab.
Are you one of the many writers who is failing to have this important discussion? When was the last time you tried to talk to Google?
If you’ve been ignoring the special relationship Google has with you and your stories, it’s time you start letting Google know what your stories are about, and letting them know right away.
As I mentioned, the best time to do this is before you first publish the story you’ve written. You can read about that in the next section and learn exactly how to do this.
BONUS PREVIEW: At the end of this story, I’ll give you a bonus tip you can try with some of those former stories you already wrote.
You may still be able to get help for older stories, if you go back and have the conversation you should have had with Google when they were first written.
This is another really valuable writing tip that you will definitely want to remember, so be sure to check it out at the end.
The ways to talk to Google
Now, here’s where we really get to the heart of this information. This is where I tell you how to talk SEO to Google.
- Talk to Google in your title
- Talk to Google in your subtitle
- Talk to Google in your subheadings

Each one of these specific areas of your story, all allow you an opportunity to say something to Google, so they know exactly what your Medium story is about.
Final Thoughts
In summary, everything you’ve learned on this page will help you have a better understanding of why, when, and how to communicate with Google about your writing, and what you need to say when you do.
REMEMBER:
- Why you need to talk to Google and how they can help your writing get visibility.
- What you need to say to Google so they get the exact message you’re trying to convey to readers about your stories.
- When to talk to Google and how not to let the opportunity pass before you actually publish your writing.
- Exactly how to talk to Google so you can go straight to the section where you’re able to provide important tags and content that wouldn’t fit in your titles.
Now that you have all the information you need to establish a better relationship with Google, when will you start talking SEO to them about your writing?
BONUS TIP:
For an additional bonus tip, you can try going back to former stories you’ve written, and doing what was explained in the section called: “talking to Google in your story settings.”
The stories that have already been published won’t give you the the “More settings” option that you only see when writing your drafts. Instead, you’ll be looking for “Story Settings” in the drop down menu.
Once you click on the tab, everything else is the same, so follow the same procedures that were already explained.
The purpose in going back to do this is because “…Google fetches a page, reads it, and adds it to the index…” That was what Google’s website stated on their page about search engine optimization.
They also mentioned how they crawl websites (just like Medium’s)”…looking for new or updated web pages. That means your older stories still provide a chance for you to talk to Google.
Although I think the story you’re currently reading may have done a more in depth discussion of this topic, I still encourage you to read the first story I wrote on the subject, mainly because I actually provide some helpful SCREEN SHOTS to direct you where to look.
