Proof of Medium story indexing in search engines.

Before we get to the “how to” part of indexing your Medium story in major search engines, allow us to offer some proof first. The Medium story used in the illustrated content was published less than a day ago.

But getting your Medium story indexed in major search engines involves a lot more than just keyword placement and interest targeting. There are a few strategies to consider, but we will get to that in a bit.

Below you can see the indexed Medium story “Can You Use AI To Write Medium Articles?”. But it is also accepted in the medium publication called Bootcamp AKA, (UX Collective).

This only provides undeniable proof of the importance of your title (H1 Header). Because that is what shows in search results with Medium stories, along with the author's name.

For those of you who do not know about the UX Collective Medium publication, they have 459K followers! And the editors are Fabricio Teixeira and Caio Braga.

See, getting your work published with well-established Medium publications forms part of this strategy.

Or shall we say that all our Medium stories published with established Medium publishers are indexed in major search engines? This is also what brought us to the conclusion and obviously illustrated conclusion.

Now, to the right of the illustration above. You will also notice the “related keywords”, along with the “long-tail keywords”. This is obtained by using a browser extension that works with Google Chrome, and Firefox, called “Keywords Everywhere”.

Notice how all the related keywords directly relate to the Medium article content, indexed in search engines. But also check on the search volume, especially the United States search volume.

This particular article is in position two, but we are quite content with that. The important part is that this indexed Medium article yields potential growth.

Below is proof of exactly when this Medium story was published. While the Medium story you are reading at the moment is published the very next day!

However, this is a content marketing strategy, like a tool of sorts. And we all know that any tool only works as well as the person using it. The proof is real though as can be seen in the illustrated screenshots.

How well this will work for you depends entirely on you. That said, let’s dive into the content marketing strategy and cover the finer details.

Medium story indexing and the art of guidance.

What does this particular article offer? Yes, an answer to a question, concern, or topic that readers might be interested in. In this case, trust us when we say, people want to know about this!

There is quite a bit of concern when it comes to using AI writing software, and in most cases rightly so. Especially on Medium and with writing Medium stories.

This is why we decided to do the research and come up with a guide (Can You Use AI To Write Medium Articles?). All about using AI writing software, and not abusing it.

Offering some suggestions on how to maintain quality, and writer’s style while using AI writing software. While the “promptness” of the “answer” might also have played its part with search engines.

As can be seen, illustrated below, the primary question. With a direct and reassuring answer…YES! Also, notice how we decided to make use of questions as subtitles.

But please don’t everyone go and do this with all your Medium articles now. Don’t turn Medium into a questions-and-answer site, we already have Quora for that.

Also an outstanding site, by the way with over 700 Million monthly visits. Over 50% of these visits are from top-tier countries, just saying.

This is a content marketing strategy and should be used moderately, try to “read between the lines” and focus on the illustrated strategy. Not so much the words.

The strategy in a nutshell is to offer high-quality, guidance of nature addressing and solving a particular interest immediately. Can you use AI to write on Medium? Yes! Done, and curiosity created!

Use the subheadings from your Medium story as a “Table Of Contents” at the beginning of your Medium story. Because the first 2–4 lines of text usually form part of the Medium story meta description.

Include your target keywords in your Medium story subheadings because that way they are also automatically included in the Medium story meta description.

Combining this with including the target keywords in the medium story title or H1 header, just proved its obvious success.

Next, you want to pay attention to the first 2–3 lines of text with this particular indexed Medium story. As used in the illustrated screenshots.

“Are you allowed to use AI when writing Medium stories?

Yes, you are allowed to use AI-generated article-writing content on Medium, but there are rules. We will be sharing proof of our correspondence with Medium support regarding the use of AI content.

We also have a few suggestions to maintain quality, your writing style, and preserve your reader’s confidence in your content. These are really important facts to consider when using AI to write on Medium.”

The first four sentences under the primary topic, create curiosity (there are rules). There are some added attractions (proof of our correspondence with Medium support).

But, most importantly we offer a suggested solution (suggestions to maintain quality, your writing style, and preserve your reader’s confidence in your content). See how that worked out?

All major search engines appreciate quality.

You need to see a search engine as a business, always trying to offer its customers the best quality. So when someone searches Google for “Can I use AI to write medium articles”, guess where they land?

Yip, the same article that was published on Medium and in the Medium publication called Bootcamp less than 24 hours ago! Yes, although we have other Medium stories indexed in search engines.

Admittedly it does not always happen this fast, making this another content marketing strategy we stumbled across. This is what makes the “keep going” part of online marketing so interesting.

Your job as a content provider is to answer questions, offer solutions, provide guides, and give away free stuff.

As we have mentioned in several Medium stories, you want to get recognized as a problem solver, not a salesman.

We are, however, quite convinced that the guidance nature of the content and the suggested solution contributed largely to search engine preference.

A secret weapon to faster Medium story indexing.

Let us just kick down the door and say it out loud upon entry, “Medium publications”! Because this is your secret weapon/s with Medium story writing.

And we cannot place enough exclamation on the effectiveness of publishing with Medium publications.

You will also need another tool, or rather browser extension called “SEO Quake”. Keywords Everywhere and SEO Quake are excellent browser extensions and truly remarkable additions to our online toolbox.

As you can see with Keywords Everywhere below, this Medium publication has 42,700 organic traffic per month. Along with 21,560 keywords that Bootcamp UX Design ranks for.

The point of this strategy is not so much the use of the questions. But rather the ability to create curiosity with both search engines and readers.

But also getting your Medium story published in well-known Medium publications. Said publications are already ranked and recognized by search engines. All you’re doing is “joining the squadron”.

Our keyword tool provides many ways to find related, niche-relevant keywords. Just put in any keyword. Keysearch will return hundreds of related keywords, search volume, CPC And PPC data! — Source
