Pro Tips & Insights
01
Compounding is critical. A community guide published in Week 02 ranks 3x higher in Week 13 than one published in Week 10 due to accumulated internal link equity and topical relevance.
02
Internal links are the 'PageRank' veins of a pSEO site for communities. An orphan page (zero inbound links from within the site) will never rank, regardless of content quality.
03
Keyword intent for community managers surpasses search volume. A keyword with 50 searches but high 'Conversion Intent' (e.g., 'best Discord bots for moderation') is 10x more valuable than a 5,000 search 'definition' term.
04
Consistency is a ranking signal for community platforms. Search engines learn your publishing cadence. Drip-feeding 10 community guides a week is often more effective than 100 on Day 01.
