How does it work?

  1. 1. Choose platforms your audience reads

    Pick Medium, Substack, LinkedIn or a trade publication your buyers already read; Medium ranks among top-cited domains for AI Overviews and Gemini.

  2. 2. Write original pieces under your name

    Bring an expert opinion, data or experience not already on your site, with your real byline and a short bio.

  3. 3. Republish with a canonical link

    For a copy of your own post on Medium, use Stories > Import a story; it adds a canonical link and the original date.

  4. 4. Don't publish just to borrow rankings

    Guest posts with keyword-rich links are link spam, and content placed mainly to use a host site's ranking is site reputation abuse.

  5. 5. Ask partners to block indexing of copies

    When a trade site republishes your article, Google recommends the partner block indexing of the copy; a canonical tag alone isn't recommended.

  6. 6. Check indexing and AI citations

    Search an exact sentence in Google to see which copy shows, then run your prompts to see which version AI tools cite.
