Thanks for the work you’re doing on this, Dan. TheShortcut.com has gone from 400 clicks from Google daily to 4,000 daily. Looking forward to more SEO optimizations. 🙌
Hi Bailey, I launched my Substack at the beginning of January, having blogged for years first at Wordpress and then with Wix, where I felt I had to spend more time on SEO than writing, and pinging every new post. I really appreciate how different the experience of writing is with Substack. I have no great desire to get deeply involved in SEO again, but am delighted to learn that we can tweak how our post title and blurb show up in searches, which I will now go and learn how to do. Keep up the great work! 💕

Tedious SEO plugin management and fighting costly upgrade options that should have been included for free is one of the reasons I migrated 2 years of content to Substack this month. Thank you to the SEO team for helping me to focus instead on my writing.

Going to game the system with top SEO terms from now on - renaming all my articles’ SEO titles and descriptions to *checks notes* “facebook” and “youtube”. Hope the servers are ready for all this traffic!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Substack!!!!! This continuous improvement is impressive! Small things like this are what set you apart! You listen to feedback and you implement new items! Long live the Substack! Now, it we can get to where we can add tags to posts and then have a way to display all the tags either on the home page or a separate page dedicated to tags/categories then we will be seriously packing a punch!!!!!!!

Love this!
Pro tips for those that want to dive in deeper:
• Add your Substack domain to Google Search Console so you can see the details behind what Google searches are leading people to your Substack
• you can add your sitemap to Google Search Console with just your Substack domain and “/sitemap.xml”
Love hearing that Substack is cognizant of and working on SEO. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the improvements with SEO! This is welcome news for us all.
This is really good :)
Your commitment to fine tuning the platform makes me a better writer! Every day I look forward to writing knowing Substack is behind me. Thank you!
This is awesome! I’ll need to play around with SEO title and description for better customization. Thanks Substack 🙏
