A launch platform is not a “submit once and done” product.

User submissions are just the starting point.

The hard part is ongoing curation and updates.

I added alternatives pages to Firsto ~1 month ago.
Only now am I seeing some SEO signals

Patience > hacks.

Small follow-up from yesterday.

We pushed 8 products live on Firsto today.
All of them showed up in Google within ~4 hours.
4 already have passage highlights.

Not about rankings.
Just Google understanding the product really fast.

Small thing I noticed today.

A couple of products we launched on Firsto showed up in Google within hours.

With passage highlights.

Not about fast rankings.
Just Google understanding what the product is.

Ahrefs says I'm getting 14k visits from a single keyword.

GSC says… literally 15.

What??

Where’s the traffic going?
