Hab mich

- hier ein kleiner Guide, wo mir die KI geholfen hat, wie man seine Hive posts optimieren kann für Google Suche - natürlich will nicht jeder Nutzer das, aber für die Plattform an sich hilfreich - wir wollen ja mehr Nutzer, mehr Investoren und einen höheren Hive Kurs - das Thema wie Hive als Plattform besser ranked ist ne ganz andere Sache, aber da habe ich mich auch bereits mit beschäftigt!

Difficult topic as Hive as a platform needs improvement in general - but

Some tips for making your own content SEO optimized

We love longer content given we started more as a blogging platform that did not appreciate short content a lot -

it also important to create your own content in a way search engine ranks it better (here I talk about Google).

For SEO outside Hive your posts might perform when you follow certain steps - not sure everyone is aware of them. This is what Google might like at least. I also asked ChatGpt to support me here:

We want that our posts rank well on Hive itself but also get external search visibility

And in addition engage the crypto-savvy audience resulting in new Hive users / investors - agree?

However I do also understand that some users to NOT want to optimize this for web2 and search-engines of course :-)!

Hive SEO Checklist trial


1. Start with a strong, search-friendly title

  • What to do:

    • Put your main keyword (the one you wanted to be categoized in (e.g., “Blockchain Content Marketing” or “Crypto Investment Strategy”) early in the title.
    • Keep that title it under 60 characters if you want it to look clean in Google search results.
    • Make it intriguing enough to stand out in Hive feeds.

  • Why:

    • Hive users and reader skim titles quickly, and Google uses titles heavily for ranking.
    • A balance of curiosity + clarity works best.

2. Use proper Hive tags strategically

  • What to do:

    • Hive lets you add many tags (depending on UI) — use 5-7 relevant ones max.
    • Mix broad tags (hive, crypto, investment) with niche tags (contentmarketing, salesstrategy, web3growth).

  • Why:

    • As we all know Hive’s internal discovery relies heavily on tags.
    • Relevant tags boost cross-community visibility and earn more engagement.

3. Structure posts for readability

  • What to do:

    • Use H2/H3 headers for subtopics.
    • Break up paragraphs, add bullet points, and avoid walls of text.
    • Keep sentences crisp — Hive readers prefer scannable content :-)!.

  • Why:

    • Well-structured posts get longer on-page time, which improves visibility.
    • It signals quality both to Hive’s trending algorithm and external search engines.

4. Place keywords naturally (not stuffed)

  • What to do:

    • Include your target keyword(s) in the first 100 words of your post.
    • Sprinkle variations of it 2–4 times across the post.
    • Use related terms, not just exact matches — e.g., for “SaaS Sales Strategies,” also include “automation in sales” or “AI-driven lead scoring.”

  • Why:

    • Google and Hive readers alike favor natural writing.
    • Overstuffing keywords hurts credibility and ranking.

5. Use internal & external links smartly

  • What to do:

    • Link to your previous Hive posts where relevant (hence keep track of your own content is key).
    • Link to credible external sources to back up claims / messages.
    • Use descriptive anchor text, not “click here.”

  • Why:

    • Internal links keep users on your Hive profile longer → better engagement metrics.
    • External links boost authority in Google’s eyes.

6. Optimize images for SEO

  • What to do:

    • Use at least one image per section where possible (hard I know!).
    • Rename image files with keywords if possible (saas-sales-strategy.png instead of IMG_6978.png).
    • Always add alt text where Hive allows it.

  • Why:

    • Hive posts with images get more upvotes and shares.
    • Google Images can drive additional traffic.

7. Include a compelling intro and CTA

  • What to do:

    • The first 200 characters matter most — they’re used in Hive previews.
    • End with a clear call-to-action (“What’s your experience with…?”, “Drop your thoughts in the comments.”). It sounds boring but it helps also on LinkedIn

  • Why:

    • Hooks readers fast and drives engagement, which is rewarded in Hive’s ranking.

8. Cross-promote outside Hive

  • What to do:

    • Share your post on LinkedIn, Reddit, X/Twitter, and relevant Telegram/Discord groups.
    • Use the same keywords and tags when sharing externally.

  • Why:

    • Hive rewards posts that bring in external traffic.
    • Backlinks from other platforms improve Google rankings.
      We have great programs in place already with Hiveposh - just ask @x-rain @acidyo

9. Post timing & engagement boost

  • What to do:

    • Best times for Hive crypto audiences: Mon–Thu, early UTC mornings.
    • Engage with comments early — the algorithm favors active conversations.

  • Why:

    • Hive’s trending system partially measures early traction and comments.

10. Track and Refine

  • What to do:

    • Use PeakD or Ecency analytics to monitor views and engagement.
    • Test different headline formats, tag combinations, and posting times.

  • Why:

    • SEO on Hive is iterative — small tweaks lead to steady growth.
