How it works:

1) Target

We're blurring the lines and empowering writers to think content creation and distribution at the same time. The tags of your post will surface suggested Facebook & Twitter accounts to link to your content; edit the tags to optimize results article tags. For each post, select 2-5 discovered accounts that align with your editorial identity:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Fmedia.forumbee.com%2Fi%2F28a86e26-6688-4a5b-bae8-2b851b21f455%2F547.png&ho=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com&s=184&h=1b6bc871b691d0225b0549130f2cde2fda636ebdfebcd92177c4343924255cba&size=980x&c=3045708503 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Fmedia.forumbee.com%252Fi%252F28a86e26-6688-4a5b-bae8-2b851b21f455%252F547.png%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com%26s%3D184%26h%3D1b6bc871b691d0225b0549130f2cde2fda636ebdfebcd92177c4343924255cba%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3045708503%22%7D" caption="" pin_description="" image-library="0" expand=1 photo_credit=""]

Pro tip #1: Instead of always going for the big names, be strategic and opt for lesser-known pages with solid fan bases. This increases the likelihood of building a content-sharing relationship.

Pro tip #2: To further attract attention and promote a Facebook page in your post's comments, check off 'Promote in comments' once you select a target account in Discovery search. Note: You can select only one account per post:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Fmedia.forumbee.com%2Fi%2Fb62a33e9-6c05-43c1-85ec-dfe8ab587ee8%2F547.png&ho=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com&s=788&h=f1f5078d414eda20328aa70dbbfbe526ed032292e12614de226805f68b3fffa1&size=980x&c=1793660095 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Fmedia.forumbee.com%252Fi%252Fb62a33e9-6c05-43c1-85ec-dfe8ab587ee8%252F547.png%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com%26s%3D788%26h%3Df1f5078d414eda20328aa70dbbfbe526ed032292e12614de226805f68b3fffa1%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1793660095%22%7D" caption="" pin_description="" image-library="0" expand=1 photo_credit=""]

2) Connect

Social Outreach

Let account owners know your content exists and spark a relationship by sending subtle social pings in the form of an automatic 'like' of their recent post and/or directly emailing potential partners using built-in functionality.

Before you send social pings, you can easily choose to view which post the platform will like:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Fmedia.forumbee.com%2Fi%2F04cad9fe-62ca-4747-bc41-b4d3e30c23f3%2F547.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com&s=738&h=54e09d74c4043e2f1d5d0ba99266f10dad1fb71368b87848ad32cb31e4d25506&size=980x&c=2329752959 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Fmedia.forumbee.com%252Fi%252F04cad9fe-62ca-4747-bc41-b4d3e30c23f3%252F547.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com%26s%3D738%26h%3D54e09d74c4043e2f1d5d0ba99266f10dad1fb71368b87848ad32cb31e4d25506%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2329752959%22%7D" caption="" pin_description="" image-library="0" expand=1 photo_credit=""]

The result of sending a social ping:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Fmedia.forumbee.com%2Fi%2F52863410-8213-4f9d-a074-24ccc84d75d0%2F547.png&ho=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com&s=268&h=9bce63bc1c15f2afdc22aedf8f1e82bec85ad29e4f55be8a6e74cad223ed3650&size=980x&c=3395786150 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Fmedia.forumbee.com%252Fi%252F52863410-8213-4f9d-a074-24ccc84d75d0%252F547.png%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com%26s%3D268%26h%3D9bce63bc1c15f2afdc22aedf8f1e82bec85ad29e4f55be8a6e74cad223ed3650%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3395786150%22%7D" caption="" pin_description="" image-library="0" expand=1 photo_credit=""]

If you opted to promote a target account in your post comments, here's how it looks on Facebook once the ping is sent:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Fmedia.forumbee.com%2Fi%2Fb28cefa2-cb99-4baa-a86c-3d4267f06127%2F547.png&ho=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com&s=966&h=86f8c1b3d8cb0b7596a977efd2e987c7af2b34475c2ca626059de5d4eebd8d81&size=980x&c=41407779 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Fmedia.forumbee.com%252Fi%252Fb28cefa2-cb99-4baa-a86c-3d4267f06127%252F547.png%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com%26s%3D966%26h%3D86f8c1b3d8cb0b7596a977efd2e987c7af2b34475c2ca626059de5d4eebd8d81%26size%3D980x%26c%3D41407779%22%7D" caption="" pin_description="" image-library="0" expand=1 photo_credit=""]

Email Outreach

Don't feel restricted to just using the pings sent through Discovery. Switch to email outreach drafts, where email functionality is built into the workflow. RebelMouse automatically pulls in email addresses of account owners and template language so you can easily message them, say you love their page, and indicate you have great stories for their fans:

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Fmedia.forumbee.com%2Fi%2Ff16d8120-ed29-4bff-9b51-e7eb0236571b%2F547.png&ho=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com&s=944&h=117db61fe446c8f647d924e1cf34933c484008c29dd0537e0f298f5e369e5d45&size=980x&c=3138574794 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Fmedia.forumbee.com%252Fi%252Ff16d8120-ed29-4bff-9b51-e7eb0236571b%252F547.png%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com%26s%3D944%26h%3D117db61fe446c8f647d924e1cf34933c484008c29dd0537e0f298f5e369e5d45%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3138574794%22%7D" caption="" pin_description="" image-library="0" expand=1 photo_credit=""]

3) Optimize

At RebelMouse, we truly believe that the life of a story begins after publish. You can optimize your content at anytime + strategically modify tags, link more social accounts, and continue outreach efforts:

The RebelMouse Approach to SEO

search engine optimization

An SEO Strategy That Wins With Every Publish

How exactly Google determines search ranking largely remains a mystery for publishers, but what we do know is that the search engine continuously rolls out updates to its algorithm. And while sometimes these updates are small and nearly unnoticeable, other times they result in massive changes around the way Google crawls content, often disrupting the rankings of webpages all across the globe.

With each one of these algorithm changes comes a new approach to search strategy. It's a lot to keep up with in a competitive digital landscape. Publishers are already burdened with the task of creating high-performing quality content that's easy to find on Google and, in turn, easily shared across social. It's a job that can't be solved with advertising dollars either. It's estimated that nearly 80% of users disregard paid search results. Pair this with the fact that 93% of all online experiences begin with a search query and you're left with the realization that it's never been more important to prioritize search engine optimization.

The good news is that RebelMouse has a unique approach to SEO that leverages the tools available to us from the open web alongside our proprietary technology that enables users to win key phrases with every publish. The best part? The platform is designed to empower the people who live closest to content: writers and editors. Here's how it works.

Google’s Page Experience Update Launches for Desktop in February 2022

core web vitals

Google’s page experience signals will officially roll out as a search-ranking factor for desktop in February 2022. The launch marks the culmination of a journey that began in May 2020 when Google first let the world know that its Core Web Vitals would become the new benchmark for measuring a site's performance in its search results. Six months later, Google announced that its page experience signals for mobile would officially roll out and begin impacting search rankings in May 2021. The final rollout wasn't completed until August 2021.

According to Google’s desktop announcement, the same three Core Web Vitals metrics — LCP, FID, and CLS, — and their associated thresholds will apply to desktop ranking. The other page experience signals, including HTTPS compliance, will remain the same. The mobile-friendliness signal will not be a ranking for desktop as expected. Click here for full definitions of all of Google’s page experience signals.

An Important Note on Site Quality From Google’s Search Expert

An Important Note on Site Quality From Google’s Search Expert

search engine optimization

Do you ever wonder if a few typos can impact your site’s search performance? According to Google’s Search Advocate John Mueller, it takes more than just a few grammatical missteps for Google’s crawler to determine your site’s quality.

During a New Year’s Eve Office Hours hangout, Mueller said that if certain portions of a website are deemed low quality, it can negatively impact the site’s search ranking overall. A good example of this is a site that has different language versions within the same domain. If the site has a French-language version that is made up of quality content, but the English translation isn’t up to the same standard, the ranking of the French version of the site could be negatively impacted.
