Skool as Social Experiment: Turns Out My Posts Are Ranking on Google

🔥

Okay so yeah… I’ve not really been updating in here, not because anything’s gone wrong or dramatic, but just because life’s been lifeling a bit, you know when it just does that and you’re like ok cool, here we are then.

BUT. I found something today and it made me stop mid-scroll, mid-coffee, mid-

“I’ll just check one thing”, and I was like… ohhhh hang on a minute.

So quick-ish update on my little Skool-as-social experiment. If you didn’t know already (or forgot, which is totally fair), this space is public. Like properly public. Anyone can see what’s going on without joining.

You only need to join if you want notifications or if you actually want to get involved and not just lurk from the bushes.

And part of my longer-term thinking with this has always been… if it’s public, surely it’ll get indexed on Google, right?

That was the theory anyway. No huge expectations, just a “let’s see what happens” kinda vibe.

Well. Today I checked.

And YUP/YES/WOOP my posts are showing on Google

This Skool community social thing (aka owned socials, aka this weird little experiment of mine) is showing on Google.

Which basically means this space isn’t just living inside Skool anymore.

It’s living out there. Being found. Being indexed. Existing beyond the app.

So obviously my brain immediately went into curious mode (which, let’s be honest, is both my superpower and my downfall).

I’m now thinking about testing SEO-style headlines a bit more intentionally.

Seeing what actually gets picked up. What gets searched. What lands. What doesn’t. I don’t fully know how yet, so please don’t ask me for a master plan, because there isn’t one. It’s literally just part of the experiment.

And honestly… for $9 a month, this gives me a space to share things I’m not sharing in my paid communities, because the vibes are different.

The intention is different. The energy is different. This feels more like a thinking-out-loud, testing, playing, observing kind of space.

So yeah. Can I get a little woop woop for that?

Is this something you’d ever consider trying?

Are you secretly waiting for me to bring back some data before you decide?

What do you actually think of this idea?

Am I a bit mad? PROBS

Do I think this is a long-term thing rather than a quick win? Definitely.

Also… note to self (and public accountability because why not): I need to actually show up in here more again.

Less lurking. More posting. More testing. More “let’s see what happens”.

Anyway. That’s the update.

Brain dump complete.
