Depending on how long you've been at Skool, you may or may not be aware of the Skool Discovery page. Maybe it's how you found this community. Let me know if so? The Discovery page is essentially an internal search engine for Skool. There are two ways to find your ideal community: 1) Plug a search term into the search box, such as 'Satanism and cream cakes'. 👀 Orrrr whatever floats your boat. 2) Click on one of the various categories that sit in a row beneath the search box. Each community has a Discovery page ranking - a number that you can see superimposed over your community image. Naturally, every creator wants their community to rank as highly as possible. So how do we: (1) Appear in Discovery in the first place? (2) Get our community to appear in search results? and (3) Get our community to rank higher IN those search results? 💥APPEARING ON THE DISCOVERY PAGE To do this, we need to get a few things in place as follows: ✅ about three community members, minimum ✅ a cover image for your community ✅ at least one image on your About page ✅ some About page text Here's how Skool itself words this: "Your group needs to meet a minimum threshold of members, posts, and activity to show in discovery. You also need a good group description, about page description, group cover image, and some photos/videos on your about page." Basically, Skool doesn't want to show your community to visitors until it's looking presentable. This makes sense for you too. Check that Skool has chosen the right category for your group - and if they haven't, drop their lovely people a friendly email to ask for it to be switched. 💥APPEARING IN SEARCH RESULTS So, once you're on Discovery, how can you ensure you show up when someone searches for your topic? The main thing that I've found is to include relevant keywords in your about page and group description. Just as with YouTube keywords, you want to make sure your copy flows well and naturally, and doesn't show signs of keyword stuffing.

Hello! I'm still looking around and figuring it all out - what one thing (or more than one) do you wish you'd known before making your community?
