Noticed something interesting:
In the past week, Google highlighted large sections from 3 different Firsto product pages.
I don’t think this is by accident.
Something is changing.

Small log from Firsto:
One project page got long-form highlights in Google today — not just keywords, but full sections (what it is, who it’s for, FAQ).
Feels like the page is being read, not just indexed.

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 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.
