Yeah, I think Hive needs more SEO focused posts. And more articles like this are needed for the community to get better informed. SEO is an important marketing step. If most content creators give attention to SEO, then Hive would easily rank.
About the short URLs, there’s a trick I do sometimes to make it possible on my personal blog. This could work on Hive as well. You can make the title of your post “SEO tips,” then after posting, you can simply rename it to the current name.
That way you can retain the name of your article, but the url will be shorter. Neil Patel does something similar for his articles on his blog. And I think it is worth it.
BTW I like the template you shared, I’d use it on my next post on Hive.
That's a nice tip - I will edit the section on titles to include.
Thanks for the feedback :D
