Id have to proudly chime in here and say that if you Google 'Gallow Road goods yard' that a post i made about Scarborough railway station comes up on P1 of search.
Probably the more obscure the subject matter, the likely it is to be found on search.
If one of the experts here on SEO was to write a post on how to make a post more searchable, it would help greatly to improve visibility for our posts.
Best wishes
Hey. Thank you for your comment. I tried to verify your P1, but can't. In my results (I am logged in = I receive personalised results [but have no relation to this place or something in this area]) I have Wikipedia, travel advisors and so on at the first page. I assume you have this result, because Google knows a/your relation to this place/article. I assume as soon as you log out, you would see different results.
Yes, the more obscure or niche a topic is, the better the chances. I don't would call myself a SEO expert, but worked at this a few years ago. So what I want to say: for sure you could try the classical SEO ways: the right keywords in the right amount, good structuring, bla bla bla. But lastly SEO is a constant optimization/editing until you are satisfied with your results and controlling after that but I am not sure how much this work is worthy. For a own website with ongoing results yes, okay. But for Hive? A thing of own opinion is it's worthy. When I would do this kind of work, I would do it for my own website. But not invest all this time for a blog who can be "destroyed" by some idiots anytime. (Just a meaning about that.)
Hive a great day!
Like @powerpaul, I don't see your Scarborough Railway Station page in normal search results. At least not in the first 5 pages of results. However, it did show as the 3rd result on page 3 when I did an incognito search. Note that based on the results from my first attempt, I changed the search to Gallows Close goods yard.
This aligns with something I have noticed during my couple of years playing with this. And it's a loose observation rather than a scientific study. But it seems that Google started indexing Steemit quite thoroughly. Then the indexing seems to have declined. Which is in keeping with the AI analysis in the original post.

P.S. I do intend to write some SEO tips as part of the documentation for my project.
