About

Why this site exists

Instagram is full of good SEO advice. Finding it again a month later is the hard part. SEO Curated fixes that: the best tips, summarized, embedded, and filed where search can find them.

The gap

Top SEO experts post their best tips as Reels and carousels. Instagram has no index, no topic organization, and no way to ask what one expert said about one topic this year. A Reel from three weeks ago is effectively lost. No editorial site turned this stream into structured, searchable pages. So we built one.

How curation works

1. Watch. Every week we read the newest posts from the SEO experts worth following.

2. Pick. We choose five to seven tips that are actionable, specific, and true. Promos, memes, and vague advice do not make the cut.

3. Verify. Every post is confirmed on Instagram before publication, with its date and URL recorded.

4. Summarize. Each tip is rewritten in our own words. We never copy captions, and we never screenshot posts.

5. Embed and link. The original post is embedded with Instagram's official embed code and linked, so the creator gets the credit and the traffic.

6. Ask permission. We request permission from every featured creator and keep a permission log. Any creator can ask for a takedown at any time.

Who runs it

David Christopher Lee, Editor in Chief of David's Guide and Chief Digital Officer of Top Doctor Magazine. He runs davidsguide.com, thebiohack.org, celebritiesnetworth.org, and dclee.net, and he publishes his own Search Console numbers every month. On David's Guide, rewriting pages to answer the search question first moved clicks up 78%, from 151 to 269, and average position from 28.1 to 11.9.

Independence

Most big SEO sites are owned by tool companies now. Search Engine Land and Backlinko are Semrush-owned, Moz is owned by Ziff Davis. SEO Curated is independent, with no tool to sell. That is a real advantage, and we intend to keep it.

The 90-day test. This site starts as a test: four weekly roundups and two original-data pieces, then we judge by list growth, indexed roundup pages ranking for long-tail queries, and at least one monetization channel live. If it works, it grows. If it does not, we say so.
