1. What Is Medium?

Medium is an online publishing platform where anyone can write articles.

You don’t need:

  • Hosting

  • Technical SEO knowledge

  • Website setup

You just:

  • Create an account

  • Write an article

  • Publish

Medium already has millions of readers, strong authority, and Google trust.

2. What Does “Ranking Faster” Mean?

Ranking faster means:

  • Your article appears on Google search results very quickly

  • Sometimes within minutes

  • Sometimes within 24–72 hours

For new blogs:

  • Indexing may take weeks

  • Ranking may take months

Medium skips most of that waiting time.

3. Domain Authority: Medium’s Biggest Power

What is Domain Authority (DA)?

Domain Authority means:

How strong and trusted a website is in Google’s eyes

Medium has:

  • Very high domain authority

  • Thousands of high-quality backlinks

  • Years of clean content history

Why this matters

When you publish on Medium:

  • Google already trusts the domain

  • Google does not treat your article as “unknown”

This gives your content a head start.

4. Google’s Trust in Medium

Google loves websites that:

  • Publish helpful content

  • Have low spam

  • Provide good user experience

Medium checks all these boxes.

Google knows:

  • Medium articles are mostly informational

  • Medium controls spam better than random blogs

So Google is less risky indexing and ranking Medium content.

5. Medium’s Built-in SEO Structure

Medium is SEO-optimized by default.

You don’t need plugins or settings.

Medium automatically provides:

  • Clean URLs

  • Proper H1, H2, H3 structure

  • Mobile-friendly design

  • Fast page speed

  • Secure HTTPS

Many beginners break SEO unknowingly on WordPress.
Medium removes that risk.

6. Fast Indexing: How Google Finds Medium So Quickly

Google crawls Medium very frequently.

Why?

  • Medium publishes thousands of articles daily

  • Google bots visit Medium constantly

So when you publish:

  • Google finds your article quickly

  • Indexing happens faster than normal blogs

This is a huge advantage.

7. User Engagement Signals on Medium

Google watches how users behave.

Medium performs well because:

  • People read longer

  • Clean distraction-free layout

  • Easy reading experience

Good signals include:

  • Time spent on page

  • Scroll depth

  • Low bounce rate

These signals help rankings.

8. Content Quality Control on Medium

Medium:

  • Promotes useful content

  • Limits spammy practices

  • Removes low-quality posts

Because of this:

  • Overall content quality stays high

  • Google sees Medium as a quality platform

Even an average article on Medium can outperform a poorly optimized blog post.

9. Medium vs New Blog: A Real Comparison

New Blog:

  • Low authority

  • No backlinks

  • Slow indexing

  • SEO mistakes common

Medium:

  • High authority

  • Built-in trust

  • Fast indexing

  • Clean SEO setup

That’s why Medium often wins early.

10. Real-Life Story: How a Beginner Ranked in 24 Hours

A beginner writer published:

“How to Learn Freelancing in India”

  • No backlinks

  • No followers

  • Simple writing

Within 24 hours:

  • Indexed on Google

  • Ranking on page 2

Why?

  • Medium authority

  • Clear topic

  • Beginner-friendly content

The same article on a new blog:

  • Was not indexed for 10 days

This is real experience, not theory.

11. Common SEO Mistakes Medium Avoids

Medium protects beginners from:

  • Keyword stuffing

  • Broken URLs

  • Slow hosting

  • Bad mobile design

  • Technical SEO errors

This alone improves ranking chances.

12. Is Medium Better Than Your Own Blog?

Short answer: No — but yes (at the start)

Medium is great for:

  • Beginners

  • Testing topics

  • Building authority

  • Fast visibility

Your own blog is better for:

  • Long-term income

  • Full control

  • Branding

Smart strategy:

  • Start with Medium

  • Learn SEO

  • Move to your own blog later

13. When Medium Articles Do NOT Rank

Medium is powerful, but not magic.

Your article may fail if:

  • Content is copied

  • Topic has heavy competition

  • Article has no real value

  • Clickbait without depth

Medium boosts good content, not bad content.

14. FAQs

Q1: Can Medium replace a website?

No. Medium is a platform, not your property.

Q2: Is Medium SEO beginner-friendly?

Yes, very beginner-friendly.

Q3: Can I earn money from Medium?

Yes, through Medium Partner Program.

Q4: Should I post the same article on my blog and Medium?

No. That causes duplicate content.

Q5: Is Medium good for long articles?

Yes. Long, valuable articles perform best.

15. Conclusion

Medium articles rank faster on Google because of:

  • High domain authority

  • Google trust

  • Fast indexing

  • Clean SEO structure

  • Strong user engagement

Medium removes technical SEO stress and lets beginners focus on content quality.

If you are starting your SEO journey:

  • Medium is a powerful learning ground

  • A smart stepping stone

  • A visibility booster

But remember:

Content quality is king — even on Medium

Write helpful, clear, honest content — and Medium will work with you, not against you.
