If you’ve ever poured hours into crafting a high-value guide only to see it buried in Google’s basement, this one’s for you. I wrote the Chiang Mai co-working space guide to help digital nomads find workspaces that are not only functional but actually worth recommending. But here’s what I didn’t expect: after a few SEO tweaks, link upgrades, and social shares, that post drove 300% more traffic in under 30 days.
I Picked the Right Co-Working Spaces (With a Twist)
Forget listing every workspace in Chiang Mai. I picked five that:
- Had consistently strong Wi-Fi
- Were photogenic and brand-aligned
- Had active social media accounts
- Offered flexible drop-in rates
- Were close to great food and transport
These weren’t just practical—they were highly shareable and linkable.I Picked the Right Co-Working Spaces (With a Twist)

I Rewrote My Headline for Humans and Google
Original: Best Co-Working Spots in Chiang Mai
Optimized: How I Boosted My Chiang Mai Blog Traffic by 300% with These 5 Co-Working Spaces
This wasn’t just a reword—it was a click magnet. Numbers, a result, and a promise in one line. If your headline doesn’t spark curiosity and deliver value, most people (and bots) won’t engage.
I Added Schema Markup to Speak Bot
I used Rank Math to add:
- Article schema (title, date, author)
- How-To steps (like my evaluation method)
- Publishing metadata
This made the post eligible for rich snippets, increasing visibility for searches like “Chiang Mai coworking blog.”
I Linked the Post from My Main Hub Page
I created a remote-work hub at: /remote-work-resources and linked to:
- This guide
- My VPN comparison
- My nomad email setup tutorial
Then, I linked back from this post to the hub. That internal link loop told Google: “This is part of a thematic cluster.” Ranking improved.
I Promoted It Where Nomads Actually Hang Out
No, not Reddit or bloated Facebook groups. Instead:
- Slack groups for writers and nomads
- Telegram channels focused on SE Asia
- Newsletter swaps with small travel bloggers
- LinkedIn with a story-first, no-hashtag format
Each outlet drove niche but high-quality traffic. Combined, they helped trigger indexing and keyword lift.
“If your best content isn’t being seen, you don’t need more hustle—you need a better map. This post was proof.”
Final Thought: Don’t Rely on Google Alone
SEO helped me get indexed, but the real magic came from intentional sharing, strong internal linking, and structured metadata. Don’t just create. Connect.
