Questions about Medium
Are Medium links dofollow?
No. Medium marks its links rel="nofollow", so they pass little ranking value. They still bring visitors and help show your business is real.
Is Medium free?
Medium has a free plan and paid upgrades. Check what the free listing includes before you start: on some sites the website link comes with a paid plan.
How much work does a listing on Medium take?
A full profile with screenshots or a verification step: about an hour. How long approval takes is up to Medium: many sites review a listing before it goes live.
Plan it, then tick it off.
