Columns

The Members' Desk

Expert columns written by S/ME members — the people who actually do the work, sharing what they know.

A column is an SEO + GEO win

Every column publishes as its own indexed, AI-readable page in the author's name — real, quotable expertise that helps them get found on Google and cited by AI answer engines. It's one more asset on top of a member's full S/ME presence (feature, profile, advert and Directory listing), all working together to grow their visibility.
