A filterable table of bylines proves someone can write. This is Semrush-verified keyword velocity, position density, and AI citation data across 100+ articles and six independent publishers. The copy didn't just publish. It ranked — and on one domain, it kept earning AI citations after the publisher closed.
One article on an Authority Score 83 editorial network indexed 1,404 ranked keywords within its first month of publication. One article on an Authority Score 20 gardening domain reached 305 ranked keywords across five months — 61 net new positions per month, sustained from first index to peak. A third article on an Authority Score 40 outdoor publisher reached 570 ranked keywords in its first month. These are individual URL results, not domain aggregates.
The pattern across all three: the content architecture is the constant, domain authority is the multiplier. A high-authority domain amplifies the output in month one. A low-authority domain reveals whether the copy itself earns positions — because nothing else can explain a 10.5% top-3 keyword density rate on a domain in the lowest third of Semrush's Authority Score range.
Keyword velocity scales with domain authority — but the content architecture is what activates it. The figures below are per-URL results, each from a single article, verified by Semrush subfolder export.
These three figures come from three separate domains across three authority bands. The AS20 articles — Best Fertilizer for Apple Trees and Best Soil for Watermelon — peaked at 305 and 235 ranked keywords respectively. The fertilizer article put 32 of those 305 positions in the top three: a 10.5% top-3 density rate on a domain with Authority Score 20.
Every article below was sole-authored. Position data is from Semrush Domain Overview, subfolder view, at each article's peak performance month.
Article-level keyword velocity lives inside a broader domain performance story. Both primary domains below saw significant organic growth during the same period these articles were live — one a specialty retailer still active today, one a gardening publisher whose website went inactive in 2023 after the business closed. Four metrics, aligned across both domains.
Built for AI indexation, not just search rankings: Minnetonka Orchards closed as a business and the website has been inactive for over two years. Traditional organic rankings have gone to zero. As of March 2026, the domain still holds 1,100+ pages cited by ChatGPT and Google AI. Content built with semantic depth and answer-forward extractability was structured the same way AI models extract training signal — that is why the citations outlasted the rankings. The publisher closed. The content did not stop working.
The position density pattern holds across verticals because the underlying method does not change: identify the query intent precisely, answer it directly, extend the semantic coverage beyond what competitors cover, structure for extractability. The topic changes. The architecture does not.
The full copy portfolio — filterable by vertical, publisher, and title — is available on the Copy Portfolio page. The breakdown by topic: 115 Aquatics, 40 Gardening, 24 News, 20 Product Reviews, 17 App Reviews, 11 Travel, 11 Insurance, 9 Outdoors, 3 DIY.
Every article listed has a live URL. Every performance claim on this page is backed by SEMrush subfolder export data available upon request. The top-3 keyword counts come from Semrush Domain Overview position distribution screenshots, pinned to each article's peak performance month.
If keyword velocity, position density, and AI citation coverage are the metrics your content strategy isn't tracking yet, that is a conversation worth having before your next editorial decision.
