The SEO evergreen<\/strong> is a must for those looking to maintain steady traffic. If you ask me what kind of SEO your business needs<\/strong>unless it is seasonal, I will always tell you to look for SEO evergreen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translated as \"evergreen SEO\" we are talking about an type of SEO that does not expire<\/strong> or at least stays in perfect condition for a longer period of time. Of course, this is not always the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both technically and historically, there are circumstances that can make something that, at first sight, seems not to be outdated, end up being so. In the end we are talking about SEO content<\/strong><\/a>which is only part of the job. The technical part of a website<\/strong> has an equally significant influence on the positioning of a content<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is to say, even if in your SEO content strategy<\/strong><\/a> prioritise the evergreen content<\/strong>You will need everything else to work in order to be positioned on an ongoing basis. The SEO evergreen<\/strong> does not work miracles, but it is about the More profitable SEO at a business level<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let's start at the beginning before we look at advantages and disadvantages, as well as how we can combine it with others types of SEO<\/strong>. If you use it well, the SEO evergreen<\/strong> can become your main ally for making your positioning efforts profitable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is evergreen SEO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"SEO<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, the first thing we need to talk about is what is evergreen SEO<\/strong>by giving a few examples. Evergreen SEO is content that has no shelf life.<\/strong>. In other words, what counts remains unchanged (more or less) over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is much easier to understand if we look at it with examples<\/strong>. For example, if you're talking about computers, an article talking about hardware components would be SEO evergreen<\/strong>. However, if we are talking about the best computers, it would not be because new models are continually coming out that may be better than the ones we have written about in the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this sense, the best historical novels, if they could be considered SEO evergreen<\/strong>Even if new novels come out every day, this would not be the case in the technology sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing with novels, if we had a bookshop we might also want to position the best novels to give as Christmas presents. In this case, it would not be evergreen either, because we are circumscribing the content to a specific moment: Christmas. It would be evergreen, however, if we were to stick to \"the best novels to give as presents\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I spoke in the introduction that there are historical circumstances that affect evergreen content<\/strong>We can easily see it here. For example, if one of the novels we have added goes out of print or a new revised edition is released. The content would still be evergreen, but it would no longer function as such because it has become obsolete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the content initially conceived as evergreen will not always be evergreen, but the idea is to approach it in a way that can last as long as possible without needing changes or upgrades<\/strong>. That is, once it is done, it should work on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is obviously more cost-effective than having to keep updating. For example, the best computers in May 2023 will only work for us in May 2023, by June or July we will need new content or to update existing content. This means more workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages of using evergreen SEO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"man<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The fundamental advantage of using SEO evergreen<\/strong> is that you will be able to positioning content<\/strong> throughout the year<\/strong>. In other words, it will be a constant source of traffic. To achieve this, the content must be well thought out, comprehensive and respond correctly to the searcher's intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In such cases, we can be in pole position for years<\/strong>. In my work as a SEO<\/strong>I have articles that have been in first position for more than five years, even with an acceptable search volume and without having to make changes. Five years is quite a long time and it is not usual, normally it will have to be updated, especially if there is a lot of competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another clear advantage is that it helps to generate backlinks.<\/a><\/strong> Positioned content that does not expire is much more likely to be linked to and help us to improve our page authority<\/a><\/strong> and domain<\/strong>. This, in turn, helps us to hold the position<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, it also helps to create internal linking strategies<\/strong> in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being positioned all year round, not only facilitates a increased traffic<\/strong>but also leads<\/em><\/strong>either through subscriptions, requests for quotations, sales, etc. In this sense, if we have a constant traffic, it can be a perfect place to make CRO experiments<\/strong> with forms, buttons, banners, etc., and thus check what works best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Disadvantages of using evergreen SEO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Thumbs<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The main drawback of the SEO evergreen<\/strong> is that it does not work for all types of content<\/strong>. For example, it does not work for news, product listings or other categories where the date is relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equally, if your business is mainly seasonal, it may not be the SEO that suits you best. For example, in toys with sales focused on Christmas or beach products. In those cases it will give better results than others. types of SEO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the date of an article<\/strong> is also taken into account in SEO<\/strong>. This does not mean that an older article cannot rank, but between two articles of similar quality, in some cases the newer one is favoured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dedicating our efforts to SEO evergreen<\/strong>can also cause us to lose opportunities for seasonal or occasional traffic. Sometimes, there are keywords that have much more seasonal or occasional traffic than others. evergreen<\/strong>and therefore not using them means missed opportunities for traffic and conversion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using evergreen SEO or seasonal SEO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"SEO<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We can combine both types of SEO<\/strong>no problem. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that well done, the Seasonal SEO<\/strong> does not cease to be SEO evergreen <\/strong>which resumes its position at a certain time of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if we want to position year-end getaways, whenever the date approaches, we will see how traffic multiplies, with much higher figures than other similar evergreen keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, it should be noted that this type of keyword, even if the high search volumes disappear for part of the year, does not end up disappearing. This means that it will continue to bring in traffic more gradually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
