What Is Evergreen Content? How To Create Content That Lasts

Some things are gone before you know it. Things like planking or the Harlem Shake.

On the other hand, other things refuse to fade away. In the marketing universe, we refer to this type of relevant material as evergreen content. And SEMrush is sharing all we need to know to create this lush, lasting content.

Evergreen content is based on topics that people are constantly searching. They exist through the ups and downs of more seasonal trends such as holiday-specific content, product releases, and news articles. If the interest never wanes, then it’s evergreen.

It’s great for SEO because ranking takes time and evergreen content is more or less timeless. It can afford the time it takes for higher SERP rankings because the content doesn’t go out of style. 

Pick a topic relevant to your business and look into keywords surrounding the topic. How do those keywords or phrases trend? Dig deep from broader topics until you’ve found something more specific you can cover.

Take a look at what ranks #1 and #2 for the keywords you’re targeting. Your content needs to be at least as good as these pieces of content if you want your own content featured there instead. And once you’ve published your content – promote, promote, promote!

Though set up for the long haul, Evergreen Content isn’t a write it and forget it piece. Your content will need updating! Although the main idea behind the content will stay relevant, details in your post can easily become outdated. Think dates, statistics, or even quotes. If your piece of content is about the cost of housing in a particular city neighborhood, the subject may always stay relevant, but the figures you use probably won’t.

Start writing your own evergreen content, and read some more tips on the topic from SEMrush.
