What We Learned
Monday: SEMrush talked about Evergreen content and how to create lasting content. Evergreen content is great for SEO because ranking takes time and evergreen content is more or less timeless. Look for relevant keywords and topics to your business, look at what currently ranks #1 and #2 for those keywords, and don’t forget to update your piece after publishing.
Tuesday: Moz walked us through what shifts in product demand mean for SEO. If your products’ demand has increased, manage temporary out-of-stock products and find opportunities to create new indexed pages. If demand has decreased, craft messaging for the moment.
