Creating content that performs today is good. Creating content that performs for years? That’s smart, and that’s the power of evergreen content. Evergreen content is your long game.
It’s the blog post that keeps showing up in search results, that resource your audience keeps coming back to, and that quiet engine driving consistent traffic, leads, and sales. But most businesses throw their energy into trending topics and wonder why their marketing feels like a hamster wheel.
It’s time to get off the wheel. Here’s how to build an evergreen content strategy that pays off for the long haul.
Step 1: Know What Questions Never Expire
Start by identifying the problems your audience will always have. Not what’s hot this month—what keeps them up at night year after year. “How to write a business plan,” “Ways to increase website traffic,” or “Tips for customer retention” are examples of evergreen content topics because they stay relevant no matter the latest trend. And you can always nurture your audience with these topics. (Learn how to include this in your automated email sequences).
Step 2: Write Like It’s Your Signature Piece
Evergreen content isn’t filler. Treat each piece like a cornerstone of your brand. Go deep, be generous, and answer the full scope of the question. When your content becomes the go-to answer, Google notices—and so does your audience.
Step 3: Optimize and Reoptimize
Strong SEO is the lifeline of your evergreen content strategy. Use relevant keywords, map out what your audience wants to read, build internal links, and structure your content for readability. But don’t stop there. Check in quarterly. Refresh data, tweak headlines, and add updated examples. Evergreen doesn’t mean “set it and forget it”—it means “set it, and keep it sharp.”
Step 4: Build Distribution into Your Systems
At The Growth Amplifier, we believe automation is key. Schedule recurring shares of your best evergreen content across channels and other partner businesses, include it in nurture sequences, and make it part of your sales toolkit. Your content should be working even when you’re not.
