Content and brand
Evergreen content is content that stays relevant for months or years because it answers a question people keep asking — so it keeps delivering visits and enquiries.
Think explanations ("what is"), approach ("how does it work"), cost ("what does it cost") and comparisons. The opposite is news: one peak, then silence. Evergreen pages compound instead: today's traffic is the result of what you made over the past years.
Put the answer at the top in two or three quotable sentences, add your own numbers or examples, avoid years and "recently", and update the page twice a year. AI assistants cite this type of explanation far more often than news posts.
In practice
Judging it on the first week. Evergreen content builds over 6 to 12 months; look at the trend line and the number of search terms, not the first few days.
