SEO machine: how to create content that consistently attracts traffic

In a world where thousands of new articles are published every day, getting a steady flow of traffic is a real victory. We're not talking about momentary bursts of interest, but about long-term results. Content that consistently works for you is the foundation of the SEO machine. In this article we will tell you how to create just such content: "evergreen", conversion, useful and interesting. There will be a lot of practice, examples and tricks from the Kakadu Studio team.

Principles of evergreen content

Evergreen content is a long-lasting content. It stays relevant, consistently brings traffic and helps in promotion without constant investments in advertising.

That's what sets it apart:

Timeless relevance

Such articles don't lose their meaning after a week. Examples:

• "How to speed up a website on WordPress"
  
• "Setting up Google Analytics for beginners"
  
• "Proven ways to protect your website from hacking"
  

Practical use

Each paragraph should carry a specific benefit - tips, instructions, links to services, step-by-step actions.

Search potential

Evergreen topics most often match popular queries. Use Wordstat, Serpstat, Ahrefs to understand what is really searched for.

Depth of disclosure

Don't leave the reader with questions. Show that you are an expert. Ideally, the person should save the article to their bookmarks.

Visual comfort

Even a brilliant text will not be read if it is a "sheet". Use subheadings, lists, illustrations, quotations and highlights.

Optimisation of articles for search queries

Content without SEO is like a car without fuel. To get your text to the top of Google, you need proper technical optimisation.

Key Steps:

• Keyword selection. Choose a main keyword and 5-7 additional keys. Don't forget the questions from People Also Ask.
  
• H1-H3 Optimisation. Structure is important: H1 - title of the article, H2 - main sections, H3 - clarifications.
  
• Alt tags for images. Don't forget SEO graphics - images are indexed too.
  
• Internal re-linking. Link articles to each other. This improves behavioural factors.
  
• CNC (human-readable URLs). Example: /kak-sozdat-evergreen-kontent instead of /page?id=254.
  

💡 Tip from Kakadu: Make articles not only for robots. Write the text as if you were explaining it to a friend - simple, clear, with examples.

How to update your content so it doesn't lose positions

Search engines love live content. Even the best article without updates loses position over time. Therefore, it is important to introduce regular content audits.

What you can do:

• Update the publication date. Only if new information has actually been added.
  
• Update the facts. References to outdated services, irrelevant examples - all this kills credibility.
  
• Add media content. Videos, infographics, GIFs - increase engagement.
  
• Expand semantics. Add phrases that become popular later (e.g. "AI text generator" in 2023+).
  
• Rewrite the CTA. The call to action should match the company's current offerings.
  

How to use analytics to develop your SEO machine

Go beyond creating and updating content. Connect analytics:

• Google Search Console will tell you what queries are being used to find the article.
  
• Hotjar or Yandex Metrica will show you where users are "getting lost".
  
• Ahrefs/Semrush - will help you understand what articles your competitors are bringing in and what keys they are bidding on.
  

Use this data to refine headings, structure, and new themes.

The Kakadu team advises: combining Evergreen and expertise

At Kakadu, we don't just write articles - we build a strategy. Evergreen is the foundation, but content only becomes an "SEO machine" if it's backed by real expertise, quality design and constant attention.

What we recommend:

• Combine evergreen articles with expert reviews.
  
• Create authored content that your competitors don't have.
  
• Work on each text as a mini-product.
  
• Use neural networks to analyse but not to generate.
  

The secret of stable traffic is not magic, but systematic work. Evergreen content + competent SEO + regular updates = your own SEO machine that will work even when you are resting.
