SEOLeverage - The SEO Podcast for Online Business Owners


Oct 15, 2021

Is it really necessary to publish or do an update to your blog posts on a weekly basis? In this episode of SEO Leverage Podcast, Gert outlines how to determine when to refresh or prune your already published articles. If your concern is to drive more traffic to your website by publishing more often, that is wrong. In fact, Google doesn't really care about frequency, it cares more about what makes users happy or how relevant the article is.  

 

Podcast Highlights:

  • Your kind of industry e.g. technology-related industries
  • What articles are losing traction?
