Escape the Content Treadmill

Hey folks πŸ‘‹ it’s Emily here from ContentUK

In this newsletter we’ve got:

  • Details of our next meetup πŸŽ‰
  • Other upcoming events πŸ“†
  • Jobs 🀝
  • And first, a short update from me πŸ‘‡

In my last couple of jobs it would get to this time in the year and we'd spend the rest of the year in planning mode. But I'd also use this time to do a bit of housekeeping of my existing content.

Now is a great time to review your existing body of content and make any important updates so it remains accurate and relevant in the new year. For example:

  • Update time-specific content (e.g. top marketing automation software for 2025 will look like an out-of-date list in January)
  • Check over your most valuable product related content and update to add new features or functionality that have been added since you published
  • Review customer case studies, remove ones you no longer have permission to use, or update to add new data or quotes based on their current experience with your product.

Over to you - what's one thing you can do to make sure your content remains up-to-date and accurate in the new year? 🧠 Catch you next time!

πŸ“– AI’s Impact on SEO: 13 Things That Changed, 4 Things That Stayed The Same by Mateusz Makosiewicz, Ahrefs

Like many of you, I started out in the "good old days" of content marketing. AI has ushered in a new chapter for SEO, and as Mateusz says, "the fundamentals still matter, but the strategy needs to evolve." His article for Ahrefs is a great read laying out what has (and hasn't) changed in SEO.
