How To Make Your Old Blogs Relevant Again: Inside the Biggest SEO Hack With Maven Made Copy
Point Of The Story
Eden's Background and Blogging Niche
Eden explains her blog-writing work, niche focus, and love of leggings before the main topic begins.
When's the last time you looked at your old blog posts?
Because if you've been blogging for more than a year, I'd bet good money there are broken links, outdated info, old offers, and maybe even a reference to a husband that no longer exists living rent-free on your website right now. (No, that last one isn't hypothetical.)
I sit down with Eden Sloboth of Maven Made Copy — blog writer, SEO strategist, and the woman who is single-handedly removing the remnants of my past life from my website one post at a time.
Eden creates custom blog strategies for creative entrepreneurs that combine personality and SEO — so your blog doesn't just exist but actively works for you. She's written blogs across 30+ industries and believes every business can benefit from a blog strategy.
We're talking about why updating your old blogs is one of the smartest SEO moves you're not making, how to know which posts to prioritize, and the full step-by-step process Eden uses to take a crusty old blog and make it work again.
