SEO – or “ranking on Google”, should be of great interest to every business owner.
The fact is – everyone uses Google, to find products and services, pretty much every day of the week.
Page 1 of Google gets almost ALL of the web traffic, so trying to get there is a worthwhile activity.
In this article we’ll discuss the idea of “evergreen digital assets” – things that once ON your website, can and should drive free customers to your website and business more or less forever.
What are “Linkable Assets”?

They’ll drive traffic to your website and business, as well as further prove your credibility, expertise, and trustworthiness.
