03 / The long view
Search assets still need care.
Rankings shift. Offers change. People’s needs move on. MossMeter maintains tools and content over time so each one can keep earning its place in search.
Search traffic can compound, but it is uneven. Rankings, passive income and particular returns are never guaranteed; each asset needs ongoing care as search, offers and user needs change.
A considered first step
Have a niche in mind?
Start with the search question and the tool that could answer it. A focused test is a better beginning than a portfolio built on assumptions.
