"In only three days, we saved Forbes Advisor $2,835.75 monthly. We published the article below last week, which rocketed to the top of Google (featured snippet). This article is on track to earn 1,000 monthly clicks (Semrush) with a $2.85 cost-per-click valuation (Surfer). That means Forbes would need to pay $2,835.75 monthly for the same amount of traffic. Instead, we can create an evergreen article to appear organically. Since it's an upfront cost, I consider each article a digital asset."
