Do I Really Still Need a Blog for My Business?

Call it what you want, but blogs are not out of date. It isn’t unheard of to wonder if people really read blogs anymore, and while it is a great question, it is not really relevant if people read it in full. The key is making sure people find you, and that is where search engine rankings come into play. The most foolproof way to make sure your website ranks on Google? Add new content to your website on a regular basis. The most effective way to do this is to blog consistently. It is not just about readership; it is about playing the long game to drive organic traffic and elevate your online presence. Let’s dive into the reasons why your business should embrace blogging.

Boost Organic Traffic Growth

The most critical reason to blog lies in its power to boost organic SEO. Our clients who publish at least 1-2 blogs per month experience roughly a 50% increase in organic site traffic compared to those who do not. It's a no-brainer. Blogging is not about instant results; it is about laying the groundwork for sustained organic traffic. A blog post today might not drive significant traffic tomorrow, but six months down the line, it could be your most substantial source of organic traffic. Pair this with a well-crafted paid ad strategy, and you will cover both organic and paid traffic, ensuring your business is discovered more frequently by the right audience.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Blogging is not a solo act; it is a partnership that includes your social media strategy. Repurposing blog content seamlessly integrates into your social media platforms, creating a cohesive narrative. Gone are the days of the overdone "click the link in my bio" posts. We can weave blog insights into your social media presence subtly, engaging your audience without it feeling forced. It is a nuanced approach that keeps your brand visible and relevant.

Take On Trends

Positioning your business as an authority in your industry is a strategic move, and blogging is your podium. Share your insights on trending topics, offer unique perspectives, and establish your brand as a thought leader. Regular blog contributions not only showcase your expertise but also keep your audience informed and engaged, looking to you as an authority figure within your industry.

Keep a Timeless Online Presence

When it comes to your website, you should never “set it and forget it,” or launch it and never touch it again. Blogs play a crucial role in keeping your online space dynamic and current. Beyond the SEO benefits, regularly updating your website ensures that your content, images, and services remain fresh. There is nothing worse than a website with blogs from years ago listed as the most recent!

Pro tip: Don't list dates on your blog to keep it timeless. This approach not only maintains relevance but also contributes to a polished and evergreen online presence.

Embracing blogging is crucial for your business in the dynamic world of digital marketing. Beyond the written content, it drives organic growth, supports SEO, and establishes authority. Integrating your blog into social media and keeping your website current ensures your business not only thrives in today's market but also sets the stage for ongoing success for your business. Stay relevant, stay engaging, and let your blog take your business to new heights.
