Boosting your blog’s visibility and relevance is like unlocking a treasure trove of possibilities! Search engines, like Google, aim to deliver the most relevant and useful information to users when they perform a search. The more information they have about what your company does, the better they can position your site in their search rankings boosting your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy.  A blog is a great way to give Google detailed information on the products or services you offer, or important industry news. Dive into these dynamic strategies to supercharge your blog’s discoverability.
  1. Gain Authority – Do you ever wonder why some websites top the Google rankings while others struggle to even be noticed? Google rankings want to see that you have some authority in your industry.  The more information you can share on your website or blog about your product, service, or industry, the more respect you will get from Google.  That respect will translate into higher placement when people search for what your site is about.
  2. User Longevity – Another reason to have a blog is to keep visitors on your website longer. Google and other search engines interpret longer user durations as a positive engagement signal. If users are spending more time on your site, it implies that your content is relevant and valuable and meets the consumer’s needs. Google will translate users’ longevity on your site as a good sign that you know what you’re talking about. 
  3. Better Engagement – Engagement is crucial for SEO. The level of engagement on a website provides valuable information to search engines about the quality and relevance of your website content. If you want more reviews or social engagement, a blog gives you the opportunity to connect with your audience.

  4. Keyword Research – The vast majority of web pages, approximately 90%, go unnoticed by Google, resulting in a considerable amount of content that remains undiscovered. Understanding your audience’s interests and how they search for information is challenging without conducting keyword research. Keyword research gives you valuable information into what your readers or potential clients are looking for, what they associate your subject or product with, and what new topics are trending.
  5. Write Great Content – Website visitors spend just 37 seconds on average reading a blog post, just long enough to skim it to see if it’s worth their time to read. People tend to gravitate to well-written articles that show depth on a given topic, and long-form content does better in Google search results.
