Keep Users Coming Back To Your Website With A Professional Blog
As you likely know, a great website is the foundation for all successful Digital Marketing. Your website may already have great content in place, with powerfully written pages that explain your products and services, but a successful website doesn’t stop at the basics. For your website to really thrive, it needs to be updated regularly, and the best way to do this is through a professional blog.
Blogging is increasingly common in today’s content-driven online world, and most experts agree that blogs are vital for businesses marketing their products and services online.
Why Blog?
Studies show that businesses that blog can receive up to 67% more leads online. Blogging has become one of the most trusted sources of online information, and it is critical for positioning your website well in search engine results.
A significant reason why blogs are so popular is that they deliver valuable content to internet users. These days, users are looking to be delighted by educational and entertaining content as they browse the web. Blogs can answer questions, share news, convey exclusive industry information, and entertain website visitors. Providing this value allows you to go beyond generating sales leads and to build an enthusiastic online community, and is a big part of search engine marketing.
To illustrate how this works, take a look at this screenshot of the top 5 pages for www.smileysglass.com from January to August 2021. The two blog posts listed answer common questions related to automotive glass repair. Visitors spend a lot of time on these pages, which boosts search engine ranking signals.
Regularly publishing a blog helps to keep visitors returning to your site, and this, in turn, will help increase your credibility and ranking at major search engines, helping more users find you organically.
