Providing your audience with informative articles on a timely basis is a great way to build your brand’s trust with the public. Here are four benefits of blogging as part of your content marketing strategy:
Blogging helps optimize organic search engine optimization (SEO). All search engines favor fresh content produced consistently. And the good news is, SEO does this for free! Following our simple SEO guidelines will help your content stand out from the competition.
Blogging helps form new relationships with clients and strengthen old ones. Blogging is a great way to show off your company’s personality. By becoming human in your prospects’ eyes, they are more likely to resonate with your content, helping to boost relationships and revenue for your company. It sounds like a no-brainer, right?
Blogging can position you as a thought leader. In the world of marketing, being considered a thought leader is extremely beneficial to your brand. If a prospect is deciding between your company and two others, a blog with valuable content could be the ‘X’ factor that sets you apart from your competitors.
