A content-less site with no added value, one that speaks mainly about the company but offers nothing more than a list of services; a website that gets visitors to bounce off soon after their first visit; these are all perfect recipes to join the vast online kingdom of forsaken websites.
Content will not only help your search engine rankings, it will also enhance the user’s experience on your website, make them stay longer, share your page, search for you on social networks, come back and eventually make contact.
Without an active blog, your website is nothing but a business card or a dry catalog, never engaging and with poor authority. It doesn’t offer anything new and unless the potential customer on your site was looking for you specifically, they will most likely leave without a trace.
Even if you already have a blog, surely you know it takes a lot of effort to keep it going and maintain high quality and engaging content on a regular basis, week after week. You can easily find yourself with an outdated blog or simply give up because you don’t get the return you were expecting for your investment.
Go Pro
Whether you already have a blog or need to create one from scratch, you will need a professional team by your side.
Before you get started, you will need a game plan. Have you set a mission for your blog? Have you thought how is it going to be different from other blogs in your niche? What is your conversion strategy? Who is your target audience? What do they like to read about? How often should you talk about your own business?
You will need talented bloggers to produce engaging posts. You will need online marketers to share your content where it counts. You will need a content editor to plan ahead and manage the blog regularly. And, it won’t harm to have an SEO specialist to ensure that your blog is having an affair with Google.
Become an Authority by Blogging
So why go through all this hassle you ask? Because having an outstanding blog will make you shine above your competition. Your audience will gradually realize that you are an authority in your space, as long as you don’t blog about yourself all the time.
Becoming an authority is priceless. It means that people will revisit your website for more, approach you for advise, and listen to what you have to say. They will tell others about you. They might invite you or your team to speak at events, and they will most likely turn to you when they are ready to become customers.
It takes time and a lot of work, but if you (or your blog marketing team) know the art of blogging, the possibilities and benefits are endless.
