Tips for writing great posts that increase your site traffic

Blam Websites • April 30, 2020

Write about something you know. If you don’t know much about a specific topic that will interest your readers, invite an expert to write about it.

Speak to your audience

You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about


Take a few moments to plan your post

Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.


Don’t forget to add images

Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.


Edit carefully before posting

Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.

When Organic SEO Might Be Relevant There are cases when Organic SEO can still be valuable for local businesses, such as building authority or driving traffic to blogs or resources on your website. For example, a local bakery might use Organic SEO to attract people looking for recipes or baking tips, which could bring more visibility to their site over time. But keep in mind, Organic SEO is a slower burn; it’s more of a long-term play and doesn’t always lead to immediate leads. Generally speaking organic SEO is more appropriate when a company is focusing on informational type searches such as "how do I get to the top of Google" as opposed to more transactional searches with commercial intent such as "seo agency near me".
