How Business Blogs can help you Engage with your Customers

Even though the heydays of blogging are behind us, businesses still have a lot to gain from publishing regularly on their websites or blogs. Here are the top tree reasons businesses should blog:


Blogs Drive Traffic to Your Website
There are several ways to bring more people to your website. You can pay an exorbitant amount on email lists, you can purchase ads on search engines, or you can use any of the black hat (illegal) techniques. They may bring results in the short run, but you risk getting banned on Google and spoiling your brand’s reputation. Regular blogging is a safer and long-term way to direct traffic to your website. And it blogging does not go against social media. You can write posts and later share them on Facebook, Google Plus, and other social media platforms.

Blogs Build Authority
A common thread uniting the best blogs is that they are informative. They answer questions, at least the common ones, that leads and customers have. If you are blogging regularly and create content that your leads and customers have helpful, you will build an authority in your market and this will show up in your sales reports. Even slightly informative blogs can go a long way in making your an authority in the eyes of potential and existing customers.

Blogs are a Long-term Strategy
Create a blog today and it will continue to drive traffic for years - as long as your blog is alive and functioning. This is in stark contrast to social media posts where immediately matters. Businesses can use blogs as a long-term traffic strategy.

Authority and long-term traffic are the main reasons every business should have a blog.
