WHY blogging?
Blogs help your customers find you and your business online. Blogging assists your search results to move you up higher in customer research.... Because who ever looks further than the first page of Google? (We know we don't!)
Implementing SEO helps your business get in front of more potential customers.
What’s the first thing people do when wanting to learn more about you or buy from you? They Google you. Having blogs on your website makes you more visible, gives you credibility and shows you are an authority in your field.
Blogging also helps to boost the quality of your website, by positioning your website as having the answer to customer questions. More exposure, more business…. Simply from blogging!
