Integrate your very own blog into your website
The growth of blogs has become an integral part of SEO and is important to businesses because blogging is a great way to spread word of mouth. Consumers don’t rely on ads anymore; they prefer opinions from family, friends, and people they trust. If a consumer is reading their favourite blog and come across an article about a brand they love, they will most likely trust it more than seeing an ad.

The better key words you use, the more likely the blog will show up in Google searches. This way, readers will find your blog and in turn, drive traffic to your website.
