Part Two – Small Business Blogging Allows You To Get to Know Your Customers
Mid Columbia Web believes that all small businesses should have an active blog, and we have the resources to not only make a killer website, but a traffic generating blog as well.
You may or may not have heard of the term Search Engine Optimization. Although it sounds like a complicated techno term, it means creating a website that the search engines love. Search engines like Google and Bing are looking for specific things on your website, and if it finds them, it thinks you should be placed higher up in the rankings.
One major part of Search Engine Optimization (from here on out known as SEO) is having new content on your site all the time. The more content you are putting on your site (at least a few times a week), the more often the search engines will come and “look” at your site. The more they look, they more they will like.
Guess what is an efficient way to constantly update your site? Yep, you guessed it, blogging! Not only do search engines love the way blogs are set up, but you will be giving them new content to read a few times a week.
If you have a static html site that never changes, it can be difficult to update, you may need to have someone on staff that knows how to do that. Time consuming and labor intensive for sure! A blog is so simple to publish and maintain that anyone on your staff can handle it, even the most techno-challenged.
Blogging really does have it all when it comes to SEO, it is easy for humans to do, the search engines like the set up and they visit you more often. The more they visit, the more the like and the higher you will rank for your particular business keywords. It is the perfect solution for small business owners.
