Goal 1: Provide Fresh Content

What types of content on your business website frequently changes? This is what you want to update regularly on your blog. Content may include upcoming events, sales promotions, press clippings, or informative articles about your products and services. Blogs will show your newest posts at the top while pushing older posts down the page, so you want to make sure what you post is more recent news than your last.  There are blog plug-ins that can serve your most popular or most viewed posts, above the fold to ensure relevance to your audience.

Goal 2: Stay Connected to Customers

Blogs aren’t meant for one-way communication. Just like in doing business, you have to attach another face to the scenario. Provide a comment area after each post where customers can provide input, feedback and opinions. Give the customer an area to comment on trends that you see in your industry or even submit their own testimonials about your services. The customer will feel more connected with your brand, and more likely to come back to read future posts.  Be sure to use a comment spam filter so your blog does not become a haven for spammers. A great filter is Akismet.

Goal 3: Be visible to search engines

Many SEO experts suggest launching a blog when concerning the improvement of search engine rankings for your business. Blogs effectively serve fresh content with keyword friendly URLs to your business site, which search engines love. These top keywords need to be what you want your business to be searched for, linking directly to your business’ site. This tactic will gradually increase search rankings, and potentially improve business.  Ongoing, relevant content not only educates consumers, but it also educates search engines about your industry knowledge, credibility and expertise.

Goal 4: Add new functions to meet change in technology

As technology is rapidly changing and growing, you will want to consider plug-ins compatible to your blog. To help maintain your brand’s reputation add video about the history of your brand or pictures from community involvement. These tools will keep you up to date with the fast-paced web technology and also provide variation to your site’s content.  Popular plug-ins that are now “must haves” include SEO-friendly plug-ins, comment spam filters, and other social media capabilities.
