Creating a Blog on your website is useful tool that helps give significant perceived value to our website and drives  more visibility, because with this we get:

  • Reach those informational searches that the user does, which are called terms How to: ‘How to do …?’, ‘Where is …?’, ‘What is …?’
  • Get our user to come to us to find information and earn loyalty through this channel.

For this, we must take into account the following to build it from scratch with a good base:

Once we have this clear, create a menu within the Blog adapted to the needs of users and the guidelines of how to create a perfect SEO web architecture.
  2. Create unique and original content. Not many articles that are written on the same subject will be better positioned, but it is more advisable to create an optimized, original and complete information.
  3. Adapt to new information needs. The world is spinning faster and faster, and you have to keep pace. That is why, when we search for something in Google, we want the information more and more concrete and specific, be direct.

  5. That content is optimized for SEO. It is necessary to make a study of key words that the user searches around the chosen topic, in order to include those terms in our article following the appropriate OnPage optimizations.
  6. Be up to date Not only the content rewards, but also the format: videos, images, infographics … All these elements help the user to better read, since there are searches that the user, depending on how he does them, are to find the information in form of video, image or infographic.
  7. Be constant. The Blog is a tool that helps us to better position the website, if this condition is met. It is not necessary to create an article a day, but be aware that it must be regular,  to stop publishing suddenly can have an adverse affect the website visits.
