Just like every blog post you write is another index page and an opportunity to show up on search engines, each post is a new opportunity to generate leads. In fact, search engine leads have 14.6% close rate, while outbound leads have a 1.7% close rate.

Blogging can especially be a helpful tool for sales and service professionals.

If prospect finds answers to their common questions by from blog posts written by people at your company, they are much more likely to come into the sales process trusting what you have to say.
Additionally, prospects that have been reading your blog posts will typically enter the sales process more educated on your place in the market., your industry and what you have to offer.
It drives long term, sustainable results.
Let’s say you sit down for 2 hours and write and publish a blog post today. Let’s say that that blog post gets you 135 visits but no new leads within the first month. That post is far from done. That content will soon rank on search engines. That means for days, weeks an months you can continue to get traffic and leads from that blog post.
Hopefully, this demonstrates the value we need to consider creating and scaling a blog for your business. Because taking the time to do so can help you, your business, and your customers to grow better together.
