Best Practices for Blogging (the Right Way) to Get That SEO Juice

Let’s kill the myth: blogging isn’t dead.
Bad blogging is.

If you’re still treating your blog like a digital diary or stuffing it with random updates no one’s searching for, it’s time to pivot. In 2025, blogging is one of the smartest ways to build organic traffic, boost site credibility, and get found by the people already looking for what you offer.

But only if you do it right.

Here’s how to make your blog actually work for you — and serve up some of that sweet, slow-burn SEO juice that keeps working long after you hit publish.

1. Start With Search Intent (Not Just Topics You Like)

Before you write anything, figure out what your ideal client is actually Googling.
Use tools like:

  • Google Autocomplete
  • Ubersuggest
  • Answer the Public
  • Keywords Everywhere

You're not writing for you — you’re writing for someone looking for an answer, a service, or a solution. That’s your entry point.

2. Write Long Enough to Rank — But Don’t Ramble

Google likes content that goes deep. Aim for 800–1,500 words on average, depending on your niche.
But here’s the catch: length matters only if the content stays valuable throughout.

Don’t stuff it.
Don’t repeat yourself.
Don’t fluff it just to hit word count.

Think: clear headers, bullet points, value-packed sections, and zero filler.

3. Use SEO-Friendly Structure

Make your blog Google’s BFF with clean formatting:

  • One H1 tag (your main title)
  • Logical H2s and H3s for subheaders
  • Short paragraphs
  • Keywords in your title, URL, meta description, first paragraph, and one or two headers


And yes — include internal links to your services and external links to reputable sources. Google likes that.

4. Make It Easy to Read (Because No One Reads Anymore)

Skimmable = readable = shareable.

  • Use bolding, bullets, and clear spacing
  • Break up long walls of text
  • Use straight-to-the-point headers
  • Add a CTA every 2–3 scrolls


And please — skip the academic tone. People want clarity, not complexity.

5. Link It Back to What You Sell

Your blog should naturally lead into your offers, services, or at least a freebie that builds your list. If someone finds your blog through Google, reads it, and leaves without taking action… that’s traffic, not conversion.

  • Add a CTA to your service packages
  • Link to your booking form
  • Mention your custom web design or branding services where relevant


This is how your blog becomes a sales funnel, not just a nice thing you did for SEO.

6. Be Consistent, Not Constant

You don’t need to post every week — but you do need to post regularly enough that Google knows your site’s alive.

Start with once a month. Prioritize quality over quantity.
Build a backlog of high-value posts that rank and convert over time.

Bonus: Blog Topics That Drive Organic Traffic in Creative Service Industries

  • What does a $5k web design package include?
  • How to build a brand that converts (not just looks cute)
  • Squarespace vs Webflow: What’s better for service businesses?
  • What actually makes a good homepage?
  • How to prep your business for a full rebrand


Hot tip: You’re not just writing content. You’re building a library that works 24/7 — even when you're not online.

Okay, Blogging in 2025 isn't...

Blogging in 2025 isn’t about writing for the sake of it. It’s about writing with a strategy that speaks to real people, answers real questions, and pulls real search traffic into your orbit.

Design the post like you’d design a landing page:
Clear headline. Clean structure. Call to action.
Then hit publish — and let Google do the rest.
