By doing this you building a relationship and report with your prospective clients before you even meet them face to face.

Lastly, having a blog is a great way to boost your Search Engine Optimization efforts. One of the main things that Google wants to provide it’s target audience (which is their searchers, not your business), is the most relevant search results for what they are looking for. One of the ways that Google looks at your website, is how often you are updating your website content. If they see that you are consistently adding new content, then you are an active and relevant business in their eyes. One great way to consistently update website copy is to have an integrated blog on your website.

So as you can see, having a blog is more than just putting a bunch of words on your website talking about your company. If done correctly, it can provide actual tangible results by educating your prospective customers about your business, building trust, and driving relevant website visitors to your website.
