The problem
Many businesses fall into the trap of thinking SEO success is measured solely by the number of blog posts published. While blogs can play a valuable role in increasing site authority and covering informational queries, they don’t always translate into sales or leads.
The website in question had invested heavily in blogging. While organic sessions were increasing, those sessions weren’t translating into tangible business outcomes like form submissions, product enquiries, or service leads.
Upon reviewing the strategy, we found:
- Most of the organic traffic was landing on blogs that answered generic questions.
- There was very little content targeting commercial keywords.
- Service, product, and location pages were under-optimised and underperforming.
