A well-written blog that's been updated regularly helps not only improve your website SEO but also boosts your connection with your customers. Regularly updated websites signal to Google that the website is current and offering fresh content. A quality blog also gives you opportunities for providing internal links to other pages of your site and other sites can link back to your blog. Finally, when your audience reads a post they really like, they are more likely to share it, drive more traffic to it, come back to your site again and maybe even sign up for a newsletter or place an order.
