How to Use a Blog to Drive Traffic to Your Business

The Secret Most Businesses Miss

Most business owners know they need a website. Fewer realize that the website itself isn’t enough—you need content that draws people in. That’s where a blog comes in. Done right, it’s not just an afterthought; it’s the engine that drives traffic, builds authority, and generates leads. Done wrong, it’s just another dusty page with three half-baked posts from 2017.

Why Google Loves Fresh Content

Google rewards consistency. When you publish new, relevant articles, you’re signaling that your business is alive and active. That matters for search rankings. But consistency alone isn’t enough—quality has to be there, too. Combine those two, and you’ve got the sweet spot. Consistency + quality = gold to Google.

Case in Point: Daily Blogging Done Right

Look at Earnology. They publish a new blog post every single day—highly relevant, niche-focused content around personal finance. No fluff, no random filler. Just useful, specific posts that keep readers coming back. The result? Momentum with Google and a growing base of loyal readers.

Another example is CorviaHome. It’s a newer site in the home ownership and real estate niche, but they’ve committed to blogging every day as well. Even though the site is young, Google notices the consistent publishing pattern, and over time, that steady drip of content builds into serious domain authority.

Thirdly, we’ve written about it before, but Boundary Voyage consistently puts out truly excellent quality content in the fishing niche. Posts are full of pictures so you know what he’s talking about, and Mike does a great job walking you through what you actually need to know (not what some random salesperson “swears” you “need”).

Why “Every Day” Beats “Every So Often”

Many businesses try to blog “when they have time.” Here’s the truth: that approach won’t move the needle. Why? Because you never “have spare time.” But if you take blogging seriously, even twice a week is 100x what most people do. And Google doesn’t reward sporadic effort. A blog post here and there won’t establish authority, and it won’t convince readers you’re a trusted voice. But daily (or near-daily) blogging? That sends a clear signal. It tells both search engines and humans: “We know this space, and we’re here to stay.”

How a Blog Translates Into Traffic

  • Each post = another doorway. Every blog post is a chance to rank for a new keyword. The more quality posts you have, the more doors you’ve opened for new visitors.
  • Internal linking builds authority. Posts connect to each other, keeping readers on your site longer and boosting the SEO of older content.
  • Trust grows over time. People don’t trust a company that posts twice a year. They trust the one that shows up every week with useful insights.

Getting Started Without Burning Out

If you’re thinking, “I can’t possibly blog every day,” start smaller. Aim for twice a week. Once you find your rhythm, ramp up. The key isn’t to flood the internet with filler—it’s to consistently deliver relevant, quality posts in your niche.

And don’t overthink it. Most business owners underestimate how many small, useful things they know that their customers don’t. Turn those into blog posts.

A Real World Example

We helped a small home services company start blogging on a weekly basis. In only a few months, their traffic exploded – up 500%+. It was nuts. That lead to more phone calls and more sales.

Blogging isn’t just another item on your To Do list. It can be a true sales asset that earns for years to come.

Final Thought: Your Blog Is an Asset

Treat your blog like the long-term business asset it is. Each post is a seed. One seed doesn’t change much, but plant hundreds, and you’ve got a forest. Businesses that embrace this play the long game—and they’re the ones who win big on Google.
