Educational Blogs
Educational blog posts which are very similar to the above article suggestions in that these are informative to your readers. They are designed to help drive people to your site and to educate them on specific subjects. When people arrive on your blog make sure that it is educational and not a sales pitch as this will put off people from potentially signing up to your Email Newsletter or social media networks for more tips. If you can create yourself as an expert leader in your industry then people will start to trust your educational blog posts and eventually when they do need your services or products then they will most likely come to you instead of your competitors. If your blog posts are informative enough then you will entice people to sign up your distribution service which must easy to find from your blog post otherwise all the traffic that you are generating will be useless.
Be Human & Tell A Story
A great way to build trust and for people to get to know you it is a good idea to write blog posts which make you sound like a human rather than a robot. Sometimes you need to inject a bit of personality into your writing to help tell a story rather than bore people.

Quite often people don’t always read an entire article and all they are interested in is the headline and the easy to collect information. However, part of your content and SEO Plan must be to keep people on your web pages for as long as possible as this will improve your web stats in terms of how long people stay on your site which is important to search engines as this indicates that the web page must be useful to users and it will help your website rank better overall as a result.
Client News
When you have done a good job for your client and they are happy with what you have done then producing content based on your Client SEO Projects and customer success it a great way to showcase what you do works and how it could potentially work for new customers when they are researching your online profile before contacting or buying from you.

It will help build trust and relationships with existing and new customers before they decide to use your services or buy your products. This might be the difference between customers buying from you or your competitors.
