In order to maximize these benefits, blog posts should be created with SEO in mind. A properly SEO optimized post will be ranked higher on search engines, generate more website views and traffic, and add more value to the viewer!

2. Keyword Research

The first thing you should do is determine the best keywords to use for your post. You should have an idea of what you want to write about. The subject of what you want to write about will determine the keywords, which will be the main focus of your blog and is what people would search to find the blog. Think about what your potential target market would search and try to utilize that as the keyword. Enter the possible keywords into a keyword search box if available. If you're not sure what keyword to use enter your keyword idea and "do more research" in step 3.
