The world may have gone crazy for video content and social media, but I have a secret to share with you. Blogs still matter in 2025. New marketing trends come and go regularly, so why blogging is important is a hot topic. If you decide to skip a blog on your business website, you’re making a mistake.
Today I’m going to talk about why. At Maggie Writes Copy I aim to give you the most up-to-date marketing information. And today is no different.
This article will go in-depth on:
How blogs build authority for you in your business.
Building your audience organically with blogs for SEO.
Blog strategies that keep your content relevant and engaging.
Repurposing blog content so you get the most bang for your buck.
Let’s dive right into our topic and discuss the power blogs give your business – why blogs are an essential tool in your digital marketing plan.
Just because you know something doesn’t mean your audience knows about your expertise. Often it’s easy to forget this isn’t readily apparent. To us, it’s common knowledge. To them, it’s not even on their radar.
This is one of the reasons why blogging is important for business. It gives you a platform to share your knowledge with your audience. Cements you as a thought leader in the niche. And gives you an opportunity to add value to your audience’s life.
Blogging isn’t about showing off or slapping words on a page just to rank (more about that later). It’s about showcasing your ability to help your audience by either meeting their needs or solving their problems. Bringing value to your audience right off the bat makes you a staple in the niche you serve.
Let’s dive deeper into this.
The internet is full of people all trying to win people’s business. But to authentically sell to people you need to have a product or service that actually matters. Then you need to build trust with your audience so they learn how you can help them.
When you build authority with your audience and show up for them on a regular basis, it builds trust that you follow through.
Once your audience trusts you they’re more likely to:
But trust doesn’t come overnight. You need to show your willingness to show up regularly. This means consistent blogging that meets your audience’s needs.
The path to thought leadership starts through consistent blogging. Touching on topics that foster audience engagement. Always create quality content that stands above your competitors.
First – understand your audience so you know what questions they are constantly asking. What problems they are trying to solve?
Then – write blog posts that answer those questions and provide solutions.
Deliver value to your audience and become their main source of knowledge on a topic. Let your blog become a beacon of answers and solutions.
Still curious why blogging is important in business? When you consistently deliver value, you build an engaged audience AND gain a reputation as a resource in your field.
Not quite sure what I mean by this? Here are some examples of blogs that have become thought leaders in their industries.
Chances are you’ve heard of at least one or two of these, depending on where your interests lie.
These are some highly successful blogs. When people read one of their blog posts, they trust the post is well-researched, relevant, and current. These blogs all cover topics that people want and need to know the answers to.
These are just a few examples of thought leadership born out of blogging. It shows the potential to become a household name in your community. All through writing blogs.
There are several ways to make sure your content stands out from your competitors.
These strategies are simple yet powerful ways to make your blog stand out. By enriching your audience you establish your authority. Showing them you’re a leader in your field.
Blogging doesn’t just build trust with your audience. It also builds trust with Google.
Tons of content is being pumped out across the internet daily. But there’s still no denying – quality content is key for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). In 2025 it can be easy to feel like the rise of AI makes blogging irrelevant and obsolete.
But what AI has actually done is make quality content more important than ever. Algorithms are changing to highlight the authority-building content you put together.
This means if you’re writing to enhance your reader’s knowledge (as discussed above) you’re already ahead of a lot of the competition.
Search Engine algorithms favor content that is:
Want to know why blogging is still a cornerstone of effective SEO?
When you consistently create fresh content that helps your audience you tell Google your website is active. Google’s goal is to provide the best information to your audience. If your blog does that, you’re winning.
How does Google know your site does that?
Let’s talk a bit about these keywords.
When people type a search term into a search engine, it’s known as a keyword. Knowing the keywords people typically search for and then using them can help your page pop up first. This is the premise of optimizing your site with SEO.
Researching keywords also tells you what your audience is searching for. Helping you to create even more relevant content.
Once your site starts ranking for important keywords your competitors will start noticing. They’ll start linking to your site when they want to rank for similar keywords.
Those links tell Google they are sourcing quality content for their blog posts. They also tell Google your site is even more relevant. Creating a compounding effect.
This is why even though you want your content to rank, you should start off by writing for your readers. Not just creating quick, cheap, AI-generated content that doesn’t help anyone actually solve a problem.
The more quality your content is, the more likely it will be shared and referenced by other people. Gaining you more backlinks from reputable sources.
So what kind of writing is actually ranking on Google? It’s easy to say quality content, but that’s not the only determining factor. Keep in mind, that Google changes its algorithm regularly. So what works today doesn’t always work tomorrow.
These simple practices will go a long way toward ranking your content on search engines. Let’s talk about specific strategies too though. What trends are current now?
Content is being consumed very differently now than it was when blogging first became a strategy. There are so many distractions that it’s easy to fade into the background.
In 2024, people are looking for easy-to-digest, interactive content. They want to feel connected to what they’re interacting with and feel like it speaks directly to them.
Here are a few ways to make sure your blog remains relevant.
All these strategies can help you succeed both with search engines and with your audience.
The other great thing about blogging is it doesn’t have to just benefit you once.
If you’re posting blogs in 2024 and not reusing that content in other avenues, you’re not maximizing your investment. With the wide variety of marketing outreach available it’s important to be strategic.
Here are some easy ways to implement this strategy.
Use the framework of your blog posts to craft email broadcasts and campaigns. Repurpose tips, stories, and key insights to create cohesive marketing. Use your email marketing to drive people back to your blog for the full story.
This strategy not only keeps your audience engaged with you. It keeps your company top of mind. AND it drives traffic back to your site giving your SEO a boost. Didn’t know you could use email for SEO did you?!
We talked about sharing your blog posts on social media above. But you can take this one step further. Break your blog post into bite-sized chunks, reword it a bit and then create posts that are cohesive with your website. Without having to come up with all sorts of different ideas.
All these can come directly from your blog and inform your social media strategy.
Social media can be draining. It’s hard to come up with endless post ideas. So repurposing blog content can really help with strategy. It can also help you with SEO as you always want to ask people to read the full article.
Video is an important tool in today’s marketing. Podcasts, webinars, reels, videos. All these mediums are very popular. Use your blogs to determine a subject matter that connects with your audience dynamically.
Downloadable resources can be huge for building authority and building your email list. Nurture your leads through your funnel without coming up with new content and concepts. Use your blogs as ebooks, white papers, and how-to guides to wow your audience.
This also allows your audience to reference your company even when they aren’t online.
To repurpose blogs correctly there are a couple of things you’ll want to focus on.
Creating a cohesive strategy like this extends the life of your content, cuts down on the time it takes to create it, and makes sense to your audience. They learn to recognize your company, building brand awareness.
Digital marketing is always changing. But for right now at least, blogging isn’t going anywhere.

Blogging is important for business because it affects how your audience views and interacts with your company and brand.
