Blog Writing Tips

Now that you have plenty of ideas to get you started on writing your first blog, you may be wondering, “How do I go about actually writing this thing?” Well, luckily we have a couple of tips to get you started.

Blogging Tip #1: Include Keywords that Your Audience is Already Searching for

The #1 purpose of a blog is to provide valuable information to people that need it most. When you do this consistently, Google will consider you an expert in your industry and show your content to more people. 

The best way to make sure that you are providing relevant information to your ideal audience is to find out the keywords (or questions) that they are searching for. Keyword research is one of the best ways to find out what your audience is asking Google. 

Check out a couple of our favorite keyword research tools:

• Moz Keyword Explorer
• Google Keyword Planner
• KWFinder 

Blogging Tip #2: Include a Challenger Viewpoint

Is there anything that your business believes, that goes against the grain or challenges the industry? Are there common problems that you believe you can help your readers solve? If so, include these viewpoints in your articles and show your readers that you are on their side. 

For example, you could say that “It’s just plain wrong for homeowners to have to worry about roofing scams that waste their time and money.” and then give your readers the 5 Top Roofing Scams to Look Out For in an article. The main takeaway from this tip is that you want to make your customers feel special, and you want to help them solve common problems with your content. 

Blogging Tip #3: Images, Links, and Videos

Let’s be real here, roofing content can be a bit boring. While most roofing blogs are filled with super valuable and helpful content, they aren’t the most engaging things to read, especially for the average homeowner. That’s why it is important to make your content as engaging as possible, using more than just your words.

Images, YouTube videos, links to products, even gifs, and emojis can make your blog content stand out amongst the thousands of other roofing company blog articles that are out there. At Hook, we like to make sure that all “walls of text” in our blogs are broken up by other content, as demonstrated below. 

Just make sure that you are using licensed stock images, or giving credit when you include images or videos from another source.
