How to Write Blog Posts That Actually Rank on Google

How to Write Blog Posts That Actually Rank on Google

16 July 2026

Most business blogs fail because they write for themselves, not for Google. Here is how to write posts that actually rank.

  • Start with keyword research. Use free tools like Google Keyword Planner or Ubersuggest to find what people actually search for
  • Write for one keyword per post. Put it in your title, first paragraph, and headings
  • Write at least 1000 words. Google prefers comprehensive content
  • Use subheadings (H2, H3) to break up text
  • Add internal links to other pages on your site
  • Include images with descriptive alt text
  • End with a clear call to action
  • Publish consistently, not all at once. One post per week beats twelve posts in January and nothing for the rest of the year

Blogging is a long game. Start today, see results in 3-6 months
