You’ve probably heard arguments supporting the quality side of this debate:
Having high quality content that is well researched, written without spelling and grammatical errors, and that contains useful information is better than posting content every day that is sloppily written without a particular audience in mind.
Most of us would agree that this is true.
If you speak with a marketing or SEO expert, they will tell you, from a website optimization standpoint, that quantity is also very important.
You should publish a high quantity of posts on your business blog every year in order to be found more easily by more people online and to build your online presence. This will, in turn, attract more visitors to your website, giving you the opportunity to convert visitors into customers and increase your ROI.
This is also true. So, what’s the point?
The point is, the best answer to the quality vs. quantity debate isn’t choosing one over the other but choosing BOTH. In order to obtain the best results, you should write every single piece of content with quality and your audience in mind, and you should publish great new content regularly throughout the year.
Let’s dig a little deeper into what each side of the quality vs. quantity debate has to offer, and why both sides are equally important to your overall content marketing strategy and the foundation on which to build your business website.
Why Quality Needs Quantity
In order for your blog to grow and obtain more readers and subscribers, you need to publish posts on a regular basis—content your audience wants to read. The exact number of blog posts you should publish per week or per year will greatly vary across different businesses depending on goals, audiences, etc. One business may benefit most by publishing a blog post bimonthly, while another business may see the best results when regularly posting five times per week. As you blog, you may need to experiment and look at the results in the data you collect over time to find your blogging frequency sweet spot. Once you do, the key is consistency. Keep your blog active by continuing to pump out new content!
Once you have a blogging strategy in place and an expert marketing team behind you, you should see several things begin to happen as you begin blogging more frequently:
- Additional pages on your website for search engines to index
- Ranking for more keywords in search engines
- Increased ranking for your current keywords in search engines
- More visitors to your website
- More thoroughly educating your readers on different topics
- Increased internal linking
- More shares on social media
- Increased blog views, new leads, and blog subscribers
- Enhanced overall online presence
