Contrary to popular belief, the written word is not dead.

When it comes to SEO, the written word is just as important as ever.  While video content is the content that often engages your audience, words feed the SEO machine and allow your site to be searched.

Blogs are a great place to focus on some of the products and services your company can provide.  They’re also vital to plugging in the keywords you need to be found on search engines.  Whether it’s in the title of a post, or as anchor text in a post, keywords can find a useful home on your blog.
