Why you should publish at least two articles per week

10/24/2022 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

If you publish at least two articles, e.g. blog posts on your website per week and thus your sitemap grows piece by piece, this shows Google and other search engines that you continuously provide up-to-date information that potentially has a higher benefit for users. In the best case, you will benefit from a better, i.e. higher, search engine ranking - ideally on the first page - and thus receive more free search engine traffic, so-called organic traffic.

As is true everywhere, staying on the ball pays off

In the short term, the effect may seem small to you. But consider how quickly two articles a week and 52 weeks a year can add up to a triple-digit number of articles or blogposts. 100 opportunities per year to find and engage relevant prospects with entertaining copy on your topic and products. You often leave your competitors far behind in this regard.

Already after a few years you have considered and described your topic from all possible angles, pointed out all typical mistakes, created FAQs and How-To's for beginners, always discussed the latest innovations and thus created over time an article catalog and archive, from which you can benefit in the long term and that will help you in the long run to more visitors, prospects and customers (so-called long tail content).

This evergreen content forms the basis, the foundation for your future business success. So it's worth investing in content creation.
