Does blogging actually help SEO?
Yes, if you answer real customer questions. No, if you post generic 'top 5 tips' filler nobody searches for.

The short version
Content works when it targets a query someone actually types.

What actually matters
- • Each post should target one real search query.
- • Answer the question in the first paragraph.
- • Link internally to the relevant service page.
- • Update old posts rather than endlessly publishing new ones.
- • Two good posts a month beats eight thin ones.

The bit most people get wrong
