Corporate Blogging

Internal blogging is more informal than external corporate blogging. These blogs are created as a way for a company to update employees or engage them in meaningful conversations. They are not open to the general public.

An internal corporate blog can help a business reach goals that include:

• Employee participation in policy creation, product creation and more
• Free discussion of issues that relate to the workplace
• Easy and quick communication between different departments and areas of an organization
• Documentation of collaborative efforts and decision making

Internal corporate blogs can also provide employees with a sense of community because they allow all members of an organization to share their opinions and expertise.

Blogging as a marketing technique

The main goal of external corporate blogging is to market the associated business. Businesses that choose to market using a blog are 13 times more likely to see a return on their investments than businesses that do not create blog content for their website.

There is a number of ways a corporate blog can increase marketing efforts that include:

• Search Engine Optimization: Corporate blogging can help an organization increase their chances of showing up on the first page in search engines like Google. Blog articles that contain targeted keywords that are used effectively in the content are more likely to show up in relevant searches online, which ultimately increases traffic to the website.
• Brand Awareness: A blog can help an organization get the word out about what they have to offer. High-quality, relevant blog topics enable a business to increase their chances of being searched for and found on the internet, increasing their exposure.
• Engagement: Corporate blogging can increase engagement among potential and current customers and clients. Engaged customers spend more money and provide recommendations that will bring in even more business.
• Lead Generation: The right blogging strategies can result in lead generation that starts with an interest in the company and ends with a purchase.

An effective corporate blogging strategy can also position a business as an expert. Demonstrating thought leadership in its particular area allows the company to build brand credibility and show readers what makes their business better than others.

How to measure the success of a blog

In order for a blog to be successful, it must provide results above and beyond getting the content published on the website. Measuring success is an important aspect of any blogging strategy. This includes tracking things like:

• Visits from search engines
• Number of total visits
• Amount of visitors who sign up for an email list
• Percentage of visitors who make a purchase

However, the purpose of corporate blogging will dictate what needs to be measured. For example, if the purpose of the blog is engagement, either internal or external, total visits should be measured. If lead generation is the goal, a company should avoid tracking total visits and instead track the number of new visitors who sign up for an email list.
