Blogging is a powerful inbound marketing tool not just because it helps you educate prospective customers. Blogging also provides search engines with fuel they love: fresh and original content. In our State of Inbound Marketing Report , we discovered that companies with more indexed website pages generate more leads on a monthly basis. Blogging is one of the best ways to help a business add more indexed pages, boost search engine traffic, and therefore, generate more leads.
