You don't need a content team or a big budget to drive organic traffic. You need a focused strategy and consistency.

Start With What You Know

The best content comes from your expertise. What questions do your customers ask you every day? Those are your first blog topics.

Finding Topics

  • >Customer questions — what do people email you about?
  • >Competitor gaps — what are competitors not covering?
  • >Keyword research — what are people searching for in your niche?

feen-seo's content strategy report identifies these opportunities automatically.

The Minimum Viable Content Plan

For a small business, aim for:

  • >2 posts per month — quality over quantity
  • >1,000-1,500 words — thorough but not exhausting
  • >One target keyword per post — stay focused
  • >Internal links — connect related posts

Content That Ranks

Structure Matters

  • >Use a clear H1 title with your target keyword
  • >Break content into sections with H2 and H3 headings
  • >Include a summary or key takeaways
  • >Add relevant images with alt text

Write for Humans First

Search engines are sophisticated enough to understand natural language. Write clearly and helpfully — don't stuff keywords.

Measuring Results

Track these metrics monthly:

MetricWhat It Tells You
