Does a Startup Website Need a Blog?

The short answer

Only if you will keep it up. A blog earns search traffic, gives AI assistants something to quote and shows the company is active. A blog with three posts from last year does the opposite. Start when someone owns it.

A startup blog at a glance

• Worth it when: Someone can publish at least twice a month
• What it earns: Search traffic, AI citations and sales material
• Skip for now if: Nobody owns it
• Good first posts: Answers to the questions buyers ask on sales calls

What to publish

• Answers. One question per post.
• Comparisons. How you differ from the alternatives.
• Customer stories. Named, with results.
• Original data. Numbers only you have.
• Product news. Launches and changelogs.

What to avoid

• Generic posts written only for keywords.
• Posts with no author or date.
• Ten posts in a month, then nothing.
