Web Content FAQs
How long should a blog post be?
As long as it needs to be to answer the question properly, and no longer. The "2,000 words minimum" advice has produced a decade of padded articles that bury the answer under filler, and Google has got steadily better at spotting them. A focused 800 word post that fully answers one question will outperform a bloated 3,000 word one that half answers five. These guides cover how to judge the right depth for each topic.
What is keyword cannibalisation and why does it matter?
It's when two or more of your own pages target the same search term and end up competing with each other. Google can't decide which to rank, so often neither does well. It's one of the most common problems on business blogs, usually caused by publishing to a schedule rather than to a plan. The guides here cover how to spot it, fix it, and plan content so it doesn't happen in the first place.
Is more blog posts always better for SEO?
No, and this is one of the most expensive myths in content marketing. Publishing volume for its own sake produces thin, overlapping pages that dilute your site rather than strengthen it. Fewer, better pages kept genuinely up to date consistently beat a firehose of mediocre ones. Quality, consolidation and maintenance are recurring themes across this section for exactly that reason.
Should I update old content or write new posts?
Updating usually wins, and it's the most underused tactic in content. An existing page has age, links and ranking history that a new post starts without — refreshing it with current information often lifts rankings within weeks, where a new page might take months. The best content strategies do both, but if you only have time for one, start by improving what you already have.
