Most businesses aren’t bad at blogging because they’re lazy.

They’re bad at blogging because no one ever told them what blogs are actually for.

Hi, I’m Nikki Pilkington. My site is https://nikki-pilkington.com/ and in this episode of "SEO F**king What", I’m talking about one of the biggest SEO mistakes I see every single week.

Business blogs that read like diaries, newsletters, or internal updates… and then the owner wonders why Google ignores them.

This is the episode your marketing agency probably won’t volunteer to send you.

Because it explains why “blog regularly” was never enough, and how years of well-meaning content can actually f**k up your site instead of helping it.

In this episode, I cover:

Why most business blogs get no traffic at all

Why Google can tell when you’re writing for yourself, not searchers

The types of blog posts nobody is actually Googling

How thin, self-serving content hurts your whole site

What crawl budget is and why it matters

How to choose blog topics people are genuinely searching for

Why keyword research isn’t optional

When to rewrite old posts and when to delete them

Where company news should live if you still want to share it

If you’ve been blogging for months or years and seeing nothing come from it, listen to this.

If your blog is full of “exciting news”, “reflections”, or “a message from the CEO”, listen to this.
