The 3 content types that actually convert

  • Money pages — service × city landing pages with one offer and one form.
  • Buying-intent Q&A — cost, timeline, warranty, comparison pages.
  • Trust content — case studies with before/after, real names, real numbers.

How often to publish

Two solid posts per month beats eight thin ones. Consistency plus depth wins after month 6.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a blog if I already rank locally?

Yes — blog content answers the mid-funnel questions your service pages don't, and each post gives you a place to link internally to the money pages.

Can I use AI to write content?

For drafts, yes. Ship nothing without a human edit that adds real numbers, local specifics, and Chris-level author attribution.
