4 Blog with an awesome content Blogs help brands for three reasons. Blogs help in ranking your brand in the search engine results. Google prefers unique, relevant and new content which is updated constantly. If you are looking to build your brand ensure your content is your own and provides a new insight on the topic. Blogs are great content to be shared on social media networks. If you are sharing data of your sales count or product information, it is unlikely to get attraction from the public.
