WHAT IS A BLOG CATEGORY, AND WHY DO THEY MATTER?

Blog categories help to attract the audience that is interested and can gain value from your content. They allow you to accurately organize your website, which helps your readers find the information they seek. In many ways, blog categories are like a table of contents – designed to lead your visitors where they would like to go.

Table of Contents

WHAT IS A BLOG CATEGORY?

A blog category is a subject or topic that is addressed or explored on your blog. For example, if you are blogging a med spa, you may have a category for med spa services, one for treatment experiences and reviews, and another for the products used in med spas. Your categories should be broad enough to allow you to further detail the subject in your post.

Blog categories add the necessary structure to your blog. They help organize individual and unique posts under various main topics. These high-level subjects make it easier for visitors to navigate your site and get a clear and concise understanding of what they can find on your site.

Why do blog categories matter?

Blog categories are essential to keeping your visitors on your platform and engaged with your content. Category organization helps your visitors find what they are looking for and enjoy a better user experience ensuring they will continue to come back and consume your content. Blog categories are the simplest way for visitors to navigate your site. This ease of navigation is critical as poor site design can lead to your audience leaving.

Search engine optimization (SEO)

Blog categories also improve your site’s SEO, which we all know is the holy grail of digital marketing. Using blog categories, you add hierarchy to your pages, which helps search engines better grasp your page’s information and content. When a search engine can effectively navigate your page, you rank higher. Blog categories also make it easier for you to manage your strategy and deliver content consistently. With well-organized blog categories, you essentially create a guide that tells you what to write about and when to write it. Keeping your categories organized helps the blogs from falling into a single chaotic category.

Every blog is unique and requires different strategies and structures to keep it user-friendly and running well, so proper blog categories should always have a place in your strategic plan.
