FAQ

• What is the ideal length for a blog post?

   

  There’s no standard formula for calculating blog post length. It largely depends on variables such as the complexity of the subject matter, strategic objectives and level of detail. If you can say what you want to say in less than 1,000 words, there’s no need to add meaningless filler just to lengthen the post. But in general, longer, more comprehensive blog posts attract more traffic and get better results.

  That said, the most effective blog posts for SEO are over 2,000 words. Posts of this length are favoured by both users and search engines. In the end, the more useful your content is to the reader, the more inbound marketing success you’ll have. And content that’s well-researched and informative tends to be longer and more detailed. Good writers will also deliver posts that rank for multiple related keywords.

• Should you try to make a blog post as long as possible?

   

  Even longer articles have been shown to have greater viral potential as readers have a higher tendency to share posts containing more than 3,000 words. However, Google’s algorithm also has a say in what constitutes added value for the reader. It gives higher SERP rankings to websites featuring “helpful content” written for people rather than search engines. So while text length is important, there’s no point in increasing the number of words in a post by adding meaningless filler. In other words, length is no substitute for high-quality content.

• Why should you pay for blog writing services?

   

  While blogs are certainly a cost-effective way to increase traffic from major search engines, they require a commitment in terms of time and effort. Maintaining a good blog also means posting on a consistent schedule and offering high quality, well-researched content and informative, relevant topics. Every time.

  Even if you have the skills and resources to do all of this, you may not always have the time between running your business, troubleshooting, and dealing with customers. Or you might simply prefer to focus on your operations. For many reasons, it makes sense to entrust the writing to experts and find someone who can speak in your voice. And kontextor can be that voice for you.

• What can you expect from kontextor’s blog writing services?

   

  When you outsource blog writing to kontextor, you’re not just buying content. You get all the expertise you need from a single source, including content management and strategy, SEO, keyword research and more. Our writers understand SEO and are skilled at creating strategically optimised posts that consistently rank and convert while engaging audiences. With an eye for detail, the latest industry trends and specific knowledge of your market and target audience, they deliver expertly edited and engaging content that you couldn’t have written better yourself.

  It will only take you an hour or less to brief our team – after that, you can leave the rest to us. In addition to the copywriting, we can also manage your blog as a full service, including topic planning and publishing in your content management system. All that’s left for you to do is approve our proposals and copywriting.

• Is it better to translate a blog post or write it in the target language?

   

  Our customers sometimes ask us when it’s better to translate/transcreate a blog post and when it’s advantageous to create original content directly in the target languages and markets. We assess the objectives of each individual project and, depending on the topic, depth, sociocultural and linguistic specificities, complexity and scale, recommend the most effective approach for you.

  We can also help you select the best target languages for your translations and decide whether the text needs to be adapted to the cultural and linguistic sensibilities of the audience. The latter process is referred to as “transcreation,” in which the text is reshaped to convey its original concept, meaning and intent. The native speakers in our international talent pool have the appropriate cultural background, so you can rely on them to get it right.

• How long does it take to produce a blog post?

   

  Our content teams are highly flexible and can easily adapt and scale our processes to your needs. Once we receive the initial brief, our project managers will propose a delivery date based on the desired volume of content and the required research.

  For a blog post of 1,500 to 2,000 words, we allocate about one day for copywriting and an additional 1 to 2 hours for proofreading, editing and quality control. Complex topics that involve more research require a bit more time. It’s worth keeping in mind that a precise project brief with clearly defined objectives, target groups and tone of voice can significantly reduce the amount of time needed to produce a blog post.

• What makes a good blog post?

   

  A good blog post starts with a compelling headline and introduction that draw the reader in and make a strong first impression. From there, the content should include relevant keywords to ensure it ranks well on Google, along with other elements that help with SEO, such as descriptions, lists and relevant user information. High-quality posts are generally more detailed and aimed at a specific audience. These are just some of the keys to our approach when creating blog content for our customers.

  Overall, the post should be clearly structured, with sections introduced by informative headings and subheadings that allow the readers to home in on specific aspects of the topic. The placement of keywords in headings and subheadings is also a key factor in successful SEO optimisation.

• Which blog posts generate the most user satisfaction?

   

  In addition to high-quality content, various design options, media, images and other visual elements, such as lists and tables, can be used to create an engaging and memorable reader experience. Texts, graphics and videos that convey similar content are not considered “duplicate content” in SEO terms. Instead, they actually serve to increase the relevance of the topic.

  The best blog posts will answer a query without the need for the reader to consult additional sources of information. Which means your content should be designed to help your target audience in some way. If it doesn’t, it’s not going to be considered helpful by Google, and it won’t be reflected in your SERP rankings. In other words, your content should always be relevant to your target group‘s queries.

• What is kontextor’s pricing model for blog writing services?

   

  Our blog writing services are based on a sensible pricing model. Instead of offering the cheapest price per word or a low project rate, we apply fair pricing that leverages our experience and saves you money. We charge an hourly rate for the actual time spent on your project, and our expertise means you’re paying for quality, not just quantity.

• How much does kontextor charge for blog content?

   

  As skilled blog writers and content specialists, we know how to provide realistic cost estimates and rarely exceed the specified budget. By delivering excellent content up front, we save you time on revisions and corrections, which also keeps costs in check. The price itself depends on a number of factors, such as the complexity of the subject matter, the amount of preliminary research and the required level of detail, all of which we discuss with each client individually.

  In line with these specifications, we’ll provide you with a cost estimate for your approval. Once you confirm your order, we can deliver the finalised, SEO-optimised blog post within 2 to 3 weeks. For international projects including translations, we require an additional 10 to 14 days.

• What other services does kontextor offer?

   

  In addition to blog writing, kontextor offers many other language and content-related services, including translation/transcreation, copy for landing pages and websites, SEO texts, transcriptions, subtitles and more.
