“Is there a difference between articles and blogs?”

I’m often guilty of swapping the word “article” for the phrase “blog post” myself, however, there are essential differences between the two.

Should You Use Articles or Blogs on your Website? – How to Choose

Generating quality content is an investment in your business and field of expertise. 


Tips on Deciding What's Best for Your Business:

Articles: If your business is affected by changes in the latest rules and laws, and it is necessary for your clients to be up-to-date, then articles on your site is a better option. Attorney, finance, contractors and insurance companies often contain articles for this very reason.

Blogs: If you want to be thought of as a leader in your field, and build a relationship with readers, you’re better off blogging. 


You may do both as the messaging may be similar but the style it is written and roll out strategy may be different along with the target market it is written for.
