    How to Use Your Blog to Improve SEO

    Create a Compelling Title

    Be thoughtful about your blog’s name. Ideally, it should include the keywords you want to target and the information you will be sharing.

Trulia, a destination for real estate listings and rental properties, has a blog called Home Searching Made Simple.

    Focus on a Specific Audience

Your two audiences include patients and their loved ones. You could write some blogs for recovering addicts and some for the families and friends of addicts. Segmenting your audience and writing unique blog posts is an effective way to connect with readers and work in your target keywords.
