Content is king when it comes to pushing you high up Google rankings and blogging is an absolutely vital part of that.

Adverts are costly and are only around for a short time but a blog remains on the internet forever and can put you right on the first page of Google – but how many businesses use a professional blogger?

Many don’t because they have no idea what it will cost and some fear they will be charged a fortune.

Well, I’m here to put your mind at rest as Yorkshire-based copywriting and blogging company AH! PR charges from £75 per blog – way less than the vast majority of Google Adwords campaigns which have a very limited lifespan.

AH! PR founder Andy Hirst says: “It’s very hard for businesses to find out how much they will be charged for blogs so I thought I’d make it very transparent to potential clients.

“The charge starts from around £75 depending on how much research is needed and the average length of blogs is usually between 500 and 700 words. I’ll never write a blog before giving a client a fixed price first. It’s an incredible cost-effective way for a business to get its messages out there to potential customers ... and those messages can remain high up on Google for ages.

“A new client was dubious about what a blog could do but after I’d written one for him he immediately wanted me to write for him every month.”

Clients have seen the phenomenal value of blogging as Andy’s work has put them right up to the top of Google – here are just a few examples.

Alternative sandbag company FloodSax is number 2 on Google under the search term ‘wettest places in UK’ which drives hundreds of visitors to its website every week http://www.floodsax.co.uk/news/the-wettest-places-in-the-uk-revealed-and-why-the-people-who-live-there-need-floodsax-alternative-sandbags-for-flood-protection/

Industrial tanker company Qualitech Environmental Services saw its blog on fin fan cleaning go from nowhere to number 2 on Google in less than 2 weeks https://www.qualitechservices.co.uk/services/fin-fan-cleaning

The search term ‘what is velvet used for’ saw Andy’s blog for the Yorkshire Fabric Shop soar to number 2 on Google and it’s been there for months https://www.yorkshirefabricshop.com/post/what-is-velvet-used-for
