How often should a fencing company blog?

I own a fencing company. I wrote six blog posts in one weekend: fence installation tips, wood vs. vinyl, local permit rules. Then I got busy with jobs. A year passed without a new post. Now my phone is quiet and I'm not sure if blogging even helps. I just need a straight answer on how often a fencing contractor should publish.

You published a burst of fencing articles, then stopped. Google noticed. A site that doesn't change looks like a business that may have closed. Fencing searches are competitive. Homeowners look for fence repair, gate installation, and material comparisons every day. Fresh content signals you're still active. A one-time push doesn't fool the algorithm. It rewards steady publishing over time.

The scope depends on your market. If you serve multiple towns, you need more articles to cover each area. A fencing company in a big metro needs more than one in a small town. The real cost is time, not money. Each article takes a few hours if you write it yourself. Hiring a writer costs less than a single lost lead. The bigger your service list, the more pages you'll need to keep fresh.

Start this week. Don't write ten posts at once. Commit to one article per month, on the same day. Pick a fencing topic a customer asks about: gate repair, pool fence safety, winterizing a wooden fence. Or let a service like Forget Leads handle the writing and schedule. They send you articles for approval each month, and they link into your fencing and town pages. That keeps Google seeing a live site.

Months later, your fencing site gets steady traffic from people searching questions you already answered. You're not chasing leads; they call you because your article showed up. The phone rings with fence jobs you don't have to buy. And you never have to wonder about blog frequency again because the rhythm is set.
