This is a really helpful guide with a lot of insights, curious how it might be different now with higher adoption of AI and changes to SERPs.

The #1 focus is on blog - and I feel this is something that has remained true since the introduction of Inbound, but I think there's a real miss when the focus is on blog specifically and not new content creation. 

For example, a highly effective strategy for building a Knowledge Base around solving for the customer and SEO can be just as valuable, if not more, than a traditional blog.

A lot of companies that don't write blogs aren't writing blogs because they don't have new content to share, there are hundreds of "reasons" why companies don't think a blog is the right fit.

While a "blog" tool is a great way to organize and collect content, there are a lot of challenges related to blogs that many businesses use to justify not starting or continuing a traditional blog (low subscriber counts, shifting the focus to newsletter/blog subscribers from meaningful conversion paths, consistency, multiple personas, frequency, etc.)

In addition to knowledge bases, technical documentation, frequently asked questions, guides (old gated content), pillar pages, etc. are great ways to introduce new content to your website and with the right SEO strategy can be just as successful as a blog.

A blog is only one way to "feed the Google machine" and I haven't read anything that says a new blog post is more valuable than a new website page or knowledge base article, if the same quality of content is shared.

Would love any insights, opinions, or best practices around "new content creation" vs "blogs" specifically - is there a measurable difference?
