The holidays are here, and while most folks are decking the halls, Google’s busy checking its lists … twice. Getting on the Nice List isn’t about good behavior, though—it’s earned by businesses that keep their websites alive and their customers engaged. So, if your company’s been letting its blog or email marketing hibernate like a sugar-plum-stuffed bear, now’s the time to wake it up.
Let’s take some time to “unwrap” why consistent blogging and customer emails are two of the best stocking stuffers you can give your digital marketing.
A steady stream of blogs tells Google, “Hey, we’re open for business and part of the conversation.” Every new post adds a fresh page for search engines to crawl and customers to discover—like hanging a shiny new ornament on your online presence.
Why the Google elves love it:
Think of blogging as your ongoing conversation with both Google and your customers. It shows you’re active, knowledgeable and ready to help—like that one reliable neighbor who’s always got an extra set of lights and an extension cord.
Now, while blogs help Google find you, email marketing helps customers remember you. When you send a thoughtful, well-timed email, you’re staying in touch the same way you’d send a holiday card—only this one links directly to your newest post or special offers.
Even though Google doesn’t scan your inbox like it does the web, those email clicks still matter. Every time a reader opens your email, visits your site or reads your blog, it sends powerful engagement signals that boost your overall visibility.
How the workshop stays connected:
Think of your email list as your own personal sleigh ride. You decide where to go, who to reach and how to deliver messages that make people smile, think and, most importantly, click.
Here’s where the real magic happens. Blogging and emailing aren’t competing reindeer—they’re the dynamic duo of digital marketing.
It’s the digital equivalent of caroling door to door: You spread cheer, remind people you’re around and leave a warm impression that lasts far beyond December.
And don’t underestimate the data you get in return. Your email metrics and web analytics reveal who’s opening, clicking and actually sticking around to read—so you can see which topics and formats your audience truly values and use that insight to shape a smarter, more effective content strategy.
While your competitors are packing up their decorations and closing out their marketing calendars, you can use this season to build momentum. Publish one more blog before year’s end. Send a quick “Happy Holidays” email that links to your latest how-to post.
You don’t need to go full Santa mode—just show up consistently. Because when you do, your brand stays visible, your audience stays engaged and your analytics stay merry and bright.
Getting noticed by Google is one thing; staying visible is another. Consistency is what keeps your business trusted and top of search. If Google handed out gold stars and silver bells for engagement, they’d go to businesses that keep posting, sharing and connecting. Staying visible isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being present. Pun intended!
The holidays come and go, but building relationships lasts forever. Keep the conversation going through consistent blogs and thoughtful emails that help your company shine long past the season.
