In this post, we will give you lots of ideas on spa blog topics to generate traffic to your blog at no cost!
The world of digital marketing may be completely alien to you. But your passion and knowledge in the health and beauty world is your key to success.
To be competitive in this day and age you must have a strong online presence- beginning with your website.
Many successful spas and salons all share their news, expertise and entertain with their audience via a blog.
First of all, maintaining an up to date online presence is vital to keeping up with the competition.
Your potential customers will not only judge your online activity, but they will compare it to your competition. The website with the most persuasive and active online presence will sway votes in their favour.
Your online activity will tell your audience a story about your brand and image.
Your blog is where you can provide your customers and followers with a place to engage and be educated in your expertise! But more importantly, your blog is where you will be able to use SEO techniques to drive traffic to your website over competition.
The most important factor in getting high rankings on Google is to use keywords effectively, through a marketing strategy called Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).
People will follow someone who knows what they are talking about. Your spa blog will be recommended and gain a reputation for having knowledge in the health and beauty industry.
People will pay more or be willing to travel further for better results. And better results often come with industry experts.
You need a platform to share your expertise and professional knowledge and what better way to do this than through your online presence?
The most important thing when deciding to start a blog for your spa is to decide on your target audience or your ‘buyer persona’. Each time you create a piece of marketing content, create it with your buyer persona in mind.
Does your audience want educational content? Entertaining? Informative?
An easy way to determine this is to look at your niche.
For a wellness spa revolving around holistic treatments and relaxation, your buyer persona is likely to be someone who looks after their health and well-being.
Or if you're a cosmetic spa or salon, your clientele may be more interested in ways they can maintain a youthful complexion.
The key to using SEO techniques is to write about topics that include keywords your audience is searching.
We ran a quick check on the topic ‘reduce wrinkles’ for the purpose of this blog post, and we can see the most common questions asked by people around reducing wrinkles.

This is a great way to write topics that match the exact phrases your audience are looking for. It also shows the volume of searches per month. So the keyword phrase ‘how to reduce wrinkles’ is searched for 260 times a month.
By plugging as many of these related keywords as throughout your post, you’ll improve your SEO score and people will likely click on your content for answers on their problems.
Over time, your audience will learn to view you as an expert and naturally turn to your services in the future.
Try out Keywords Everywhere, SEM Rush or even Answer the Public for some tools to find related keyword questions to your blog topics.
Remember to write content that is either educational, entertaining or informational.
Here’s a quick list to give you ideas, combined with the application of the above steps.
A CTA (click through action) is usually at the end of a blog post or where you see applicable. But you want to lead your audience to another area on your website.
'Book here’, 'subscribe to our blog', or even a link to another blog post are some examples.
