40 Blog Topic Ideas for Home Inspectors in 2022

Blogging is hard. But it can be worth it.

Blogging can be equated to farming: it can take trial and error and a few seasons to see your crops grow, but once you start seeing results it can be a game changer.

Is blogging even worth the trouble in 2022?

Most people know that your blog can lead to you being found online, as search engines are likely to place your site higher in search results if you have relevant content. Home inspectors are often discouraged by the thought of a long, uphill battle against websites with thousands of articles. But blogs are versatile enough that you can effectively use a blog and have little interest in SEO. Here's a few ways home inspectors might use their blog outside SEO:

Content for a mailing list

A person's email is a powerful tool, and sending someone a local specific blog article from time to time helps remind them you're there.

Social Media

A blog post that you write out can easily become the script for a weeks worth of social media posts.

Guest posts

You can always write a blog post and then ask a local publication if you can feature it on their website.
