70: Wedding Blog Ideas That Actually Work (And Why Blogging for SEO Still Matters in 2026)

Blogging is dead, or so they say. But what if the wedding pros quietly ranking on Google (and now AI search) are the ones who never stopped?
In this solo episode, I cut through the noise on whether blogging still matters in 2026, and spoiler: it does. I break down my go-to blogging process, the three types of wedding blog posts worth writing right now, and why a few deeply intentional posts will always beat a forced posting schedule you can't keep up with. If you've been putting off starting a blog or wondering why your current posts aren't ranking, this one's for you.
Key takeaways:
- Why AI searches are actually making unique human perspectives more valuable, not less
- The three blog buckets that still perform: real weddings, educational content, and opinion pieces
- The step-by-step blogging process I use with my own clients
- Why your website blog deserves more energy than Substack right now
- Listen in, and grab the free resource in the show notes for hundreds of wedding blog ideas tailored to your vendor type.
