Tips for writing great posts that increase your site traffic

Jared Swift • December 30, 2025

Write about something you know. If you don’t know much about a specific topic that will interest your readers, invite an expert to write about it.

Speak to your audience

You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about


Take a few moments to plan your post

Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.


Don’t forget to add images

Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.


Edit carefully before posting

Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.

Kansas City is famous for its charming, historic neighborhoods. From the bungalows of Waldo to the mid-century ranches of Prairie Village and Overland Park, our city is full of homes with character. But while we love the architecture of the past, there is one part of these homes that simply wasn't built for the future: The Electrical Panel. Think about life in 1970. A "high-tech" home had a color TV, a refrigerator, a few incandescent light bulbs, and maybe a window AC unit. The average electrical service size was 60 or 100 amps, which was plenty. Fast forward to 2026. You have central air conditioning, a specialized wine fridge, two large smart TVs, laptops plugged in for remote work, a Peloton, and maybe a Tesla or Rivian plugged into the garage. You are trying to push a 21st-century lifestyle through a 20th-century funnel. At Pure Light Electric, panel upgrades (often called a "Heavy Up") are one of our most common services. It is the single most important safety and infrastructure upgrade you can make. In this ultimate guide, we will break down everything KC homeowners need to know about their breaker boxes.

Did you treat yourself to a new Electric Vehicle (EV) over the holidays? Or maybe you are planning to buy one with your tax return this year. Congratulations! Driving past gas stations in Overland Park feels great. But there is one reality check every new EV owner faces: Charging Anxiety. If you are trying to charge your new car using the standard 3-prong plug that came with it (Level 1 charging), you know the struggle. It adds about 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. That means if you drive a lot today, your car won't be full tomorrow. At Pure Light Electric, we help Kansas City drivers ditch the "trickle charge" and upgrade to a true home charging station.
