Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a product blog post be?+
800-1,200 words for feature announcements. 1,200-1,800 words for "why we built this" stories or technical deep dives. If your post exceeds 1,800 words, it is probably a guide, not a blog post. Break it into a blog post (the story) and a documentation page (the details).
Should the PM or the product marketer write the blog post?+
The PM writes the first draft because they have the context: the customer problem, the design decisions, and the trade-offs. The product marketer edits for tone, SEO, and audience alignment. The marketer owns the final version. If you do not have a product marketer, have the PM draft and a non-PM colleague edit for clarity.
How do we measure if a product blog post is effective?+
Three metrics. Page views (reach). Time on page (engagement). CTA click-through rate (conversion). A post with high views but low click-through has a weak CTA or a mismatch between the audience the title attracted and the content delivered. Track these alongside [product metrics](/metrics/feature-adoption-rate) for the feature itself.
Should we SEO-optimize product blog posts?+
Yes. Product blog posts are some of the highest-converting organic content because they target readers with purchase intent. Optimize the title for a keyword your prospects search for (e.g., "real-time collaboration dashboard tool" not "DataSync v2.4 Release"). Include the keyword in the H1, first paragraph, and meta description.
How do we handle product blog posts for features that require a paid plan?+
Be upfront about availability. Include a line in the feature description: "Available on Team and Enterprise plans." Do not bury plan requirements at the bottom. Readers who discover the feature is not available to them at the end of the post feel misled. ---
