Add a comments section to your blog to grow and nurture your community.

Blogs aren't just a great way to share your expertise. They can also be used to create community and improve SEO. Enable comments in your blog to grow and connect with your audience.

Having a comments section in your blog may directly impact your search rankings. It also increases dwell time. And we know that Google crawls comments, which means each comment can help you rank for more keywords. In fact, Neil Patel found that 16% of his search traffic came from comments. Perhaps even more importantly, though, a comment section builds community. You can get to know your audience, build rapport, and learn from them. Comments can provide instant feedback, inspiration for new content, and even social proof. The tradeoff is that you'll need to respond to comments, weed out the spam, remove broken links, and so on. And that's not so bad while your audience is still small. Just remember to start a conversation by asking a question at the end of your articles.
