I am looking for ways to improve blog conversions. There has been a lot of changes in how people see blogs, especially due to the use of AI chat bots like ChatGPT. I am a content writer and I am thinking of how I can get the most out of blogs.

Currently I do everything like optimising the blogs for query fan-out, SEO optimisation and GEO optimisation. But I still need to get more traffic and also conversions directly from the blog. Being realistic, I know that there is no silver bullet and that a lot of improvements are needed. I am also trying to learn more. So please help me?

I want your opinion on what you prefer the most. Would like to know what you think about CTA, blog structure and blog UI. Has anyone experiment with it.

Thank you so much :)

I started my blogging journey(Likizo Travel Blog) on 21st January 2025. My niche is travel specifically in Africa focusing on Safari, Cities, and Tips. My website has 132 blogs.

I thought by the time my blog was one year old, it would have at least 1K visitors per month. But currently here are the statistics:

1.Google search console in 6 months

- Clicks- 81

- Impressions - 20.5 K

- Average position - 58.5

2. Bing webmaster in 6 months

- Clicks - 222

- Impressions - 31.7 K

3. Google Analytics in the last 30 days

- Sessions - 556

- New users - 193

I had made several mistakes like no schema, poor topical authority, poor linking strategy and poor EEAT. But all of the above mistakes have been corrected in the last 6 to 3 months.

When I was starting up blogging, the only blogging website I could figure out was Blogger. I started seven months ago, for context, and I also have TBI, so the extra screen time in building a fancy blog is difficult.

Do you think that it's worth it, blogging on Blogger, even though it's older and maybe not as aesthetically pleasing? Also, as a side note, I'd love to hear feedback about my blog. So if any of you are interested in giving me some pointers, especially about SEO on my titles and such, I would really, really appreciate it.

Anyway, I'm pretty discouraged right now because I feel like I have a pretty tricky niche to work within, not a broad audience, paired with not being on social media so much because of TBI and the older Blogger format. Do I have any chance to grow...? Should I keep pushing forward, am I doing the right thing?
