Preaching to the masses
My SEO guy has asked me to do one of those 'preachy' blog posts about what you should do when booking your Wedding DJ.
I really hate those posts, but he's the expert so I'm not going to spend all morning working out how to put my own spin on it.

Who doesn't love a good FUD blog post? (FUD == Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt)
I'm guessing you asked why he thinks it's necessary - if it's 'because DJs A, B, C, D thru Z do it' is that really a good reason? The best other reason I can think of is it's another way to make 'reasons to book me' text.

Something about "link building and anything that is helpful or informative that someone like a customer would find useful" was the reason given.
(*I made a typo in my opening post - I meant I am now going to spend all morning working on it)
Meh. I guess it's a challenge for me to come up with a way to add a Benny spin on this kind of thing.

SEO is not about one post.
It's about regular content, and a distribution method to achieve links back to the website.
For real SEO, you'd need to create a content schedule - at a minimum one decent length (1,000 word) post a month.
Plus guest blog posts on other websites - all with unique content.

Disco Dude!
I've tried to do this before and will admit I hated it. I highly doubt many DJs out there have done this so once it's out there and being picked up it could be quite an effective boost.
Guess there's nothing to lose!

I see it a lot. Usually it's something along the lines of
Make sure they're willing to meet you
Make sure they're insured
Make sure they have a registered business
Check their reviews
Check for evidence
Make sure they PAT their equipment
Make sure they turn up wearing a sparkling tux
Don't book residents they're all cowboys!
Etc
Most I've seen make for dismal reading & seems like negative marketing aka spreading fear, uncertainty & doubt.
What I think they should be doing is letting the customer know the kind of ride they're in for & telling the customer how to get the best out of their booking. To get the best results there's often more involved than merely making the booking & them turning up on the day. But customers may not realise that...

Not too dissimilar to the path I've taken.

Not my usual sort of thing, but I hope it's informative but different to all the other schmucks.

That's very you though. I like that a lot.
Btw so much for banning the word 'disco'. Did you act on advice or... What changed your mind?
I'm asking cos I'd LOVE to banish it from my own site. And from customers vocabulary!

I still VERY MUCH use the word disco.
It's what customer's are still using (I turned up on Saturday to "Oh - you must be the disco man"
As much as we hate it....it's what they call us and if it means an extra point on SEO - I'm using it
