With blogs continuing to grow in popularity, more and more people are writing about their hire businesses. Writing a blog can be a great way to establish your authority online, attract search traffic to your site and, in the best cases, get some valuable feedback from your customers.

Here’s our round-up of the 5 best UK hire blogs out there today:

1. topskips.com

A fantastic example of finding great content based around what you might expect to be a dull subject. TopSkips cover plenty of relevant, often light-hearted skip-related stories and news items. Where do they get all their ideas from? A masterpiece in creativity.

2. Avis - We Try Harder

An award-winning blog, written in a friendly, nicely non-corporate way. It’s full of relevant photos, video clips and polls. It has a really good mixture of material and engages its readers very well.

3. LoireChateau.com

OK, so this one’s not strictly British. It’s based in France, but I’m going to include it anyway because of the great photos. Check out their post on Snailing in France for example!

4. Nationwide Vehicle Contracts

This blog from a contract hire company uses a simple format. The posts are mostly describing their latest models and offers. High-quality photos of the cars in question make for an attractive blog.

5. IGOE PA Hire

A straightforward, matter-of-fact record of the jobs they’ve done, listing all the equipment they provided. Simple, but probably effective for bringing in search traffic.
