What's the point of my blog?

[HeatherBakerTopLine]

My website, www.toplinecomms.com has a reasonably good blog that gets quite good interaction and sharing. I introduced the blog at the start of 2013 because the general sentiment from all the SEO books and articles I had read was that a good blog could be invaluable to a search marketing campaign.

The posts on the blog are keyword optimised and they get great shares and social engagement.

However, I have noticed that the blog is stealing my services' pages' thunder! There are some keywords that I am keen for our services pages to rank for, but the blog is beating them to it!

So my question is: How should I be using my blog to get my services pages to rank higher?

If your blog content is being stolen - report a DMCA complaint on that blog. ! However do not do keyword stuffing !

One of the reason why businesses should have blog is to rank on the keywords that they want to target. It's a great news that your blog articles are ranking on the keywords that you want to target and now what you need to do - that's actually what you should be doing when you create the blog - have a link or an image that would take users to relevant services pages.

Lots of my informative content outranks product pages.

I place "house ads" on the informative content pages that deliver traffic to the store.  Also links in my informative content pages go to product pages in the store.

I find that my informative content pages compete in search much more effectively than product pages.  They don't convert as well but they get a lot more traffic, so I am still a winner.

House ads can have a very high CTR because they are perfectly matched to the article content.  And the conversion rate of people directed to your store with house ads can also be fantastic compared to the conversion rate of other traffic.

I took a peek at a couple of your blog posts and didn't see anything that was linking back to the services that those posts may be ranking for.  Would be a good idea that when you are making a post that relates to one of your services to link back to that service page.
