Does a site with only one blog post a month rank alright?

I manage multiple websites and want to start new ones but want to know if one blog post a month is acceptable for SEO since I'm worried about rank.

Hi there,

The posting frequency is not that relevant as the content of the page you are posting. I wouldnt worry that much about strictly posting once a month.

My advice here is to focus on content, give users the content they are looking for when searching on Google.
This could be a good moment to refresh and have a deep reading on the beginner's guide to SEO - Moz and also to what google officially says in their Search Engine Optimization (SEO) starter guide - Google Search Console.

Hope it helps, best luck.

If your one post per month is the best post on the internet for its topic then you might be able to compete in a sleepy to semi-sleepy niche.  If there is meaningful competition, then you will probably not get very far.

Twenty years ago, when the internet was new and competition was not stiff, I used to have a lot of sites.  Today I have three and have three people helping me every day.  These people are not noobs.  We are doing great, but we are in the fight of our lives.

You must have enough writing talent and the resources to be competitive in your niche.  Search for the keywords for which you want to compete and look WHO is there.  Those are the people or companies that you must beat.  Can you do it?  Can you beat their content and their posting volume?  If you look and you think you can beat them then go for it.  But the more projects you have running the less competitive you are going to be in any one of them.

If I was starting out, I would put all of my effort into the site that best matches my expertise and talent.  When I get it kicking ass then I would think about a second site, but then only realizing that working on the second site puts my first site at risk.
