Direct Answer
Yes if you want SEO traffic, no if you only run paid ads. HubSpot's 2023 marketing report found businesses that publish 16+ blog posts per month get 3.5x more traffic than those publishing 0–4. For service businesses, even 2 well-researched posts per month can compound into the dominant local-SEO asset within 12 months.

“Yes if you want organic SEO traffic. Two well-researched posts a month can compound into a dominant local SEO asset.”
Quality beats quantity. A single 2,500-word service-area page with schema and citations will outperform 20 thin 400-word posts.
Skip the blog if your entire growth model is referrals plus paid ads — you'll get more lift from CRO and ad creative testing.
