Identify whether it is a list type blog post or a blog post about a product/service?
A list type blog post title would look like: 'X trends for the workplace in 2018'
A product/service focused blog post title would look like: 'Why your business needs Office 365'
If it is neither of these then make sure you identify the focus of the blog post before you begin your research to avoid wasted research time.
