Well, get atleast 25-30 articles, and you must have human written content no AI content, and target with smaller long tail keywords as per the industry and try LLM SEO with that content and share in different channels too. You can generate traffic through social media as well..
30 to 50 are ideal, but they must be on search intent not just random ones. Also you will need to update them twice a week, while making new ones consistently and DON'T QUIT. If it takes 3 to 6 months constantly working on your site you will definitely WIN in the end. Also do proper internal linking and try to get guest posts from highly authoritative, relevant sites to your own from day 1 and you'll be golden. Good luck!
Well, I have seen people are now interested in food and health topics, mainly if you do short videos and upload that with your content in your website people will like that and in both ways you will generate traffic..
In my pov , however, article count is but one piece of a larger puzzle. A blog can began generating traffic with just 20 relevant pieces of content on the condition that it addresses a particular cluster of topics, where as 100 articles that are nor related to one another may fail to achieve anything.i typically examine whether or not the pages generate impressionns and fill the voids for the topic.
