This video (which I think is republished) is a bit misleading when it speaks of blogging frequency.
TLDR: A higher blog content frequency with good content is better for multiple reasons.
Most might focus on frequency instead of content quality, so I get the point there.
But what’s misleading is suggesting people can post 2-3x a month and expect real growth.
The topics shown in the video are virtually impossible for any new or low growth blog to compete. That site shown most likely has a ton of authority to begin with (most likely from writing a lot of good content).
Usually those 2-3 articles are core/pillar/cornerstone articles and are in-depth enough to cover the topic fully — just to compete.
It’s more challenging if you’re not in a tight niche. You’ll typically target more specific topics to gain traction and that's different than a core/pillar/cornerstone topic.
"How to lose weight fast" is a HUGE topic and the competitiveness matches that as well — good luck competing on that.
If you have the capacity to write content you’re an expert on more frequently that’s better than the top 3 pages, then that should be your goal.
Bigger brands like Ahrefs and the site referenced have the capacity to lean on existing content, and if that’s you, then you’re probably not watching this video to begin with.
They also have the sustainability to weather dips and wait for returns over a smaller business that needs blog growth to continue running.
If you misfire on 2 of the 3 blog posts because of misaligned search intent or missing the downward trend, that’s very risky.
I'd also imagine Google will have a better understanding of what your brand is about if you're giving it a deeper level of content so it understands who you are topically and how much of an authority you are on those topics.
At the end of the day, it's all about helping your audience solve their problems. If you can do that better than everyone else consistently, you'll find growth.

As a follower of your blog for the past 4 years, I have to say it has gotten so much better over the last 2 years! Add to that your YouTube channel and Ahrefs has taught me so much that I’ve been able to take my small web design side hustle business into a high six figure company. Thank you! Keep up the great work. I plan to be a customer for life!
