HubSpot's 2025 State of Blogging Report [Data from 500+ Marketers]

Full disclosure, I think my team and I are a little embarrassed. Believe it or not, blogging is kind of our main thing here at The HubSpot BLOG — so the fact that it‘s taken over a decade for us to put together our first-ever report on the state of blogging isn’t the best look.

But hey! As that Chinese proverb says, “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is right now.” That's why we surveyed over 500 marketers across various industries and company scales to get a pulse on the current state and future fate of blogging.

We covered all of the big bases, including:

47% cite it as being very important. 46% cite it as being important. 5% cite it as being neutral. 2% cite it as being less important.

That‘s why blogging remains a pretty significant staple of many marketing orgs’ budgets. According to our research:

24% of marketers from blog-producing businesses say they dedicate less than 10% of their marketing budget to blogging. 31% say they allocate 11-20% to it. 25% say they allocate 21-30% to it. 18% say...

See where blogging stands in 2025.
