Why Law Firms Struggle with Content

Bar Association Rules Limit Content

State bar advertising rules restrict what you can say, how you can say it, and where you can say it. Every blog post, video, and social update needs ethical review. Without a compliant content framework, firms either publish nothing or risk disciplinary action.

Attorneys Are Too Busy to Create Content

Lawyers bill by the hour. Every hour spent writing blog posts or recording videos is an hour not spent on billable work. Without a strategy that minimizes attorney time while maximizing their expertise, your content lacks the legal authority clients are looking for.

Competing with LegalZoom and Avvo for Rankings

Legal directories, LegalZoom, Avvo, and FindLaw dominate search results for broad legal terms. Without a focused content strategy targeting niche practice areas, local markets, and specific legal scenarios, your firm gets buried beneath aggregator sites that spend millions on SEO.

How We Build Law Firm Content Strategies

01

Legal Content Audit

We analyze your existing content against competitors, map content gaps by practice area and client journey stage, and identify quick wins. We also audit your ethical compliance workflow to find bottlenecks slowing content production and flag any content that may not meet current bar standards.

02

Client Journey Mapping

We build detailed client personas for each practice area, mapping their legal questions, concerns, and decision triggers at every stage. This becomes the foundation for content that meets prospective clients where they are, from initial legal question to consultation booking to case retention.

03

Content Calendar & Compliance Review

We deliver a 3-6 month editorial calendar organized by practice area, topic cluster, and platform. Each piece includes keyword targets, bar compliance notes, and a streamlined ethical review process that gets content published without weeks of delays.

04

KPI Framework & Optimization

We establish measurable KPIs tied to client acquisition, organic traffic, and content engagement. Monthly or weekly reporting shows what is working, and we continuously optimize the strategy based on real performance data and consultation conversion rates.

Yes. Every content strategy we build for law firm clients includes bar-compliant content guidelines, ethical advertising protocols for case studies and testimonials, compliant social media policies, and review workflows that account for state-specific bar association rules.

Law firms working with our content strategy typically see 3.2x content ROI within 6-12 months, a 47% increase in organic traffic, and a 23% shorter client acquisition cycle. The key driver is replacing ad-hoc content with a systematic approach that targets high-intent keywords, builds topical authority in your practice areas, and nurtures prospects through the decision journey from initial legal question to consultation booking.
Our content strategy minimizes attorney time while maximizing their expertise. We use 30-minute monthly interviews to extract attorney insights, then our team develops those into full content pieces. Attorneys review and approve final drafts rather than writing from scratch. Most attorneys spend less than 2 hours per month on content with our streamlined workflow.
Yes. Rather than competing head-to-head with legal directories on broad terms, we build strategies that target niche practice areas, local markets, and specific legal scenarios where your expertise gives you an advantage. By building topical authority in focused areas, law firms consistently outrank aggregators for the high-intent keywords that actually drive consultations and retained clients.
