Blog Posting for Los Angeles Law Firms

Most firm blogs are 500 words of filler published on a schedule nobody set. This is the other kind: fewer posts, chosen from search data, written to rank and to answer the question a client actually typed.

The argument

Publishing more is not the problem, publishing anything worth ranking is

A blog earns traffic when it covers something people search for and covers it better than the pages already ranking. That is the whole test. Volume without that test is just archive. We have audited firm blogs with 90 posts and two ranking keywords between them.

The posts that work for a law firm are rarely the ones that sound impressive. They are the questions a person types at 11pm after a crash: how long do I have to file, will my rates go up, what happens if the other driver has no insurance. Those pages rank, and they bring in the person who is about to call somebody.

Method

Topics come from data

Every topic is picked from real search volume, the questions already ranking, and the gaps your competitors left open. Nothing gets written because it was somebody's idea in a meeting.

Method

Posts point somewhere

Each post links to the practice area or service page it supports, so the traffic it earns strengthens the page that actually converts rather than dead ending on the blog.

Method

An attorney signs off

Nothing about legal process, deadlines or outcomes goes live until someone at the firm has read it. That is a bar requirement and it is also how the posts stop sounding generic.

4

posts a month is usually the right number for a firm starting out. Twelve thin posts lose to four that answer a real question properly.

How it works

How a month runs

Phase one

Research and calendar

We pull the terms your clients search, check what is already ranking for them and where you sit, then propose the month's topics with the search reason attached to each one. You approve the list.

Phase two

Draft and review

Posts are written against the intent of the search, not to a word count. Anything touching legal process goes to the firm for review, and we build that turnaround into the schedule instead of chasing it.

Phase three

Publish and connect

We publish, set the metadata, add the internal links in both directions and check the post renders and indexes properly. The report each month shows which older posts moved.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about blog posting

How many posts a month do we need?
For most firms four is the right starting number, and for a firm entering a competitive Los Angeles term it is closer to eight for the first quarter. More thin posts is never the answer, and we would rather cut the count than the depth.
Is this AI written?
Research and outlining use every tool available. The drafting is human, because the posts that rank in legal are the ones carrying an actual position, and because a page giving legal information with nobody accountable for it is a bar problem waiting to happen.
How long until a post ranks?
A post on a low competition question can move in four to eight weeks. A competitive Los Angeles head term takes months and needs more than one post to get there. Anyone quoting you a fixed date is guessing.
Who reviews the legal accuracy?
You do. We draft, cite and flag anything that needs a lawyer's eye, then someone at the firm signs off before it goes live. California's advertising rules put that responsibility on the firm, so the loop is built in rather than optional.
Do you write the Spanish posts too?
Yes, written natively in Spanish rather than translated from the English. A translated post reads like a translated post, and the Spanish search terms are frequently not the same terms.
What happens to the posts we already have?
We audit them first. Most firm blogs have posts that are close to ranking and posts that are actively competing with each other. Fixing those is usually faster than writing anything new, so it comes first.
