Writing Law Firm Marketing and SEO Friendly Articles
As a legal marketing company focusing on search engine marketing, we spend a lot of time expressing the importance of content. But content doesn’t really do anything if it isn’t published.
Of course, the first part of using content to grow your law firm is to create it.
As a lawyer, you have valuable knowledge that is in demand for your area of practice. To help your search engine optimization effort, you should write a series of articles pertaining to your area or areas of expertise.
To begin, create a title that reflects your keyphrases and the topic that you will be discussing in your article. For demonstration purposes, we will use a Boston divorce lawyer as an example.
Example Title: Boston Divorce Petitioners May Face Delays
Make sure your title is descriptive. Even though we could not get the full keyphrase of “Boston Divorce Lawyer” into this title, we at least got “Boston Divorce.” It’s better to make sure your title is not spammy (using your keyphrases too often or to an extent that it doesn’t make sense) than risk being declined by article publishing sources.
Now it’s time to write a summary. Most article directories (where you will be publishing your article) require a two sentence summary. This should be used to grab the readers’ attention and also consist of your keyphrases.
Example Summary: Are you filing for marriage dissolution in Massachusetts without a Boston divorce lawyer? Here are some ways to avoid delays in your case.
In the summary, we were able to use your keyphrase while making the statement still sound relevant and not spammy.
Next week we will talk about the article body, word count, and how to make the article send traffic to your law firm website without sounding like an advertisement.
