How to Make Your Law Firm Blog Better

Whether you’re in the legal business or selling sewing machines online, having a blog is an essential part of any digital marketing strategy. Blogging can increase visibility, establish authority, improve your search engine optimization (SEO) efforts, and help you engage with your audience. What you may not know about the blogging world is that blogs aren’t created equal. You shouldn’t have a legal blog unless you intend to write it well; otherwise, your blogging efforts will be for nothing. There are many ways you can make your law firm blog better, but if you don’t have the time or effort to put into it, a legal marketing agency like ApricotLaw can help. 

Know Your Audience

Knowing your audience when writing a blog is essential. If you’re a law firm trying to attract clients online but you’re writing for a young audience who can’t afford your services, then you’ll likely generate few leads from your blog writing. If you target your content toward injured adults in the middle class, you may have better success. You can decide who your target audience is based on past clients and/or clients you desire.

Be Catchy and Concise

When reading online content, most users often skim an article instead of reading every word. Attention spans are short in the world today, so if you want to get your message across, your blog content must be both catchy and concise. You should use short sentences and short paragraphs that explain what you’re trying to say as quickly as possible; that way, you don’t lose your reader’s attention.

Stay Relevant

Staying relevant is the only way your law firm blog will compete against other law firm blogs online. To stay relevant, you must post content regularly, and the topics you write about must address issues your readers are hoping to solve. Keyword research can help you determine what topics to write about because you’ll know what your target audience is searching most often.
