Builds Trust and Thought Leadership

Blogging on relevant topics is an excellent way for your business to build trust and establish thought leadership. The key to creating trust with your law firm is to find ways to incorporate or mention your practice areas within your blog content that educates and shows your firm is an expert in the legal topic. When your firm creates highly relatable content that continues to add value to your readers, your business will become top of mind when it comes to providing help on those legal matters.

Boosts Your SEO

Blogs can play a key role in enhancing your search engine optimization (SEO). Every time your business posts a new blog, you add to the number of indexable pages that exist on your website, as well as utilizing more keywords. Every blog creates another opportunity for your brand to show up and rank on a search engine. Blogs also improve your opportunity to receive more inbound links, where other websites link back to your content. Inbound links improve your SEO and also increase your chances of being discovered by visitors on other sites.

Blogs Drive Traffic to Your Website

Over time, creating blogs will drive steady traffic to your law firm’s website. According to WordStream, 1 in 10 blogs are compounding. This means that organic search traffic for blogs continues to increase over time. The more consistent, valuable content that your firm publishes over time, the higher chance you will create a compounding blog post. Blogs can open multiple avenues for you to drive traffic back to your website.  Posting your blog content on social media platforms also provides your firm with new opportunities to drive traffic back to your website.
