As you’ve probably noticed, many law firms publish blogs on their websites. If you’ve wondered why, then you’ve come to the right place.
When done properly, blogging can offer many benefits to law firms, including building your brand and educating people facing legal issues.
First, a quick note that in this blog, we’ll be talking a lot about your “audience.” When we talk about audiences, we are referring to the people you want to communicate with, which can include your physical community (the region you serve), your professional community, or simply visitors to your website.
Not every law firm has the desire or resources to blog, and that’s okay. If you have a solid website and social platforms, then you can have a strong web presence without having a legal blog.
However, for law firms that want to go the extra mile for their audiences, blogs offer many benefits. Here are just three examples of the rewards you could reap by having a legal blog.
Through your blog, you can answer questions you commonly hear from your clients to educate people who visit your site. You can also share important or entertaining messages about your law firm, team members, or services.
Offering your expertise through a blog is a great way to demonstrate your value and authority in legal matters related to your practice. If a potential client is seeking an answer to a general question about their legal issue and you provide the answer in your blog, they’ll be more likely to trust your firm when it comes time to hire an attorney.
You can also use your blog to share your thoughts and opinions about legal issues. Your blog can be your voice to both potential clients and your colleagues in the legal field. This can help you generate business through new clients and referrals.
Blogs can help drive traffic from search engines to your website, thus making them a viable tool for search engine optimization (SEO). Typically, blogs that are popular on search engines are those that answer questions people commonly ask online.
