What Law Firms Need to Know About Topical Authority and Search Trust

October 9th, 2026 / Kelly Brown / Reading Time: 4 minutes

A law firm’s website can have hundreds of pages and still fail to establish much authority on the subjects it wants to be known for. Publishing more content does not automatically make a firm more credible to search engines or potential clients. What matters is the bigger picture. Does the website demonstrate real depth in […]

How New Law Firms Are Winning Visibility Faster Than Established Practices

October 2nd, 2026 / Kelly Brown / Reading Time: 4 minutes

A new law firm has an obvious disadvantage when it comes to online visibility: It has no history. There may be no established website, no years of blog content, no large collection of backlinks, and no long list of pages already appearing in search results. Yet some new firms manage to build a noticeable online […]

Google Is Pushing AI Answers Further Up Search Results: What Law Firms Need to Do Now

September 25th, 2026 / Kelly Brown / Reading Time: 4 minutes

For years, law firms have invested in search engine optimization because potential clients were searching Google for answers, comparing attorneys, and deciding whom to contact. That behavior is changing. Google says AI Overviews now reach more than 2.5 billion monthly active users, while AI Mode has surpassed 1 billion monthly users. It also reports that […]

Why Standing Still Online Is Riskier Than Changing Strategy

September 18th, 2026 / Kelly Brown / Reading Time: 3 minutes

Law firms rarely decide to stop marketing. What happens more often is quieter. The website is still there. A blog gets published occasionally. Someone checks the firm’s Google profile from time to time. The same SEO strategy that seemed to work a few years ago is still in place. Nothing is technically wrong. But online […]

How Strategic Content Clusters Are Replacing Traditional Legal Blogging

September 11th, 2026 / Kelly Brown / Reading Time: 5 minutes

For years, the standard law firm content strategy was straightforward: publish a blog every week or two, choose a legal keyword, write 500 or 800 words about it, and move on to the next topic. That approach can still produce useful content. But for many law firms, it is no longer the smartest way to […]

Why Practice-Area Pages Are Just as Important as Blog Posts Right Now

September 4th, 2026 / Kelly Brown / Reading Time: 4 minutes

Law firms have spent years being told to publish more blog posts. Write about the latest legal development. Answer another client question. Target another keyword. Publish something new every week. There is value in that strategy. But there is another part of a law firm’s website that deserves just as much attention: the practice-area page. […]

It’s easy to understand why a law firm might look at its marketing budget and start asking hard questions. Maybe you’ve been publishing blogs, updating your website, working on SEO, or maintaining your online presence for months or even years. You look at the results and think, We’re not getting a flood of new cases […]

August 21st, 2026 / Kelly Brown / Reading Time: 4 minutes

If you have been paying attention to digital marketing lately, you may have noticed a new acronym showing up everywhere: GEO. If you already know AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, you may be wondering whether GEO is simply a new name for the same thing. The short answer is: sort of. Unfortunately, the digital marketing […]

August 14th, 2026 / Kelly Brown / Reading Time: 6 minutes

Marketing a law firm has never been inexpensive, but many attorneys are finding that their marketing dollars don’t go as far as they once did.
