Writing Articles as a Lawyer: How a Legal Marketing Specialist Can Help You

 

It’s no secret that as a lawyer, developing your marketing strategy can be challenging. The tools available to legal professionals are often more limited than in other industries. However, for successful online client acquisition, it’s essential to be visible and establish professional credibility. Achieving both goals is particularly difficult when you manage your practice alone or with just a few colleagues.

So, how can a legal marketing specialist provide valuable support when you want to write educational articles in your field but have limited time and no desire to master SEO yourself?

1. Writing — But What About the Topic?

A good legal marketing article hinges on choosing the right topic. The saying “all information lies with our clients” holds especially true in marketing. Many legal articles are professionally sound but fail to attract new clients for two main reasons:

• They get lost among countless Google results
• They are too complex, lengthy, or difficult for lay readers to understand

The most important part of article writing is topic selection: write about a niche aspect of your practice that addresses your clients’ problems. However, finding the right topic takes time, and legal work often leaves little room for researching current trends or writing articles.

As a legal marketing specialist, I can research popular legal topics for you. You only need to spend one hour in a meeting to go through the article outline. Then, I’ll write the article for you — not only legally accurate but also optimized for marketing and SEO. This way, you can stay focused on your work while being confident your online presence remains professional and engaging.

2. The Perfectionist’s Nightmare: I Have a Good Topic, But How Do I Start?

As a lawyer, you likely encounter many interesting cases daily that could inspire relevant articles. However, it’s important to avoid giving concrete legal advice in a general article — not only is it inappropriate, but without details, it’s impossible to do correctly.

This raises the question: what length and depth should your article have to interest potential clients?

In this case, a legal marketing specialist can help you identify which aspects matter most to your audience. For example, if a client asks a complex legal question, I help break it down and structure the article to be understandable and appealing. Each article also includes a disclaimer encouraging readers to seek personalized legal advice rather than relying solely on internet information.

You can then decide whether to write the article yourself based on our discussion or entrust the entire writing process to the specialist.

3. Great Topic, Awesome Article — But How Will My Clients Find It? SEO in Legal Marketing

You might write an article but, without SEO experience, it may never reach your target audience. Spending hours writing without proper optimization means your content goes unread.

As a legal marketing specialist, I offer proofreading and SEO services to ensure your article meets search engine optimization criteria. This includes embedding relevant keywords, crafting meta descriptions, optimizing article structure, and uploading content to your website.

Additionally, I design a branded cover image aligned with your law firm’s identity to make your article visually appealing. This combination ensures your article is not only discoverable online but also grabs readers’ attention.
