Legal Content Marketing That Ranks, Converts & Gets Cited by AI.
Research-backed practice-area content for California law firms — written to rank on Google, answer the question a client actually asked, and be citable by ChatGPT and Perplexity.
01How the work runs
Six steps from research to published and cited.
The content programme in the order it runs, each step feeding the next.
Content Audit & Strategy
We audit your existing content, analyze every competitor gap, and build a 12-month roadmap aligned with your practice areas and target California markets.
Keyword Architecture
Using Semrush and Ahrefs AI, we map the full topical landscape — every keyword cluster, search intent signal, and content gap your competitors haven't filled yet.
AI-Assisted Creation
GPT-4 and Claude generate first drafts trained on top-ranking legal content. Every piece is reviewed and fact-checked by our legal SEO specialists before it goes live.
SEO Optimization
Surfer SEO AI grades every page against top competitors. We optimize headings, semantic entities, internal links, and schema markup before a single word is published.
GEO Structuring
Every piece is structured to feed AI answer engines — proper FAQ schema, entity signals, and citation-worthy data so your content gets cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Publish, Monitor & Iterate
We publish on a strategic cadence, monitor rankings weekly, and refine content monthly based on performance data, search algorithm changes, and AI citation tracking.
03What we write
The content a California firm actually needs.
Practice Area Pages
Deep, authoritative service pages for every practice and sub-specialty — built to outrank competitors and capture high-intent clients the moment they search.
Location Landing Pages
Hyper-local pages targeting every city, neighborhood, and courthouse in your market — the foundation of local SEO dominance across California.
Legal FAQ Content
Structured Q&A content capturing Featured Snippets and feeding ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews with citable legal answers.
Authority Blog Articles
Thought leadership content that builds topical authority, earns natural backlinks, and keeps your firm visible in ongoing search conversations.
Case Type Guides
In-depth guides for specific case types — car accidents, DUI first offense, wrongful termination — capturing research-stage clients before they call anyone.
Comparison Content
Strategic content answering "do I need a lawyer for X?" and "how much does a lawyer cost?" — consistently the highest-converting query categories in legal.
