The Challenge
Making SEO practical across a high-volume legal publishing workflow
Law.com publishes a large volume of legal news, analysis, and professional content. Search performance could not depend on one SEO specialist reviewing every article after publication.
The scalable solution was to give editorial teams the knowledge to make better search decisions before content went live, while also supporting marketing initiatives with audits and strategic recommendations.
Enterprise SEO Training
Building search strategy into everyday editorial decisions
The training translated SEO into practical actions writers and editors could apply while developing, reviewing, and publishing legal content.
Keyword and Audience Research
Showed teams how to identify relevant search language, understand audience intent, and use keywords naturally within editorial content.
Headlines and Search Presentation
Improved how topics were communicated through clear, specific headlines, descriptions, and page structures.
Editorial Workflow Integration
Embedded SEO into topic selection, writing, editing, internal linking, publication, and performance review.
Law.com and the ALM Publishing Network
Training built around real legal publishing properties
The presentation used examples from Law.com and related ALM Media publications, making the guidance immediately relevant to the teams responsible for producing and promoting legal content.
