Create Evergreen Content by Using Up-to-Date Legal Resources
The term “evergreen” comes up often when discussing content writing for legal blogs. Like the pine and fir trees that stay green year-round, “evergreen” content remains fresh no matter when readers find your page. While breaking news articles, posts sharing the latest statistical data, and blogs covering trending topics may have their time and place, they can also become outdated and irrelevant quickly.
When it comes to writing content for legal blogs, you will want a backlog of evergreen content that will attract your audience months or even years after the content was written. Not only will this give you a better bang for your buck, but it will also ensure your firm always has informative and helpful content to entice a continuing, steady stream of readers in the future.
The research stage is particularly crucial when writing legal content because laws are constantly being amended, and new bills are always being introduced. It’s easy to mistakenly reference articles and legislations that are already out-of-date, which could make what is supposed to be “evergreen” content more akin to “everbrown” before it even hits the internet. Therefore, always double and triple-check to make sure you are only using the most up-to-date resources when creating your content.

Prioritize the Legal Topics You Want to Grow
When starting a legal blog, it’s important to focus on specific legal topics you want to grow. Doing so will ensure you write for the clients you want to reach. A good blog topic teases useful information, answers questions, and builds authority for the legal practice areas you specialize in.
To come up with legal topics, consider the following tips:
- Write out questions you frequently hear from your clients. This could be about certain areas of law or specific legal circumstances
- Consider what legal strategies differentiate you from competitors and break those down in a digestible way to establish trust
- Consider complex legal steps or processes for your practice area
- Dispel legal myths you frequently hear from clients
- Write for the geological area your ideal clients are in
Blogs are a powerful lead-generating tool that can work to amplify your overall marketing strategy. Whether it’s how-to guides, legal advice, or explanations of legal matters, your expertise in your practice area is your biggest strength and may be a sought-after resource for potential clients.
